Run ADF Application In IE11

In this post I will show how you can run ADF application developed by JDeveloper 11g in Internet Explorer 11 (IE11).

- In ADF application create new java class (e.g IECompatibilityFilter.java)

	import java.io.IOException;
	import javax.servlet.Filter;
	import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
	import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
	import javax.servlet.ServletException;
	import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
	import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
	import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
	import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper;
	public class IECompatibilityFilter implements Filter
	{
	public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException
	{
	String userAgentStr = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getHeader("user-agent");
	if (userAgentStr != null && (userAgentStr.contains("MSIE 1") || userAgentStr.contains("Trident")))
	{
	ServletRequest wrappedRequest = new WrapperRequest((HttpServletRequest) request);
	chain.doFilter(wrappedRequest, response);
	}
	else
	{
	chain.doFilter(request, response);
	}
	}
	public void destroy()
	{
	}
	public void init(FilterConfig arg0)
	throws ServletException
	{
	}
	private class WrapperRequest extends HttpServletRequestWrapper
	{
	public WrapperRequest(HttpServletRequest request)
	{
	super(request);
	}
	public String getHeader(String name)
	{
	HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) getRequest();
	if ("user-agent".equalsIgnoreCase(name) && request.getHeader("user-agent").contains("MSIE 10"))
	{
	return request.getHeader("user-agent").replaceAll("MSIE [^;]*;", "MSIE 9.0;");
	}
	if ("user-agent".equalsIgnoreCase(name) && request.getHeader("user-agent").contains("Trident"))
	{
	String newAgentStr = "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.2; Trident/6.0)";
	return newAgentStr;
	}
	return request.getHeader(name);
	}
	}
	}

- In web.xml add this

	<filter>
	<filter-name>IECompatibilityFilter</filter-name>
	<filter-class>packageName.IECompatibilityFilter</filter-class>
	</filter>
	<filter-mapping>
	<filter-name>IECompatibilityFilter</filter-name>
