Answer 1

First off, Oracle has ceased the Forms as a project some time ago, now it also stopped supporting it. Forms used to be a framework for desktop applications with easy connection to Oracle database, pretty much like VBS on top of Access. ADF is a complete framework covering all middleware aspects of an MVC architecture. Comparing ADF to Forms is something like comparing Ferrari to Yugo.

Answer 2
