GLOCO’s acquisition of three other companies has

resulted in an IT infrastructure that is maintaining

four independent systems. There are duplicate

applications and services. Employees currently must

access multiple portals to perform their work.

GLOCO needs to provide a single access point to

reduce costs and improve employee productivity. The

CIO requested an infrastructure improvement project

RFP to address this issue.

Portal DescriptionThe Portals will be comprised of the following elements:

JSF Portlets - using a JSF Portlet Bridge.

Web Clipping- using browser and show other sites

(example-web mail).

OmniPortlets - information from data sources including

XML, CSV, and databases to show tables, forms, and

charts (example-rss).

Content Presenter - displaying content by using a

template.

Ensemble - "mashup" or produce portlets of information

that can be displayed on the page and can consume any

non- Java based applications.

JSR-168 and JSR-268JSR-168

Defines how components for the portlet servers are developed. Defines a portlet container – much like how a servlet runs inside a servlet

container. Defines methods to determine required functionality such as init()

and destroy(). Configured to provide custom views or behaviors for different users

through name-value pairs. Each portlet has a current mode that indicates function such as view

and edit and a window state that determines how much page space is used and how much information to render.

The reference implementation is the Apache Pluto server.JSR-268

Enables portlets to communicate with each other. Serves dynamically generated resources. Serves AJAX and JSON directly through portlets. Defines filters that can transform the content of portlet requests and

responses on the fly Implements WSRP-2.0 Web Services for Remote Portlets Specification

Portlet Producer Overview The user requests a page from the Web browser by entering a URL in the browser’s address field

The browser transmits the request to the application over HTTP.

The application contacts the portlet producers which

provide the portlets that display on the requested page.

The producers make the necessary calls to their portlets so

that the portlets generate content in the form of HTML or

XML code.

The producers return the portlet content back to the

application using their relevant protocols.

RSS and EmailRSS

RSS is one of many services that are considered “out of the box” WebCenterfunctionality. Configuration of the RSS includes:

Setting up a proxy server Specifying the host and port Setting Wiki and Blog to use Basic Authentication Creating an external application for reading a secure RSS feeds Sharing the external application ID with those creating RSS feeds Add the RSS location to the page receiving the RSS feed

EmailPerforms simple email functions such as view, create, delete messages, add attachments, forward, and reply to existing email.

The email server complies with IMAP4 and SMTP protocols. It uses Microsoft Exchange Server to:

Import the certificate to the Keystore, Port 993 is configured for IMAP and port 587 for SMTP. Fusion Middleware Control is used to configure the e-mail server. Creates an external application to view in WebCenter Portal.

Steps to Add an Application to a Portal

1Portletize Application

2Use JSF-Portlet Bridge in the WebCenter Framework.

3Application will be JSR 168-based portlet afterwards.

4Add JSF-Portlet Bridge library to Portlet project.

5Deploy JSF portlet to WSRP Portlet Container.

6Register portlet as WSRP producer with the GLOCO portal application.

7Add the Portlet to the GLOCO portal.

Portlet Integration

To wire the portlet code into the Portal using Oracle WebCenter Ensemble: 1 Create a Remote Server object.2 Create a Portlet Web Service object.3 Create a Portlet Object.4 Place the portlet on a portal page. To add the portlet code into the Portal using a JSF Portlet Bridge: 5 Add JSF-Portlet Bridge library to Portlet 

project. 6 Deploy JSF portlet to WSRP Portlet

Container.7 Register the portlet as WSRP producer

with the GLOCO portal application. 8 Add the portlet to the GLOCO portal.
