Content Area API in 9.0.2 (wwsbr_api) is there a workaround?

The end goal is to have a button in a region that takes users to an add item form. I want to have the button right on the page, without having to go to edit mode.
So, looking at the PDK I see wwsbr_api.add_item.
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/sdk23ai.htm
Unfortunately, 9.0.2.2.22 does not support this API. Additionally, this document references a view, WWSBR_ALL_FOLDER_REGIONS, that does not exist in this release of Portal.
Does anyone have a suggestoin for how to do this in 9.0.2?

11g XE is actually based on 11.2.0.2.0. It actually includes some fixes and changes in addition to that patchset.
That means the problem either exists in all post-11.2.0.2 releases or is due to some XE-specific change. If you experience the problem in any post-11.2.0.2 or 12c release, let me know. I can file a bug and have the problem identified and fixed.
With an XE bug, it can't be fixed until Oracle's next XE release, even if we identify it now. That will likely be around a year after Oracle releases DB 12c R2.

    Does the content area API work with Release 2 yet?

    Release 2 page group APIs will be available in early 2003, in the first PDK version following the 9.0.2.6 (upgrade) release. These APIs will be backward compatible with the 3.0.9 content area APIs.

  • Content Area - Java API

    Hi All,
    If there a Java API for the content area? I need to implement a portlet which will need to deal with the content area.
    Any insight will be greatly appreciated!
    Vince

    ignore my last question, I found an example on the internet.
    The whole reason why I have to write my own search portlet was that the search portlet came with oracle portal does not support search for selected content areas, it has to be one or all. When I look at the procedure call submit_search in the content area API, it also only supports searching in one/all area(s) according to the parameter ( I copied & pasted it from the doc):
    p_caid - The ID of the content area to be searched. Note: If you enter the value 0, all content areas are searched.
    Datatype: in number
    Default: 0
    It were an array of number instead of just number, then I could pass in the content area IDs to be searched. I couldn't do so, because it only accepts the specific ID or 0 (for all). Is there any workaround?
    Thanks,
    Vince

  • Accessing secured content area view from JPDK

    Is it possible to access the secured content are views from JPDK?
    For example if I am logged on as user USER1 in Portal, is it then possible to access WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS as USER1?

    hi,
    You can access Content Area APIs from any user using JDBC calls. But, you may have to grant 'EXECUTE' privileges on those procedures (& SELECT privilege if its a DB object like Table, VIEW).
    If you are using PL/SQL procedures in your application, you can directly access them through PL/SQL calls, otherwise you have to use JDBC.

  • Content Area: Cannot edit/drill down to folders at the lowest level

    URGENT: Need your help.
    I am using Oracle Portal 3.0.6 (Production) installed on Win NT 4.0 Server with Oracle 8.1.7. I am working on hosting a website for my development group.
    I created a Content Area and associated it with a page style. Then I created numerous folders to meet the requirements of the various product teams working in my team. Under each folders, I created various sub-folders. Now I want to add items under each folder I created. Earlier, using the link "Edit Folder", I could do by clicking on the folder under which I wanted to create an item. Now when I click on the folder, it returns back the same page showing all the folders along with the icons meant for "Edit", "Add", "Delete", "Move" and "Copy". Nothing is happening and I am stuck here. It displays all the sub-folders with links upto 2-level, since I set the navigator property to the level 2. But I cannot navigate to the sub-folder created at the third level by clicking on the sub-folder link above it (at the 2-level) and add any items under the clicked folder.
    Only mistake I could think about was by mistake, I tried to delete a content area which was created for test purpose. There were folders created under this. But I attempted to delete the content area directly without deleting the folders underneath. I got an error saying ".... child records exist". Later while clicking on the tab "content area", I was getting the following error:
    An unexpected error ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value occurred when executing action of the SITE datasource. (WWC-38130)
    (WWS-00000)
    Error:No data found (WWS-32101)
    ORA-1403: ORA-01403: no data found
    ORA-01403: no data found (WWC-36000)
    normal, successful completion (WWS-00000)
    All product teams already submitted the contents they want me to put on the folders but I am unable to resolve the above problem. Any help / pointer to the above issue will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

  • Setting focus to content area or top of the page

    Hi,
    I have a page with 3 columns, Left navigation (KM Document iView) in column 1 and Content Area (URL iView) column2 and there are other iViews in column 3. On click of the links in left navigation area the content is loaded in the content area. My left nav is too long, so I get scroll bar and when I click the bottom most link in the left nav, the content is uploaded in the content area. But the focus is not set to content area or top of the page.
    Is there anyway to set the focus to the top of the page or to content area.
    URL iView uses URL isolation method and we don't want to use embedded isolation method.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Modify a content area item so it is approved (via API?)

    Hi,
    Does anyone know of a way to programmatically modify an item that has been created with approval so that it is approved?
    I am trying to integrate a workflow process to item addition in content areas so that the final step is to programmatically approve it(thus making it appear in the folder). The publicly available API procedures/functions to modify/create an item do not specify a way to approve as well.
    Can this be done? Thanks in anticipation

  • Automatic upload of content area items from the O/S

    I wish to automate the upload of content area items into the portal. Can this be done via the PDK or otherwise?
    I have a number of PDF and HTML reports that get generated and placed into a physical directory on the server. I want all these files from a specific directory to be uploaded as items into the portal automatically so that users can view the reports with appropriate security. The reports can be modified so that when run they insert a record into a custom table to store their path and file names. This can be used by a custom procedure to point to the files at the point of upload.
    However, can this upload actually be done?
    Any ideas on how to do this would be useful.
    Regards,
    John

    Physical path on the database server.
    Using the api to upload is easy as long as you provide the content-area id, folder-id, display-name, item-type (PORTAL30.WWSBR_API.ITEM_TYPE_FILE), content-area type id (PORTAL30.WWSBR_API.SHARED_OBJECTS), folder-region-id (whatever it is for Regular Items, you'll find it in wwsbr_all_folder_regions) and the physical file-name.

  • Programmatic "Content management API"?

    Is there any programmatic (Java) "Content management API"?
    I'm developing a webservice through which I want to "simulate" user activity in the portal - to add items, create folders etc.
    My concept:
    Deploy a Java webservice that calls CM API.
    Call this webservice from a different (nonJava) application to do the task.
    In other words, I need an API to connect to. Is it a good concept or possible at all?
    Or is the only way PL\SQL?
    Is this the right forum to ask?
    Thank you, Peter

    Emil,
    even there are not yet Java APIs for Content management, you can rely on PL/SQL APIs that exist.
    These APIs are provided trough a database plsql package which is : WWSBR_API.(since 9.0.2.6)
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1012/wwsbr_api.html
    You just need, either to generate a WebService based on the different procedures of functions, or create you own WebServices accessing to these pacakges via jdbc.
    Jdeveloper provide a wizzard for generating a WS from an existing PLSQL package.
    There are some limitations (restrictions on data types or collections), but that works for most of case.
    About Content API, there is a good probability that these APIs become more rich (I don't know if it will be both for Java and PlSql).

  • How to customize the default add item in a content area

    Hi!! I want to know what can I do to introduce a file in a content area, but I don't want to use the default page that portal use. I want to customize the add item option, the same that I have done with the folders. The problem that I have is that I need the user to have the file on his/her pc, and the api add_item needs the file on unix, where de DB is installed.
    If anyone has any idea, please help me.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for all your reply, but maybe i didn't describe my problem clear. My problem for the combobox is that once the combobox has a selected value, then there is no way to clear it in the UI even I remove all the items in its ValidValues. From the user interface, the selected value still stays there but actually this combobox is empty and does not have any items. My question is how can I remove the current selected item in the combobox.
    Thanks,
