Book on Weblogic Portal and beehive page flow portal integration

I request oracle press to write a book on Weblogic Portal as well as Creating pageflow based portlets with weblogic portal and workshop.
The old edocs.bea.com documentation sucks and does not meet the oracle press standard.
Thanks

The Beta 9.2 Team,
9.2 features sounds good and interesting. We are using BEA's Content management system(8.1) extensively.
Our requirement is to create a portlet for Content Owner/Users to create HTML documents with images and upload it into BEA Repository. Upon uploading, Content Admin needs to be notified through email and they will either approve or reject the document. The content status again needs to be notified to the content owner/user via email.
1. As known to everyone 8.1 doesn't have WYSIWYG editor and is included in 9.2. Can i reuse the 9.2 WYSIWYG functionality into 8.1 as a portlet??
2. The following thread(http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=400001479&tstart=0) says
- workflow ==> We have limited workflow support. We plan to enhance this in our next major release.
Does this limited workflow support include email notification?
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
-Nach.

Problem with JSF Beehive Page Flow

Hi
I created a JSF Beehive Page Flow and if i prove it outside a portal it works fine. The problem begins when I create a page flow portlet and put it in a portal. With debuging i saw that the begin method of the pageflow is executed and the oncreate of the JSF backing bean too, but the page is not displayed.
The begin method looks some like this:
     @Jpf.Action(forwards = {
@Jpf.Forward(name="success", path="/Index.faces")
     protected Forward begin() {
          return new Forward("success");
If anyone has any suggestions or working samples, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you created the portlet from pageflow, it won't work.
But you can try create portlet from "new->portlet->JSF portlet" and give the beginning faces page to the content path, (for your case "/Index.faces"). It will work. I have tried this way, it works on WLP 10

Investigate book with both landscape and portrait pages

I've an old book where I sucessfully swapped landscape and portrait pages, but there are complications why I cannot use it as a model for my current project. Since I no longer remember how I accomplished this, I have to investigate how to build a book with both landscape and portrait pages.
I know about paragraph tags set to use a new page. Also a table on Reference page which lists Paragraph Tag Name, Right-Handed Master Page, Left-Handed Master Page, Range Indicator.
But this doesn't seem to be enough; something is not working.
Could you please point me toward resources which discuss how to do this?
Thank you kindly,
Theresa

I think there was a big discussion of this already either here on the forum or over at the Frameusers.com list (I forget which). Try googling -

Weblogic portal Integration with UCM by weblogic virtual repository

Anyone has experience with Weblogic portal Integration with UCM by weblogic virtual repository? Thanks.

Since only folders_g can be used for integrating with Webcenter Spaces/Portal we are not sure of what our strategy should be. Is there plan to use framework folders with Webenter in the future?Certainly there are. Unfortunately, no exact date/release has been communicated so far. If you need a quick implementation (following few next months) I'm afraid you will have to go with folder_g

Books for weblogic portal certification exam.

Hi,
I am planning to give Weblogic portal 10g certification exam.
Can any body please suggest me the books this certification.

I was one of the first people to take this test when I worked at BEA on Portal. It's an exercise in WLP trivia. Memorize every menu in Workshiop as well as all of the NetUI stuff related to Portal like placeholders, content management, etc. The WLP class material helps a lot. However, if you don't have access to this info, then study the Beehive stuff. MEMORIZE all of the tag arguments.

JDeveloper 10g and Struts Page Flow

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to congratulate JDev Team for providing us with this amazing new tool.
I am evaluating JDeveloper 10g and its Struts/Tiles integration, since we are now selecting the IDE to be used by our company in its projects.
I noted the following: In Struts Page Flow, the component pallete does not have a component do represent a Tiles definition.
I'd like to know if there are plans to include such a component, considering that this is crucial to our projects.
If not, could you please provide us with directions to do so ?
I am looking forward to your reply.
Thanks a lot !

Juarez,
You are quite correct that the visual Struts modeling does not support tiles yet. Rest assured that it's on the list of features we're working on.
What that means is that you're not going to visualise the links / submits from the tiles themselves.
However, the tiles taglib is available in the visual JSP editor so you should have no problem creating tiles content.
Likewise you can create the relevant plug-in entries for tiles by right clicking on the Struts Config node in the Structure Pane (when the struts-config or the diagram is selected) and from the new menu you'll see plug-in.
The final option is of course to edit the XML directy should you want to.

Weblogic Portal integration with Lotus 8.5

Hello all,
I'm working on a project which involves building an intranet Portal and the customer has Lotus 8.5 which wants to integrate in the Weblogic Portal using wsrp portlets. More precisely they want to have in their portal the lotus calendar portlet, lotus mail portlet,lotus notes portlet, lotus sametime portlet ..etc. I found an old documentation and sample of this kind of portlets developed by Oracle but they don't work because of some errors when they try to retrieve the Lotus configuration. The documentation is this one : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/point/lotusnotes/installation.html
I tried to find the authors of this documentation, or perhaps who developed the portlets and ask them if they can adapt the portlets for an integration between Weblogic Portale and Lotus Notes 8.5. If somebody knows about this topic or can help me with fixing the problem I have with the portlets please let me know - my e-mail is [email protected]
Thank you very much, your help is very much appreciated !

Hello,
First of all let me thank you Brad, for taking the time to answer, it's very nice of you. After I read you post I spent a couple of hours searching for the installer of the recommended "WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration". After searching everywhere I could possible search : OTN, E-Delivery, Metalink, ias.us.oracle.com I could not find the installer of this portlets. In the Installation Guide it says : " 2. Download the software from the Oracle Software Downloads site. " - there is nothing related to Portlets for Groupware on OTN.
Now, I'm ashame but I have to give up, I guess perhaps this portlets for groupware integration are bundeled into some kit with a different name, I don't know, believe me I tried to find them, I searched the documentation but with no luck.
I would be very thankful if you can point me to the installer of this portlets. Thank you very much again !

Announcing: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper

Just Released: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper
A supplemental developer's guide has been published to help guide WLP 10.x customers that wish to use JSF as the web framework for building portlets on WebLogic Portal. This is a sizable document (150 pages) that covers a large number of topics. It also coaches developers on best practices and common pitfalls.
Important: It also clarifies the supported configuration of JSF within Portal Web Projects. Workshop for WebLogic by default configures a web project in a configuration that is not supported by WebLogic Portal. The guide explains how to address this:
* Change from the unsupported MyFaces JSF implementation to the supported Sun Reference Implementation (RI)
* Change from the unsupported "client" STATE_SAVING_METHOD to the supported "server"
The guide can be downloaded here:

Hi Peter!
First, I wish to thank you for the great work.
We followed your whitepaper and managed to deploy a JSF portlet on WLS.
But we are not able to register it (consume it) as remote portlet in Oracle Portal 10.1.4. The error log is as follows:
An error occurred while trying to refresh the provider. (WWC-43190)
An error occurred during the call to the WSRP Provider:

FrameMaker 10 Save as PDF and landscape pages

Using FrameMaker 10 on Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit system - When I use the Save as PDF function on a book containing both portrait and landscape pages, the landscape pages are clipped to portrait mode. If I print to Adobe PDF, the page orientation is correct in the PDF, however, no bookmarks are generated. If I check the Convert CMYK colorsto RGB setting in the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog box, then the page orientation in the PDF is correct, and the bookmarks are generated as they were in FrameMaker 8.
Is there a method to this madness?

I have Acrobat 8 Pro. The explanation of the RGB mode with XP makes sense. I did not know that. Makes me wonder how Frame 8 was producing all the nice PDFs we have used for the last couple of years.
I tried that setting because I saw others were having issues with that and wondered if there was a relationship between the two. Just a guess.
Printing to a file and distilling it does not produce a PDF at all.
Thanks for your help.

Calling a Page(flow logic ) from a controller

Hi Guru's ,
I have a senario in which I have a controller and also Page flow logic .. I want to call a page of type page flow logic from the controller ..
I tried the below methods .. but it didnt work ..
*navigation->goto_page('test.htm').
DATA: r_view TYPE REF TO if_bsp_page.
DISPATCH_INPUT( ).
r_view = create_view( view_name = 'test.htm' ).
call_view( r_view ).
this works only if its is a view but not flow logic ..
Please give ur suggesions ..
Thanks
Sivaraj

hi sivaraj ,
first refer whether u could call a page using pages with flow logic by the controller which is used in mvc design.
may be u canot call it . u have to create a page using view according to mvc . try it once.

Java.lang.StackOverflowError on Go To Code in Page Flow Diagram

If I select Go To Code in a Struts Page Flow Diagram with a Data Page, the cursor changes to a hourglass and back to a pointer and nothing else happens. The java window reports a java.lang.StackOverflowError.
Normally, I would expect the create class wizard that helped me to subclass oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionMapping, which was the case a few days ago.
Any idea what could be wrong ?

I found the reason myself: If the UIX project has a dependence to a BC4J project Project1 containing the AM Module and Project1 by itself has a dependency to a BC4J project Project2 containing the EO, this error shows up. Simply remove the dependency (Project Properties - Dependencies), and the Page Flow Modeler behaves as expected.
Another detail: Doubleclicking on the Data Page instead of Context Menu - Go To Code opens a window showing BME-99009: An error has occured in the Java VM reporting the same short stack trace java.lang.StackoverflowError.

Page Flow Diagram

I need to create a diagram of an application and the page flows. I'll probably use visio. Has any one done anything similar? or does anyone have a script to query the flows schema and return each page with the branches from it. It would be a lot easier to document if I had a printed list of pages rather then flicking back to htmldb for each page and branch.
While I'm here, is there a way to record the preferences I set regarding number of pages to list and the group selected to always filter unless I change it. It's most annoying to have to refilter and find the page I want each time. Even better would be if I could filter the list of pages based on a selected tab set.

Use Visio Professional >> Database >> Database Model Diagramm
goto menue: Database >> Reverse Engineer select your data source >>> select tables and off you go
Visio does everything for you!

Page Flow - Null request attributes

Hi.
I am using the netui:anchor and netui:paramter tags to add attributes to the request
object. However in the pageflow when I try to get them from the request using
this.getRequest().getParameter("xxx") - it seems to be NULL.
Any clues?
Girish

Hey Richard -
I solved this problem using the outerrequest and the scopedrequestutil classes.
However, I still have the page flow caching issue that many folks seem to be posting
on the newsgroups.
Thanks
