Exception thrown while trying to acquire data from Profile Data Control

Question

I created a new WebCenter Portal Application (with JDeveloper 11.1.1.4).
Then tried to acquire data from Profile Data Control through getProfile().WCUserProfile to create a read-only form with profile data.
After deploying (to internal WLS) and running I got a popup saying:
*Exception [EclipseLink-7060] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.1.2.v20101104-r8475): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.ValidationException Exception*
Description: Cannot acquire data source [java:comp/env/jdbc/WebCenterDS].
Internal Exception: javax.naming.LinkException: [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup 'jdbc.webcenter.CustomPortalDS' didn't find subcontext 'webcenter'. Resolved 'jdbc'; remaining name 'webcenter/CustomPortalDS']; Link Remaining Name: 'jdbc/webcenter/CustomPortalDS'
The question is how can I create such a data source to acquire data needed?

Answer 1

Hi, there's two ways, in both ways you need use the user <PRE>_WEBCENTER that RCU create.
1 - You can go in your console and create de dataSource, as Yannick sad. You can use your production database if you want get some more real tests, or you can get some develope database and run RCU. You can copy the configuration from you WLS server that are installed webcenter to make this easy.
2 - In develop mode you can just create a database connection name "WebCenter", just like sad here:
