Implement a blog and discussion forum using weblogic portal

Hi All,
Has anybody implemented blog and discussion forum using weblogic portal or oracle web center?
What are the best options?
Thanks
Ananth

As far as I remember, Web Center have these Portlets BUT I guess the backend application server for them was Oracles Application Server. So you may end up using WebCenter with Oracle App Server for these Blogs, Forums Portlet. But the latest release of WebCenter kind of supports on Weblogic Server as backend app server. See this bottom link and click on More Info " + " icon next to WebCenter Suite and see Required Software section.

I know WebCenter does have Beehive Services for Forums, Blogs, Wikis, but not sure if they have Portlets for these Services. Check in WebCenter Forums and post this question there.
Thanks

Implement blog and discussion forum using weblogic portal or web center

Hi All,
Has anybody implemented blog or discussion forum using weblogic portal or oracle web center?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
We are trying something similar. We are using a WebCenter application and using built in task flows. These can now be deployed as portlets on WebLogic portal.
Another approach i can think of is using Jive Services (Restful services) directly from a custom J2EE appplication (Exactly same thing which Oracle provided Task Flow does). This will give you more control.
For Wiki, there is no such alternative.

How to deploy the Wikis, Blogs and Discussions Sample Portlets ?

Hi all,
I'm trying to deploy Wikis, Blogs and Discussions Sample Portlets located at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/release11_demos.html (the demo at the bottom).
I've successfully, deployed the portlet to WebCenter Portlet service using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0.
And I've successfully register the porlet proivder in 11g Portal.
However, when I added the portlet to a new page, it returns error
"Error: Could not get markup. The cookie or session is invalid or there is a runtime exception".
I've recreated the page and refresh the screen. But still got the error.
Anyone know what's going wrong?
Thanks!
Larry

I found that the sample code has hard coded the WikiRemoteService to be
http://localhost:7001/owc_wiki/services/WikiRemoteService
Our environment use another port. After chaning the port number, both interfaces of Wiki and Blog (I just added the two portlets in to a Portal 11g Page) could be loaded. Also, I can create blog, blog entry, add comment via the Blog interface.
However, Wiki portlet seems not working properly. The request I submit via the interface (e.g. show wiki) returns me error
"The service does not appear to be responding. Please enter a valid url."
Anybody has idea?
Thanks.

Developing portal using Weblogic portal 10.3 or weblogic workshop 10.3

Hello
I am new to portal development. I see that one can develop portal using Oracle weblogic workshop 10.3 which has many features including Java Page Flow and Java controls. I am wondering what extra features one can get using Weblogic portal 10.3. The Weblogic platform 10.3 which I use does not have weblogic portal, it has weblogic AS and workshop. Do I need weblogic portal install now or in future while developing portal. I am trying to develop a portal from scratch. Any input will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Some suggesssions,
While installing the weblogic you need select weblogic portal option also. Only for weblogic different installation exe file with portal different exe file.
To get the weblogic portal server and portal work shop with weblogc you need to down load weblogic portal 10.3 exe file.
Thanks,
Venkata Sarvabatla

Error when using weblogic portal 10.3.5

Hi, everyone.
- I'm using weblogic portal 10.3.2 to develop a portal. Now, i deploy my project for customer but they want to deploy it in Centos OS.
- I down load weblogic portal form oracle site but it don't have 10.3.2 version. I use the latest version oracle weblogic portal 10.3.5 but when run my project it has error:
com.bea.content.AuthenticationException: Error authenticating to repository: WLP. Possible cause could include, but is not limited to a bad repository configuration or the repository is unknown. Error message: java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException
- Can anyone help me the link down load oracle weblogic portal 10.3.2 for linux or help me resolve this error.
Thank a lot!

Hi..
They changed a few things in 10.3.. see http://edocs.bea.com/common/docs103/install/silent.html#wp1044118
looks like the Server sub category has changed to Core Application Server..
If you checkout the log.txt file in the logs directory of the root where you've installed a copy using the gui, it generally lists all the installation options available.
..Mark.

How to develop a discussion forum using Java?

I am actually developing a forum using Java. That would actually include registering process for a new user and if the user has an account, he can log in. The program should then generate a welcome message and a randomly-created password of 8 char (char+digits), this wil be printed on the screen. I am quite a newbie in this area.. Appreciate for ur help
Thanzz....

and what is more import than actual programming when making a software like a forum system is the database design.
so first you have to designe your database
decide which data that you have to store and decide what are the table that you will need and what columns that you want in the tables
thats where you should start

IWeb, Blogging and Comments when using a different Host

Hi
I have an iWeb site, using Google Domain name, and hosting services of Network Solutions. I want to add a Blog to my site but allow for comments. Currently, iWeb is telling me that comments are added only if I use my MobileMe account. Is there a way to have a blog in iWeb, publish through my current host and have a comment feature that will update properly without kinks? I am considering using Blogger (Google) but unsure of what to do. Any suggestions or realities are accepted! Thanks

Just use Blogger or WordPress to create your blog and then you can place a link on your website to your blog. Either that or you can display your blog directly in your site by using iframe code.
Your other alternative is to use the iWeb blog and use something like http://www.intensedebate.com as a comment feature. You could include it on the same page as the blog or put it on a different page.
Personally, I don't like the iWeb blog, so I use WordPress for my blog and just keep a link to it from my site so that it goes straight to the blog and then opens in a new page.

How to develop discussion forums using java

Hi, can any one kindly explain how to develop disccussion forums using java.
the application is like same as this forum. one post and the replies are come after that. creating new threads.
any tutuorial is available for this. what is best dabase for this. and which application server is required.

if you want to use a forum for sum purpose download an opensource forum software and deploy it in a server that support the serverside technology that it uses.
If you dont want to go through the trouble of installing the the forum software (normally there is a quaita bit of configuration to do). Goole for Free Forum Hosting and you will get plenty of places that hosts forums for you. Since they do the installation you dont have to wory about that part.
If you really want to develop a forum software first install an existing open source forum or get an account in a free forum hoster and take good look at the forum software and the features that it provides.
In here you only see the front end of the forum. The back end is much more complicated. You have to define forums and forum groups, you have to define user groups, you have to define which users has access to which forums. who can start topics and who can reply to topics and whgo has read only access. And how to clollect and stor statistics like number of posts by each user. And the list goes on...
So first take a look at the features in both front and back end of an existing forum software and decide what you want in your software. Then you can design the database to support those features. And then start coding.
Technicaly you will need to know how to do servlets/JSP and JDBC in order to build a forum. Most important part is you have to do lots of planing.

Search of forums using global portal search (TREX) finds no results

Hello,
we are running EP 7.00 SP 12, and have installed and configured the forums application.
According to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/47/17904a21fa3696e10000000a11466f/content.htm], it is also possible to search the forums using the global portal search.
After the forums installation, the index and queue were automatically created for the forums. TREX Delta indexing of forum object is enabled in System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Repository Managers -> Forum Repository. As I understand it, this should be enough for TREX to be able to index forum objects. There exist some simple threads in the forums, but when searching in the portal for some keywords that exist also in the threads, I get no results.
I looked at the queue of the forums index, and there have been only 6 entries, so I performed a reindexing and got now about 24 entries, but still the portal search returns no result.
Is there anything that I've missed or any further suggestions to test for?
P.S. I am quite new to the SAP (NetWeaver) domain, maybe I missed some mandatory settings or configurations...

Hi Martin,
thanks for your reply.
Till now, I didn't manage to solve the problem. I was away the last week, so I didn't had any time for working on this issue.
Currently I am not able to test your suggestions, because there is a new problem with the index. The index has now the state "pending". Because of this state I am not able to perform any further actions like re-indexing and so on. On help.sap.com there is only little information about this state. But for me it looks like, that there has to be performed some actions in the TREX Admin Tool, so that this index can be used again.
I tried also the following on the portal:
- Delete this forum index
- Disable TREX delta indexing in the forums repository manager
- Enable TREX delta indexing in the forums repository manager.
This caused the creation of a new index for the forum. This new created index had however the initial state of "pending"...
Has anyone further suggestions on this topic?
P.S. Has someone successfully implemented such a scenario in his portal? (global portal search for forums)

R/3 Secure Store and Forward, while using SAP portal for SSO

Hello,
We are using SAP Portal UME for authentication, then SAP SSO tickets to log into the SAP R/3 system. Initially we decided that the end users would have a "disabled password" so that they must use the portal authentication mechanism to get into R/3 and therefore could not log in straight to R/3 system via SAP GUI.
All was working fine until during integration testing when someone tried to use the electronic signature function on a QM t-code (QA11) that prompted for an e-sig. Since local passwords have been disabled, the user could not execute the e-sig.
We do not want to activate local R/3 passwords for the users. Can anyone give some advice or a best practice regarding how to set up electronic sigs in R/3 while using an external authentication source? FYI, we are also trying to avoid using the LDAP connector from R/3 to our LDAP.
Please comment for any clarity needed or comments,
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Good point - but I'm afraid of not knowning an instant answer.
Well, theoretically one could make use of the fact that an NWAS ABAP can act as http client (submitting http requests to the NWAS Java to validate logon data); but that's just a rough idea.

Safari 401 and Discussion Forum

I noticed, after upgrading to Safari 4.0.1, that the "search forum" box displays incorrectly (in the upper right corner). There is a shadow box and magnifying glass (not the one in the Safari Google Toolbar).

See this reply: _Forum search bar anomaly_.

I am devloping discussion forum using jsp,jscript,sql2005server

pls help me how to develop online descussion forum, any one know how to develop this forum, and any open source tools or any related information pls sent to me

Oh, cripes.
<sigh> Well, have you thought about it at all? No? Didn't think so.
You have a database connected to a website (which is essentially all a forum is). Your tables could be User (if you need to log in), Post )for a new thread topic) and Reply (for replies to a thread).
When a User logs in (first thing to do perhaps....along with registering) you can either reply to existing threads or post a new topic. A new topic will enter a title and author (from User....foreign key again) into the Post table and the actual thread with the PostID as a foreign key to the Thread table. The body of the message becomes the first entry for that PostID in the Thread table. Replies simply add new entries to the Thread table automatically passing the PostID into the table. You can also add other cool things like private messages between users, showing top-ten posters, post counts for each user, profiles and graphical avatars and functionality like that
But since you've not shown any disernable effort, I can't be too bothered to explain everything. Essentially writing web forums is pretty easy with a little database design. Have a think about it and post back.
