Integrating Oracle Social Network with ADF Application in UI

Hello,
I'm new to ADF as well as OSN, I went through the ADF tutorial (Developing RIA Web Applications with Oracle ADF) and understood a little bit.
My requirement is to integrate the Oracle Social Network in the ADF web application UI. I found the link "Implementing Oracle Social Network Integration - 11g Release 7 (11.1.7)"
I'm finding difficulties in following the documentation, particularly the pre-requisites.
* I use JDeveloper version 11.1.1.7.0 and I have downloaded all updates related to webcenter in my JDeveloper.
May I request you to add few more screen shots that explain where to enter the Oracle Social Network URL in JDeveloper.
Else a simple tutorial with screen shots would be a great help!
Thank you,
MC.

MC, the documentation you are looking at is specific to Fusion Apps developers integrating with Oracle Social Network. If you are looking to do generic ADF development including work against OSN then this is probably not the place to start. Are you a Fusion Apps developer, or are you an Oracle Cloud Apps customer that has an application and OSN that you are trying to extend? If you could provide a little more context about what you are trying to achieve we will be able to advise the right route for you to take.
Thanks, Andy

BPM Tasklist Integration with ADF Application

Hi Experts,
We are using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.7 in our project and need to integrate with Oracle BPM 11g. We basically need to see the BPM task list as well as initiate a new task from ADF Application.
I have already searched the blogs and internet about the same. Below are some of them along with andrejus blogs.
Con-Fusion, Bugs, Facts & Workarounds: ADF-BPM Integration: Custom Worklist.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/user.1111/e15175/bpmug_ws_taskflows.htm#BPMUG20812
What I am looking for is step by step process including the things which needs to be done on Weblogic and domain side to integrate task list with adf application.
Thanks

It seems all of the instructions are there on your second link. When it comes to doing the weblogic portions there are links from there to another guide. I found the following two other links but your second link looks the closest to what I remember from an internal document that had those same steps.

Integration of Webcenter Discussion service with ADF Application

Hi,
I'm in the process of integrating the Webcenter Discussion service in an ADF Application.
I have completed the following steps.
1. Installed JDeveloper 11g and Webcenter 11g.
2. Configured the Discussion server which was installed along with Webcenter 11g.
3. Integrated Discussions with ADF Application by creating a Discussion connection.
The ADF Application is running fine. But the forums are displaying empty. In the Discussion server, I'm unable to create new users and there are no options to create forums and to create threads.
Help me in getting the below things,
1. Where we can create forums?
2. What settings we need to make for new forums and where to do those settings?
3. Are there any settings to create new users as i have only one default user 'weblogic'? When i create new users from Discussion server, I'm getting the message as 'Create users not supported'.

Hope you are using WC_Collaborations managed server to manage all discussion forum activites.
For you requirement ,you need to navigate the following url:
http://<server address>:<WC_collaboration port>/owc_discussions/admin
it will take you to jive forum admin page .where you can create new forums and new users also. For user and groups management ,visit -
http://docs.jivesoftware.com/latest/documentation/forums-admin-guide.html#users_groups
In your application , all users are coming from weblogic server's embedded LDAP or from external LDAP(if you configure so ). there also you can create user.
I have a doubt ,regarding your application.
Are you using only ADF application ,or webcenter application.
for displaying discussion forum ,you need webcenter discussion forums taskflows in your page .
If you use only ADF application,then you need to add all the forum corresponding libraries in your application otherwise need to consult with oracle support.

3rd party payment integration with ADF application

Hi ADF experts,
We have a requirement to integrate our ADF application with 3rd party payment gateway.
For this we have created 2 servlets(one to post data, and one for relay response) which will talk to payment gateway.
Since we are using servelts, we wont have access to bindings or any of ADF features. We manage the handshake between servlets and ADF app by passing data through session variables.
I am not happy with this solution, even though it works in our test environment. I would prefer a complete ADF soultion rather than using servelts/jsps.
Is there a standard way(either inbuilt in ADF or extensions) to integrate 3rd party gateway with ADF application which is safe and secure?
Jdev used: 11.1.1.1.5
Payment gateway used: authorize.net
thanks
-Venkat

You can access adf application module from a servlet. All you have to do its to setup a pagedef for the servlet.Check out my blog http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/jdev11-1-2-1-0-handling-imagesfiles-in-adf-part-3/ Which shows how to do this.
I'm not aware of standard integration to a payment service.

Please note that the forum space for that product is an archived space.
There has been no usable activity in it since Spring 2013.
That archive status and lack of activity suggests the OTN forum site is not expecting it to be continued as a resource.
I suggest you go that link for the software product, get ALL the documentation and every software component download, then consider spending time within the various Oracle Cloud spaces of the forums. Go read months of Cloud postings before you think about initiating your own post(s).

Jar file import problem with ADF application

Hi Everyone,
I am using Jdev 11g with integrated WLS. I have an ADF application and is trying to integrate JasperReport in it. I added the JasperReport JAR file in the project properties -> Libraries and Classpath, and checked it for "export" and "Deployed by Default'. I have my JasperReport codes in my managed bean
as follows
+public String cb1_action() {+
+try {+
+JasperDesign design = JRXmlLoader.load("C:/JDeveloper/mywork/ReentryApplication/ViewController/public_html/jasper/testReport.jrxml");+
+JasperReport report = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(design);+
+....+
+}+
+}+
I am able to compile the managed bean class successfully. However when I run the application, I got a stack of errors like this,
+[2009-10-08T11:31:59.910-04:00] [DefaultServer] [ERROR] [] [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.application] [tid: [ACTIVE].ExecuteThread: '4' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [userId: test123] [ecid: 0000IGollZuB5EirL4YBUA1AnVop00000L,0] [APP: ReentryApplication] java.lang.RuntimeException: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:[[+

+import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.*;+
+....+
It appears that the JAR file is not picked up at the runtime correctly. I tried a simple Main class with the same codes and JAR file added, it works fine. Does anyone know what I am missing within the ADF application?
Any helps would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Timo,
Thanks you for your prompt response.
1. I checked The following folder (I assume this is where it supposes to be). The JAR file is there.
C:\Documents and Settings\MISSP29\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.1.33.54.07\o.j2ee\drs\ReentryApplication\ReentryApplication-ViewController-webapp\WEB-INF\lib
2. I did not do anything about deployment descriptor. Since I run my application within JDev integrated WLS, I did not do anything about deployment setting. Do I need do something with deployment descriptor if I want to import additional JAR files here? With my experience with 10g, to add a JAR file within JDev, all I need to do is to add it through project properties ->libraries.
3. I agree with your absolute path comment. This is a test of how JasperReport works with ADF application. I will work it out later.
Thanks,

Integrating Oracle eBusiness Suite with banking services using Oracle SOA

Hi ,
I am working on a project for integrating Oracle eBusiness Suite with banking services using Oracle SOA. We have implemented Oracle SOA and trying to call bank's services using SOA.
The bank has provided its web services over http which accepts XML data as string through HTTPS post invocation and provides response accordingly in string XML Data.
For each service, specific format of request and response message has been provided.
I am trying to call their web services using HTTP binding adapter.
I would like to know whether my approach of calling bank's web service using HTTP binding adapter is correct or not.
Looking ahead for your valuable insight and advice.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Is the usage of B2B not applicable for this project ?

How to integrate Oracle Right Now with our application Calling Button and Chat Button Application is on WebCenter Sites

How to integrate Oracle Right Now with our application Calling Button and Chat Button. Application is on WebCenter Sites

Thanks handar. As per your instructions I have tried OAM authorization policy and its working fine. But we also wants to check the same with OES also. Currently I have configure weblogic SM and created domain. In same domain I have deployed my application also. I have created application, resources and authorization policy to authorize /myfolder/index.jsp if user has some specific role. Now if I try to access my web application using http://host:8001/CONTEXT/myfolder/index.jsp, it doesn't check if user is authorized or not. I guess my application is not related to the resource I have created. Please help me with this. Also, let me know if we can retirive logged in user from session and use for authorization.

Integrating Oracle Virtual Directory with Oracle Internet Directory

Hi Experts,
Just wanted to know suggestions from you.... what are the advantages we have by integrating Oracle Virtual Directory with Oracle Internet Directory.
Thanks
parker.

Hi Ken/Experts ,
Thanks for your response.
Still we need some more clarification on My Requirement that is, we are using ‘Oracle Single Sign On’ for my product and OID (Oracle Internet Directory) is enabled for this Single Sign On. Now we are planning to use OViD (Oracle Virtual Directory) for our Product so we integrated OID with OViD and now we are able to view the OID users in OViD. But Still My Product is using Single Sign On, which is enabled with OID only. Do we need to enable OViD (Oracle Virtual Directory) for Single Sign On? If yes please help us how to integrate (enable) OViD with Single Sign On.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

Can Oracle Application Express (APEX) be integrated with ADF applications?

Hi All,
Oracle Application Express (APEX) works on various supported databases. Can this tool be integrated with ADF for report publishing, in adf some of my result is coming from Business Components , so can these things be related to each other?
Please provide a suitable forum to ask this question if this question doesn't fir in ambit of this forum.
Thanks in advance.

There are a couple of things you can do - a lot depends on what your application needs. Since you ask this in the JDeveloper forum, I'm going to address getting to ApEx from ADF, not to ADF from ApEx - but some of the same possibilities apply.
Easiest thing to do is to jump into the ApEx application with a af:goLink or af:goCommand referencing the needed page's URL. By setting the target, you can control whether it opens in a new window or the same window. I'm not currently using ApEx, but I have a few reports written as PL/SQL Server Pages that I call exactly this way.
You can also open the ApEx pages in an af:inlineFrame - and it will look like it is inside your ADF application - but use inline frames with a little caution - they don't work perfectly in all browsers, notably Mobile Safari.
ApEx can't look inside your ADF BC objects, but of course, if your two applications are using the same database, you can communicate between them within the database. One possibility to look at is Advanced Queuing.
Some ApEx functionality can be executed by executing the underlying PL/SQL procedures - do a search in this forum for how to call PL/SQL from an ADF BC Application Module.

Browser back button not working with ADF Application integrated with SSO

I have integrated an adf application with Oracle SSO Authentication. Application is running fine.
Though, while navigating between pages, using browser back button , it is not redirecting the url properly
Should Redirect it to : http://<hostname>:<port>/<contex-root>/<servlet>/<id>
Presently Redirecting it to :http://<hostname>:<port>/<contex-root>
As, directory browsing is not allowed, there is Error 403--Forbidden .
Can anybody tell what changes needs to be made to make browser back button work.

In some of the documentation I have read, they have mentioned that using the back button in a browser doesn't work too well with any JSF type of application (not just ADF and Jdeveloper apps).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/web.1111/b31974/web_form.htm#CFHHJGJH
Instead, they suggest using buttons on the form.
There is a video on using navigation between forms that may be of value: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsPtmRID5XI&feature=plcp

Facing problem when Integration of configurator with ADF application

Hello,
Integration of conifigurator with custom application is not returing to "return_url" after clicking on Finish button in conifgurator.
We have developed a custom ADF application which integrates a configurator.
We have follwed the below url on developing this.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/newtojava/overview/ofm-ebs-blog-postings-096286.html
After completeing the configurator process, but the page is still showing as loading and not returning the return_url parameter mentioned in initialization parameters
So we are unable to get the FacesContext of calling application as it always returns null.
Please hlep on this, it is bit urgent.
Thank you

Hi pankaj,
I tried the approach you suggested, Still it's getting stuck at that point it self, Below is the simple servlet code which is the return_url,
package view;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class configurator extends HttpServlet {
private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=UTF-8";
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
public void service(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException {
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
System.out.println("Hi how are you");
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head><title>configurator</title></head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<p>The servlet has received a POST or GET. This is the reply.</p>");
out.println("top.location = \"http://localhost:7101//ConfigTest-ViewController-context-root//CheckoutTest.jsp");
out.println("</body></html>");
out.close();
Below is the view source of clock rotating page , where i can't find any thing from the above servlet,

Ant/Hudson integration with ADF application

Hi,
I'm currently investigating some Ant and Hudson integration for my project and I'd be interested to know how other people are handling such things as continuous integration, automated builds, release management etc with Oracle ADF applications.
I've had some success using ojdeploy from Ant, and I'm now able to run a Hudson project to at least keep track of whether the build (via ojdeploy) is successful or not. However, the ojdeploy tool is a bit of a black box and I'd like to add further steps to my build (such as unit test execution, code quality reports, etc). I guess I can replicate everything that ojdeploy is doing into my own Ant script and stop using ojdeploy (or just use it for EAR creation), but I'm wondering if there are any other helpful bits and pieces I should know about. Are there any JDeveloper/ADF specific ant tasks that I can add to Ant via taskdef and make use of?
Cheers!

japher,
I am not using ojdeploy because of [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=848196]a bug that I had found in the earlier 11g releases - I haven't checked to see if it's resolved in 11gR1 yet.
The sneak preview is, yes, it's quite possible to use ANT to build your ADF projects (the article goes into the gory details as to how) - a key thing is to put all of the ADF libraries into your version control system so that you can build the applications without having to install JDeveloper. Once you've done that, setting up Hudson (or TeamCity or Continuum, or any of the other build servers out there) is pretty straightforward. I like Hudson and TeamCity personally, because they involve little-to-no editing of configuration files and lots of point-and-click-at-the-pretty-web-UI. TeamCity isn't free (for anything other than a small configuration), so Hudson becomes a nice default.

Oracle 10g Lite with ADF/BC4J Application(Offline access in Mobile )

Hi All,
We have the following requirement from one of our client.
Customer Company has R12 Apps instance(which is having 10g Database APPSDB). The users will come in the morning
and connect to the System(NEWSYSTEM) to download their daily worksheet(resides in APPSDB) to their Mobile Devices
(Windows XP - http://www.keenzo.com/zoom.asp?zoom=3830134) and then disconnect from the system. The download of data
should start after login into their Mobile Device Custom Application So that only their worksheet will be downloaded
to their Mobile Device DB.
Then they will goto their fields and review their daily worksheet in the Mobile Device application(NEW APPLICATION)
in offline mode. And update in the application with their findings, which should be stored in the Mobile Device database(MOBILEDB).
In the evening the uses will come and connect to the system(NEWSYSTEM) and login into their Mobile Application and
start the upload process, then the updated data from their Mobile Database will be uploaded into APPSDB via the NEWSYSTEM.
I checked the links, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/lite/index.html and http://lite.us.oracle.com and I have
got some understanding about Oracle 10g Lite. For the above requirement we are proposing the NEWSYSTEM as Oracle 10g Lite Server
and the NEW APPLICATION as ADF/BC4J which can run in their Mobile Devices(work offline and then sync with DB).
I have the following questions.
1) The above proposing system is feasible?
2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
3) If I want to have the above system,
a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application
in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
I am new to Oracle 10g Lite, correct me if any of my understanding is wrong.
If you have any comments in the approach please add it.
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Kali.

1) The above proposing system is feasible?
perfecly feasible, and actually a reasonably standard use of oracle lite
2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
Actually two different questions here. The application code that runs on the client device can be written in any thing that will run on that type of device, and is capable of using the APIs to connect to the local database, and the other functionality like synchronisation. From the forum there look to be VB, C, java users out there (an i even believe if you wanted to, you could use forms). Main decision regarding the Platform for the application code development tends to be whatever you have the skills in.
In terms of the sync process only downloading a particular users worksheet, this would be defined when you define the snapshots of the database tables you want to download, rather than the sync login process itself.
For example - you have a table WORKSHEETS on the server that you want to download, it has a column EMP_NO which is the employee identifier. You would define the selection for the snapshot as
select * from WORKSHEETS where EMP_NO=:emp_no (note the bind variable)
when you then add users to the oracle lite application (actually the database), then you will have a parameter called EMP_NO to define with the employee number for that particular user, and this will be used automatically as the bind variable in the download.
NOTE subsetting in this way does not need to be direct, for example things like
select * from TASKS where id in (select task_id from user_tasks where emp_no=:emp_no) is perfectly valid
NOTE when reading the forum and documentation, be careful of the word application. There are actually two different things to be developed, both normally called 'application'
Within oracle lite you create an application with publication items, scripts, sequences etc. and then subscribe your users to this application. The application in this context is actually the database and synchronisation management ONLY (you can include files and code for download)
The second application is your runtime code that has a user interface, functionality, processing and validation. This is written in some development platform, and accesses the database created above for select, insert, update etc.
3) If I want to have the above system,
a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
YES this goes on the app server and installs a repository schema MOBILEADMIN within your database
b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
YES - once the server is set up, this is downloaded and set up by accessing the <server url>/webtogo/setup
c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
steps in outline are
1) install server
2) develop the oracle lite application (ie: database) and publish this to the mobile server (can use the development kit or java APIs for these two steps
3) add a user with the relevant subsetting parameters
4) set up oracle lite win32 client on the laptop from the server download
5) synchronise using the msync utility on the client to create the databases and odbc entries
6) develop your application code using the client database
7) during development, then changes to database structure would be via changes and re-publish of the oracle lite application, followed by a sync to update the client database
8) once all development is complete, the runtime application code can be bundled up into the oracle lite application if you want, and then the initial sync for live users will download the database and application code.
4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
You can set up a standalone server on the laptop, but better to do this on a development app server so you can use the main server development database as the data souce for the snapshot definitions (pretty easy install). there are conflicts if you try and put the oracle lite client and the mobile development kit on the same machine, but if you are familiar with java, the API development is fairly straightforward to use (i have developed applications in this, and i know only the basics of java) you do not need the MDK
Basic for a POC i would say is to
1) set up mobile server on development
2) define a simple oracle ite application on two server tables. one has select * from table, and the other has select * from table where .... including bind variable. at this stage use complete refresh as the mode for simplicity
3) publish the application, create user and define the subsetting variable
4) set up mobile client and synchronise user. use the msql utility to interrogate the database and check the content, and do some updates 9standards SQL syntax)
5) create simple appliaction code to conect to and read the database on the client
6) do a sync after the updates above and check they appear in the server
The above should be reasonably quick and proves
a) ability to define the data you want to be sent to the users
b) ability to create an app to manage the database running on the client device in you preferred software platform
c) data download and upload
after this basic POC, you can extend into defining fast refreshes to improve the efficiency of the sync process, managing the MGP process, developing a more comprehensive database and application etc. If you have complex joins between server table, you may also want to look at creating views to denormalise data and use these as the basis for the snapshots
