Jdeveloper with VPD / FGAC possible ? i.e. oracle portal tables and views

Question

I am trying to create some view objects based on oracle portals views and tables. However I always get the following error.
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1407
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1216
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1469
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_API", line 152
This is because I have not set the context using plsql. i.e
portal.wwctx_api_private.set_context(p_user_name => 'PORTAL',p_update_flat => true);
Is there a way of using portal views in jdevloper and setting the context first. I am thinking the portal database uses vpd, fine grained access control.

Hi,
using ADF BC you can override the prepare session method on the AM to set the context.
public void prepareSession(Session _session)
super.prepareSession(_session);
// some PLSQL like
String appContext = "Begin ctxhrpckg.set_userinfo('"+getApplicationUserName()+"'); END;";
java.sql.CallableStatement st= null;
try
st = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(appContext,0);
st.execute();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException s)
throw new oracle.jbo.JboException(s);
} finally
try
if (st!= null)
st.close();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException s2){}
