500 Internal Server Error while deploying Web Center App

We have created a simple Web Center application in JDeveloper (10.1.3.2.0). Its runs fine when deployed on Stand Alone OC4J. We tried to deploy the same target .EAR (After following the steps mentioned in Oracle Web Center Documentation) on Oracle Web Center Suite 10.1.3.2.0 (Pre-Configured OC4J_WebCenter ). We ran the Pre Deployment to transform the Generic .EAR to Target .EAR with MDS path.
We got the following exception when testing index page (i.e. index.jspx)
http://172.10.130.37/ray/faces/index.jspx
Exception:
oracle.mds.exception.MDSRuntimeException: No metadata found for metadata object "/ViewController/public_html/index.jspx"
No metadata found for metadata object "/ViewController/public_html/index.jspx"
Here's the[b] log of Application:
JspServlet: unable to dispatch to requested page: Exception:oracle.mds.exception.MDSRuntimeException: No
metadata found for metadata object "/ViewController/public_html/index.jspx"
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

2. copy <EAR>/adf/META-INF/connections.xml to <WAR>/META-INF/
3. Retart your OC4J instance, and test your page again.This did not solve my similar issue. What did solve my issue was the following:
After deployment, I changed the metadata-store metadata-path property value found in <WAR>\WEB-INF\adf-config.xml to the MDS path specified in Predeployment, where <WAR> is the deployment location.
My question is, why does the pre/deployment process not update this value correctly?

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
I installed the latest WLServer from

Is this is the right one?

How To associate a default Template with an asset in web center sites 11g

In previous versions we could associate a template with an asset, in the edit mode of the asset and that template would be used to render that asset when previewed.
How can we do that in Web center Sites 11 g so that we don't have to select it again and again.

You should still have that option, in the Contributor UI when you edit or inspect an asset beneath the asset name is a drop-down box to select the default Template for this asset.

May be it is expecting wlserver_10.3 directory.
Can you try giving a link to one directory above wlserver_10.3 OR the complete path to wlserver_10.3 directory.
One of this should make the upgrade successful.

Web Center app with ADF Security - login problem

I have a custome Oracle Web Center app.
I have a page.html with an embedded login form posting to j_security_check. I've configured the ADF security policies to redirect to a JSPX on successful login.
When I try the correct username/password, I get redirected not to the page I defined in ADF, but to the root page http://127.0.0.1:7101/MyApp-ViewController-context-root/
and i get
Error 403--Forbidden
I've checked the weblogic.xml as per http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2009/12/solving-error-403-forbidden-in-adf.html, all the required entries are there.
This works fine if i use a Login link with
destination="#{'/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx'} "
which redirects to the default login.html and then to the right page. I've copied the form from the default login.html into my master HTML page.
Hope my question is clear. Any suggestions why it is going to the wrong URL after login.
Is there anything specific I should see in the jazn-data.xml or web.xml regarding the post-login URL since i cant see that in either.
P.S. Have been advised to try here when I originally asked this in the WebCenter forum. Web Center app ADF Security - login problem
Edited by: new_to_webcenter on 18-Jan-2011 05:25

Thanks for your response Frank.
The web.xml has
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>adfAuthentication</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/adfAuthentication</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>valid-users</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.html</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/error.html</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
When configuring ADF Security via JDev , I chose "Redirect upon successful authentication" to the Welcome Page
"/faces/postLogin.jspx"
this then adds into web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>adfAuthentication</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.adf.share.security.authentication.AuthenticationServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>success_url</param-name>
<param-value>/faces/postLogin.jspx</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
So the sequence which works is:
Login via the '/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx' and this redirects to login.html (OOTB form which posts to j_security_check) and then to the postLogin.jspx
I'm trying to do away with a Login link, and trying the simple login form embedded in my page alongwith other content.
So should the form be posting to j_security_check directly or to the adfAuthentication ?

Is there anything specific I should see in the jazn-data.xml or web.xml regarding the post-login URL since i cant see that in either.

Ah so when you try to access a JSPX page it works but when you try to access an HTML page it does not work?
I can't see what the problem could be if it works for a JSPX but not for an HTML. Perhaps something with the filters in the web.xml
Maybe you should ask this at the ADF forum: JDeveloper and ADF
The guys there have way more understanding about this stuff than here.

Proxy error while connecting Web Center Portal to Oracle SES

Drag-and-drop in Web Center 11g

I'm running the Avitek sample portal on JDev 11.1.1.3 with Web Center on integrated WLS.
Is it possible to enable drag-and-drop of portlets within the page layout - by an end-user?
I understood this was a feature available in Web Center and not in WLPortal - so has anyone got this working?

Webcenter supports drag and dropping of portlets out of the box. You don't need to do anything special to enable drag and drop of portlets.
The only requirement there is, is that users are logged in and they have granted personlization rights.

Oracle Web Center Suite and Oracle Portal

1)What is Oracle Portal and why it is used?
2)What is Oracle Web Center Suite and why it is used?
3)What is the difference between Oracle Portal and Oracle Web Center Suite?

1) Oracle Portal is the Portal product that was deployed together with the application server before weblogic server. It is still used a lot for corporate intra and extranets. It is mosly used for intranets and extranets. When you bought the licence for the application server you automaticly had the licence for Oracle Portal. That's why it is so popular.
Oracle portal is not realy standard based. You mostly will create portlets with PL/SQL or PDK and not realy use the JSR168 standard.
No with Oracle Portal 11g you can consume JSR168 portlets using WSRP.
2) Oracle WebCenter suite is the next strategical choose of oracle in portal software. Webcenter is an enterprise 2.0 portal environment while oracle portal is more web 1.5 and has limited web 2.0 stuff. Oracle Portal comes with a complete UI for the user to use to create websites and groups but webcenter is more a framework to incoorporate enterprise 2.0 features into your own fusion web application. Webcenter suite comes with Webcenter spaces. THis is a complete UI to create collaborative websites.
Webcenter framework is a powerfull framework to create complete enterprise 2.0 sites.
3) The difference... Oracle Portal is an old product and will not be developt anymore. I've heard portal 11g will be the last version meaning support will stop at 2014. Webcenter is a new product to create state of the art enterprise 2.0 websites.
Oracle portals is not build on standard and is not realy standardbased meaning is you develop portlets for portal you will not be able to use them in other portals.
Webcenter on the other hand is completly standard based. It is JSR168 compliant and in the near future it will also support JSR286.
Oracle portal is PL/SQL based while webcenter is completly java based, based upon the ADF framework from oracle.
Because WebCenter is based upon the ADF framework you can use the complete ADF framework for your application. For example consuming webservices are very easy in webcenter. If you are using a service oriented architecture you will have lots and lots of work to integrate it with portal. With webcenter this is peace of cake.
Hope this helps you :)
If you have other questions, just let us know.

How to subscribe to a group space in Oracle Web Center application

Hi All,
I am a newbie to Oracle Web Center and playing in and around with the Oracle WebCenter Spaces..
At the time of creation of Group Space in Oracle WebCenter Application, there are two options :
1. Adding the members by the owner of the group space
2. Opening the open group space which allows others users can join by searching the specified GroupSpace and joining into that group space.
If i try to do like this, I was getting this error :
WCS#2010.07.21.15.05.39: Unable to send subscription notification to moderator(s). The reason is : Can not retrieve group space workflow configuration. Please contact administrator.
Can anyone please help me to solve this out..
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sandeep
Edited by: user10681665 on 22-Jul-2010 02:13

Sandeep,
To get this notifications to work, you need to setup BPEL and connect WebCenter to your BPEL server.

Web Center and Document Services

I have a WebCenter question for which I was hoping to get some help.
I’m developing a ADF application where I’m adding WebCenter document services to look at a local file system as the content store. Everything works fine except if the file is a movie or audio file. When this happens I get a variety of results depending on the browser and device.
When I browse to a file and I hit the download link for the file, if it is music or video it only works on Firefox and Safari. It doesn’t work on IE at all. I just get a bunch of gibberish on the screen. It also doesn’t work from any mobile device browser (IPad, IPhone, Droid).
Again, this is only when the file is music or video. Everything else is working and it works totally fine (even for music files) on Firefox and Safari.
What do you think. Is there an official list of supported file types for the Document Services on WebCenter?
--Mike

I didn't write the code for the download link. I'm using the "Document Manager" service which is an out-of-the-box ADF Task flow included when you download the web-center services.

Ok, Figured out the issue,
Values in the OAF_AXF_CMD_PARAMS table was not matching with the actual attributes on the OAF pages. The four values
Entity Name, Primary Key, View Object and Attributes are to be entered for each page where we are intending to have the MA button.
