KURSINHALT
Oracle WebCenter provides an open and extensible solution that allows users to interact with enterprise-ready social computing services such as wikis, blogs, RSS, recent activities, instant messaging, document and content management, social networking, tagging, Business Process Execution Language workflows, and analytics, directly in the context of a portal or an application. Oracle WebCenter Framework is an Oracle JDeveloper design-time extension that breaks down boundaries between Web-based portals and enterprise applications. It also provides the runtime portal and Web 2.0 framework on which all Oracle WebCenter technology runs. Developers do not need to decide ahead of time whether they are building a portal or an application; with Oracle WebCenter Framework, any application can be a portal and any portal can be an application. Oracle WebCenter also includes Composer and Business Directory --powerful role-based capabilities that enable business users to seamlessly leverage many corporate information resources within the enterprise portal with only a few simple clicks. Together, these tools and services empower end users and IT to build and deploy next-generation collaborative applications and portals that take advantage of the creativity and intellect of every user, and improve the productivity of key internal and external business processes.
This course introduces you to Oracle WebCenter's components and teaches you how to add these components to any application to create content-rich, collaborative, customizable applications. In this course you start with an ADF application, then enhance it with features from WebCenter Framework, Composer, and Services. Using Oracle JDeveloper with the embedded WebCenter Framework extension, you learn how to add portlets, documents, discussion forums, tags, links, and search to the existing application. You also learn how to enable users to compose and edit WebCenter application pages at run time. Solving the practices results in a small, concise, feature-rich WebCenter application.
Learn to:

• Use predefined WebCenter task flows to add documents, discussions, tags, links and searching to custom application
• Wire traditional ADF components, WebCenter task flows and portlets to display correlated information
• Use the JCR data control to access documents stored in a content repository
• Build and manage customizable and personalizable application pages
• Consume standard-based portlets in a WebCenter application
• Describe the main functionality of WebCenter Spaces
