A Files for WebCenter Applications

This appendix provides reference information about the files that are created and modified as you build up your WebCenter application. This appendix includes the following sections:

For a complete reference for the Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) metadata files that you create in your data model and user interface projects, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.

To learn more how files are affected by major actions, see Section 39.2.2, "Developer Actions Affecting Metadata Files."

A.1 About Files

When you use Oracle WebCenter Framework to build applications and components, several files are created as you perform such actions as building and consuming portlets. As you work with your application, you may find it useful to know a little bit about each of these files and how they relate to your application. You can group the files affected by the Oracle WebCenter Framework into two broad categories as follows:

  • Files that are common to any Oracle ADF application, such as web.xml. For these files, it is useful to know what specific additions and changes are made for WebCenter applications. Those modifications are described in this appendix, but for more complete descriptions of these common files, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.

  • Files that are unique to WebCenter applications, such as portlet.xml. For these files, it is useful to know what the file is for and what it contains. These files are described completely in this appendix.

A.2 Files Overview

The files that are created and modified are closely associated with the objects that you create as part of your WebCenter application. Hence, the easiest way to discuss these files is by object as follows:

A.3 Files Related to JSR 168 Portlets

This section includes the following subsections that describe the files that are created for you when you build a JSR 168 portlet:

A.3.1 portlet.xml

portlet.xml defines the characteristics of your JSR 168 portlet. For complete details on portlet.xml, you should see the Java Portlet Specification available at:

http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=168

Example A-1 provides a sample fragment from a portlet.xml file. Note that this example does not include all of the available elements of portlet.xml.

Example A-1 portlet.xml Sample

<portlet>
   <description>JSR 168 map portlet </description>
   <portlet-name>portlet1</portlet-name>
   <display-name>Map Portlet</display-name>
   <portlet-class>jsrportlet.MapPortlet</portlet-class>
   <expiration-cache>0</expiration-cache>
   <supports>
      <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
      <portlet-mode>edit</portlet-mode>
   </supports>
   <supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
   <resource-bundle>jsr.resource.MapPortletBundle</resource-bundle>
   <portlet-preferences>
      <preference>
         <name>portletTitle</name>
      </preference>
   </portlet-preferences>
   <security-role-ref>
      <role-name>viewer</role-name>
   </security-role-ref>
</portlet>

For JSR 168 portlets, the portlet.xml file contains all information related to portlets and their settings. Note that not all of these settings are used in the previous sample.

  • <description> describes the portlet, providing details to the end user.

  • <portlet-name> uniquely identifies the portlet within the portlet application.

  • <display-name> is used when presenting a list of available portlets to the user.

  • <portlet-class> contains the fully qualified class name of the class implementing the javax.portlet.Portlet interface or extending the GenericPortlet abstract class that becomes the entry point for the portlet logic. The portlet container uses this class when it invokes the portlet life cycle methods.

  • <supports> provides information about the portlet modes supported for each content type.

  • <title> is the static title of the portlet, usually displayed in the portlet decoration on the portlet window.

  • <short-title> is the title that is used on devices (such as mobile phones) that have limited display capabilities.

  • <keywords> are used by applications that offer search capabilities for their users.

  • <security-role-ref> maps a role name to a security role in web.xml. The list of roles in web.xml that the <security-role-ref> maps to is published to the consumer as the producer's user categories. In web.xml, <security-role> appears similar to the following:

    <security-role>
       <description>Viewer role</description>
       <role-name>viewer</role-name>
    </security-role>
    

A.3.2 oracle-portlet.xml

oracle-portlet.xml is an Oracle extension of portlet.xml to support WSRP 2.0 features. For example, a portlet's navigational parameters (a WSRP 2.0 feature) are defined in oracle-portlet.xml. In the future, when JSR 286 becomes available, this extension file will no longer be necessary.

The oracle-portlet.xml file is generated when:

This section includes the following subsections:

A.3.2.1 oracle-portlet.xml Syntax

The top-level element of oracle-portlet.xml is <portlet-app-extension>.

<portlet-app-extension 
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/portlet/oracle-portlet-app"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/portlet/oracle-portlet-app">

The <portlet-app-extension> element must include the child elements shown in Example A-2.

Example A-2 oracle-portlet.xml Element Hierarchy

<portlet-app-extension>
  <allow-export> ... </allow-export>
  <allow-import> ... </allow-import>
 <portlet-extension>
   <portlet-name> ... </portlet-name>
     <navigation-parameters>
       <name> ... </name>
       <type> ... </type>
       <label> ... </label>
       <hint> ... </hint>
       <usage> ... </usage>
       <aliases> ... </aliases>
     </navigation-parameters>
    <portlet-id> ... </portlet-id>
    <allow-export> ... </allow-export>
    <allow-import> ... </allow-import>
    <strict-authentication>...</strict-authentication>
    <hide-portlet> ... </hide-portlet>
    <require-iframe> ... </require-iframe>
    <minimum-wsrp-version>2</minimum-wsrp-version>
 </portlet-extension>
</portlet-app-extension>

The child elements have the following usages:

  • <portlet-app-extension> indicates the start and end of the portlet application definition.

  • <portlet-extension> indicates the start and end of a portlet definition.

  • <portlet-name> identifies the portlet to which the extensions that follow it apply.

  • <navigation parameters> defines the parameters for the previously identified portlet.

  • <name> is the name of the navigation parameter. This name must be unique within the portlet.

  • <type> is the type of the navigation parameter. Currently the only supported type is string.

  • <label> is the label for the navigation parameter that end users see on the customization and personalization pages of the portlet.

  • <hint> is currently not used.

  • <usage> is currently not used.

  • <aliases> is currently not used.

  • <portlet-id> is the unique identifier of the portlet.

  • <allow-export> is a flag that indicates whether the portlet supports the export of its customization data. This value can be true or false.

  • <allow-import> is a flag that indicates whether the portlet supports the import of its customization data. This value can be true or false.

  • <strict-authentication> is a flag to be set at the producer level. This value can be true or false. If this flag is set to true, it indicates that the portlet container must expose the current user and role membership information supplied by the local server. If false, the user and role membership information suggested by the consumer is used instead.

  • <hide-portlet> is a flag that indicates that the portlet must not appear under the producer connection in the Application Resources panel or Resource Palette.

    Only <require-iframe> and <minimum-wsrp-version> tags can appear after this tag. If any other tag is added after the <hide-portlet> tag, then deployment may fail.

  • <require-iframe> is used to indicate to the Oracle ADF Faces portlet consumer that the portlet must be rendered in an inline frame (IFRAME).

  • <minimum-wsrp-version> is the minimum WSRP version supported. The minimum version is 2.

A.3.2.2 oracle-portlet.xml Sample With Navigation Parameters

Example A-3 provides a sample of oracle-portlet.xml with two portlets with three navigational parameters each.

</portlet-extension>

A.3.3 oracle-portlet-tags.jar

oracle-portlet-tags.jar is the Oracle implementation of the JSP tag library defined by the Java Portlet Specification.

A.3.4 portlet_mode.jsp

Depending on the implementation style of the portlet mode that you choose to create for your portlet, a corresponding JSP file is created in your portlet_name\html directory to define that mode. For example, if you choose to have View and Edit modes for your portlet, then you need view.jsp and edit.jsp in your portlet_name\html directory. For JSR 168 portlets, you can have the following JSP files for your portlet modes:

  • about.jsp

  • config.jsp

  • edit_defaults.jsp

  • edit.jsp

  • help.jsp

  • preview.jsp

  • print.jsp

  • view.jsp

For further explanation of portlet modes, see Section 31.2.5.1, "Guidelines for Portlet Modes."

A.3.5 portlet_name.java

portlet_name.java is the class that acts as the entry point for the portlet logic. This class must implement the javax.portlet.Portlet interface or extend the GenericPortlet abstract class. The portlet container uses this class when it invokes the portlet lifecycle methods.

A.3.6 portlet_nameBundle.jar

portlet_nameBundle.jar is a resource bundle class, containing translation of the strings used by the portlet.

A.3.7 web.xml

web.xml is a Java EE standard descriptor that contains details about Web applications. For more information about web.xml, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.

A.3.8 connections.xml

connections.xml contains WSRP producer connection information. Example A-4 shows a sample connections.xml file.

Example A-4 connections.xml

A.4 Files Related to PDK-Java Portlets

This section includes the following subsections that describe the files that are created for you when you build a PDK-Java portlet:

A.4.1 producer_name.properties

producer_name.properties specifies deployment details about the producer, such as the location of the provider.xml file. For example, this file is used if the registration URL to the PDK-Java samples is of the form:

http://host:port/jpdk/provider/samples

or:

http://host:port/jpdk/provider

where the service ID field contains samples. See also Section A.4.2, "_default.properties".

A.4.2 _default.properties

_default.properties specifies deployment details about the producer, such as the location of the provider.xml file. For example, this file is used if the registration URL to the PDK-Java samples is of the form:

http://host:port/jpdk/provider

Note that the producer name is not supplied here so it has to default. See also Section A.4.1, "producer_name.properties".

A.4.3 index.jsp

index.jsp serves as a convenient starting point when testing PDK-Java producers from Oracle JDeveloper. This file lists all of the producers available in the application.

A.4.4 portlet_name_modePage.jsp

Depending on the implementation style of the portlet mode that you choose to create for your portlet, a corresponding JSP file is created in your \htdocs\portlet_name directory to define that mode. For example, if you choose to have View and Edit modes for a portlet named portletOne, then you need portletOneShowPage.jsp and PortletOneEditPage.jsp in your \htdocs\portletOne directory. For PDK-Java portlets, you can have the following JSP files for your portlet modes:

  • portlet_nameAboutPage.jsp

  • portlet_nameEditDefaultsPage.jsp

  • portlet_nameEditPage.jsp

  • portlet_nameHelpPage.jsp

  • portlet_nameShowDetailsPage.jsp

  • portlet_nameShowPage.jsp

For further explanation of portlet modes, see Section 31.2.5.1, "Guidelines for Portlet Modes".

A.4.5 provider.xml

provider.xml is the definition file for your PDK-Java producer.

Note:

PDK-Java producers were formerly referred to as providers.

This section includes the following subsections:

A.4.5.1 provider.xml Syntax

For more information about the elements and syntax of provider.xml, see the Provider Definition Extensible Markup Language (XML) Tag Reference v2 on the Oracle Technology Network.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/javadoc/xml_tag_reference_v2.html

A.4.6 web.xml

web.xml is a Java EE standard descriptor that contains details about Web applications. For more information about web.xml, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.

A.4.7 connections.xml

connections.xml contains PDK-Java producer connection information. Example A-4 shows a sample connections.xml file.

A.5 Files Related to Pages

This section includes the following subsections that describe the files that are created or modified when you create or modify pages:

A.5.1 adf-config.xml

The adf-config.xml file is an extensible configuration file used by any ADF component. This file is used by the various WebCenter Services, including pages, portlets, and all the services such as search, worklist, forums, and so on, to set configuration information. This file, with connections.xml, contains the configuration information required for most of the services to function.

Table A-1 describes the child elements of <adf-portlet-config>. The init-param names in the first column correspond to the names of the servlet init-params used when the portlet client is accessed through the Web adapter.

Table A-1 Child Elements of adf-portlet-config

Element (init-param) Description Default Value
parallelPoolSize (parallel.pool.size)

The number of threads to use for parallel execution of tasks.

10

parallelQueueSize (parallel.queue.size)

The size of the queue of tasks waiting for parallel execution. Tasks are rejected when the queue size is exceeded.

20

defaultTimeout (default.timeout)

The default timeout period in seconds for requests made to producers. This value is used when a timeout is not defined at the portlet or producer level.

10

minimumTimeout (minimum.timeout)

The minimum timeout period in seconds for requests made to producers. This value is used to impose a lower limit on timeout periods specified by portlets or producers.

0.1

maximumTimeout (maximum.timeout)

The maximum timeout period in seconds for requests made to producers. This value is used to impose an upper limit on timeout periods specified by portlets or producers.

60

resourceProxyPath (resource.proxy.path)

The base path of the resource proxy servlet, relative to the context root of the application. Used to construct links to the resource servlet within portlet markup.

/resourceproxy

supportedLocales (supported.locales)

The set of supported locales defined using strings of the form:

language[_country[_variant]]

Commented out by default. You should uncomment it if you have multiple locales. See Example A-6.

portletTechnologies (portlet.technologies)

The set of portlet technologies supported by the client defined by the fully qualified names of classes that implement the PortletTechnologyConfig interface.

{o.p.c.ci.web.WebPortletTechnologyConfig, o.p.c.ci.wsrp.WSRPPortletTechnologyConfig}

cacheSettings (cache.*)

Cache configuration information. Used to enable or disable the cache, define its maximum size and impose limits on the amount of space available for different users and subscribers.

The cache is enabled and no size restrictions are imposed.


<adf-portlet-config> element Sample

Example A-6 illustrates the usage of the <adf-portlet-config> element.

A.5.6 web.xml

web.xml is a Java EE standard descriptor that contains details about Web applications. For more information about web.xml, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.

A.5.7 mds Subdirectory

When you deploy a WebCenter application, an mds subdirectory is created in your project directory. This subdirectory contains other subdirectories and metadata files, such as portlet customizations and personalizations.

A.5.8 wsdl Subdirectory

When you consume JSR 168 portlets in an application, a wsdl subdirectory is created in the WEB-INF directory. The files in this subdirectory are internal files created for portlets from a WSRP producer.

A.6 Files Related to Security

This section includes the following subsections that describe the files that are created or modified when you implement or modify security:

A.6.1 jazn-data.xml

When you implement or modify security for your application, the jazn-data.xml file is created or modified.

The jazn-data.xml file is used to facilitate the deployment of realm and policy information for your application. In your development environment (JDeveloper), jazn-data.xml is located in your application's workspacedir/src/META-INF directory. After deployment, the contents of this file are merged in domain-level identity or policy stores. This file contains the policies that are created at design time, and is merged at deployment by JpsApplicationLifecycleListener into the system-jazn-data.xml file (or appropriately configured policy store) for the deployment target.

When you migrate security information with JpsApplicationLifecycleListener, the jazn-data.xml file can be used as the source file for the migration. For more information about migrating roles, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.

jazn-data.xml Sample

Example A-8 provides a sample jazn-data.xml file.

A.6.2 cwallet.sso

cwallet.sso contains external application credentials, if any, and the connection's secure data such as database password. The cwallet.sso file is located in the workspaceroot/src/META-INF directory.

A.6.3 jps-config.xml

jps-config.xml is located at workspaceroot/src/META-INF. The jps-config.xml file packaged with the application is used only at design time. At runtime, the configurations stored in the domain-level jps-config.xml file become functional.

jps-config.xml configures OPSS services. For more information on the element hierarchy and attributes of jps-config.xml, see the appendix "OPSS Configuration File Reference" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide.

The recommendation for migration is to create a new jps-config.xml file with the source and destination contexts defined as required by the migration commands. For details on migrating identities, see the section "Migrating Identities Manually" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide.

The policy store is migrated in the following ways: entire policy store, application-specific policies, and global polices. For details, see the section "Migrating Policies Manually" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide.

The credential store is migrated in the following ways: entire credential store or application-specific credentials. When migrating application-specific credentials, ensure that srcFolder and targetFolder are the same. srcFolder and targetFolder can be determined from appUID in the adf-config.xml file, see Example A-9. For details, see the section "Migrating Credentials Manually" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide.

Example A-9 appUID in the adf-config.xml file

  <adf:adf-properties-child xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/config/properties">
    <adf-property name="adfAppUID" value="Application1-1167"/>
  </adf:adf-properties-child>

A.6.4 adf-config.xml

Security configurations are stored in adf-config.xml. This file is located at workspaceroot/.adf/META-INF/adf-config.xml. See Example A-10.

Example A-10 adf-config.xml

<adf-security-child xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/security/config">
        <JaasSecurityContext                     initialContextFactoryClass="oracle.adf.share.security.JAASInitialContextFactory"
jaasProviderClass="oracle.adf.share.security.providers.jps.JpsSecurityContext"
             authorizationEnforce="true"
             authenticationRequire="true"/>
    <CredentialStoreContext                  credentialStoreClass="oracle.adf.share.security.providers.jps.CSFCredentialStore"
             credentialStoreLocation="../../src/META-INF/jps-config.xml"/>
</adf-security-child>

Note:

The credentialStoreLocation entry in the sample is valid at design time only.
