This chapter provides an overview of resources available for customizing Oracle WebCenter.
Oracle WebCenter components are designed to allow you to create a personalized experience for organizations, groups, and users. The Oracle WebCenter Interaction Development Kit (IDK) allows you to customize every aspect of the portal.
For a details on the components of the Oracle WebCenter architecture, see the section “Oracle WebCenter Architecture” in the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Deployment Overview Guide.
This chapter contains the following sections:
The Oracle Professional Services organization is available to develop these customizations and more. For details on the services available from Oracle, contact your Oracle representative.
The Oracle WebCenter Interaction portal provides a framework for applications that allows you to customize the portal look and feel and functionality. These basic customizations require no custom Java or C# code.
For details on how to configure and customize the portal UI, see Customizing the User Interface, and the Oracle WebCenter Interaction UI Customization Guide.
Each portal page is composed of multiple portlets. You can build portlets with any language or technology that can return HTML or XML over HTTP.
Oracle provides the IDK development environment for developing portlets in Java and .NET. For details on the IDK, see the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Development Kit documentation.
For details on developing portlets, see the Oracle WebCenter Portlet Toolkit for .NET Development Guide.
Oracle provides support for WSRP 1.0 portlets through the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer. For details on the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer, see its documentation.
Adaptive Portlets allow the creation of a coordinated portal page comprised of cross-platform services that represent multiple applications. Adaptive Tags are a collection of XML tags that you can include in any gatewayed portal page. The portal gateway transforms the tags to include navigation, UI components, data objects, and other dynamic information in the portal page.
For details on Adaptive Portlets and Adaptive Tags see the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Web Service Development Guide and the Oracle WebCenter Interaction UI Customization Guide.
Content services index in the portal content from back-end sources, allowing the back-end sources to be searched using the portal search service. In addition to the content services provided with Oracle WebCenter Interaction, you can create custom content services.
For details on developing content services, see the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Web Service Development Guide.
Identity services allow the integration of established repositories of user information into the portal. You can import users, groups, and group membership configuration. In addition to the integration services provided with Oracle WebCenter Interaction, you can create custom identity services.
For details on developing identity services, see the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Web Service Development Guide.
