Authoring WSRP Portlets Using the Oracle WebCenter Portlet
Toolkit for .NET
The Oracle WebCenter Portlet Toolkit for .NET provides
ease-of-use features for authoring WSRP portlets. The .NET Portlet
Toolkit integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 providing pre-configured
project templates, a portlet item template, and a class library that
provides easy access to portlet properties, user properties, user
profile information, registration information, and more.
This section contains the following topics:
WSRP (Web Services for Remote Portlets) is a W3C standard
for consuming one or more remote markup "Producers" from a markup
"Consumer". The Oracle WebCenter Application Accelerator for .NET
includes a WSRP Producer for ASP.NET that can be used to produce portlets
for any WSRP Consumer, including Oracle WebLogic Portal.
- Creating a WSRP Portlet Using the .NET Portlet ToolkitTo create a new WSRP portlet, use the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 templates provided with the Oracle WebCenter Portlet Toolkit for .NET. The templates are pre-configured to include references to required assemblies, including the .NET Portlet API.
- Accessing User Profile Information Using the .NET Portlet ToolkitTo access user profile information using the .NET Portlet Toolkit, add the properties to the Web.config file and reference them by name in the portlet page.
- Implementing WSRP Portlet Modes Using the .NET Portlet ToolkitTo access or update portlet mode for a WSRP portlet, use the PortletInfo.Mode property in the .NET Portlet API.
- Implementing WSRP Portlet Window States Using the .NET Portlet ToolkitTo access or update window state for a WSRP portlet, use the PortletInfo.WindowState property in the .NET Portlet API.
- Accessing WSRP Consumer Registration Information Using the .NET Portlet ToolkitTo identify a specific WSRP Consumer and access registration information, use the RegistrationInfo class in the .NET Portlet API.
- Localizing WSRP Portlet MetadataTo provide localized portlet metadata, configure the WSRP Producer to use localized strings and provide the necessary resource files.
- Logging .NET Application Accelerator ActivityTo view logs of .NET Application Accelerator activity, use Oracle WebCenter Interaction Logging Spy.
- Consuming a .NET WSRP Portlet in Oracle WebLogic PortalTo consume remote portlet resources in Oracle WebLogic Portal, you must create a Remote Portlet using either the IDE tools (described here) or Oracle WebLogic Portal online administration tools. Once created, Remote Portlets (.portlet files) can be added to a portal description (.portal file).
- Configuring WSRP Producer Service URLs (WSRPService.wsdl)To update global WSRP Producer configuration settings after installation, update the WSRPService.wsdl file. Additional configuration of the WSRP Producer web site can be made via IIS administrative tools.
