About the Oracle WebCenter Application Accelerator for .NET
The Oracle WebCenter Application Accelerator for .NET is
a collection of libraries and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 integration
features that simplify authoring of ASP.NET 2.0 portlets for Oracle
WebCenter Interaction and Oracle WebLogic Portal.
Each of the components in the Oracle WebCenter Application Accelerator
for .NET serves a specific purpose:
- .NET WSRP Producer: Surfaces ASP.NET web applications to
WSRP (Web Services for Remote Portlets) Consumers by transforming
WSRP requests into HTTP requests, and rewriting HTTP response content
for the WSRP Consumer. Requires use of the Oracle WebCenter .NET Portlet
API.
- .NET Portlet Toolkit: Provides a set of project templates,
file templates and a class library used to create portlets in Visual
Studio. Includes separate templates and classes for WSRP (Oracle WebLogic
Portal) and Oracle WebCenter Interaction portlet development.
- Web Control Consumer (WCC): Transforms output rendered
by Oracle WebCenter Interaction portlets into pages that can be consumed
in a portal environment (Oracle WebCenter Interaction only). This
component is not required for WSRP portlets.
A different set of components is required for each portal configuration,
as shown below.
To build and deploy Oracle WebCenter Interaction portlets, the following components are required. In addition, the Image Service
Files included in the .NET Portlet Toolkit must be installed on the
portal Image Service.
To build and deploy WSRP portlets in Oracle WebLogic Portal, the following components are required. In addition, the Microsoft
Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 2.0 must be installed on the server
that hosts the WSRP Producer and ASP.NET web sites.
To build and deploy
WSRP portlets in Oracle WebCenter Interaction, the WSRP Producer and the Oracle WSRP Consumer (separate product
and installation) are required. In addition, the Microsoft Web Services
Enhancements (WSE) 2.0 must be installed on the server that hosts
the WSRP Producer and ASP.NET web sites.
Note: This configuration
is only efficient if you are building cross-platform WSRP portlets
for both Oracle WebCenter Interaction and Oracle WebLogic Portal;
if you are building portlets for Oracle WebCenter Interaction only,
use the first Oracle WebCenter Interaction configuration shown above.
For a complete list of requirements, see Hardware and Software Requirements for Oracle WebCenter Application Accelerator for .NET.
