This chapter describes ways to extend Oracle WebCenter Ensemble, including customizing the user experience and developing web applications using Oracle WebCenter Ensemble extensions, and is divided into the following sections:
What the user sees when she logs in and out of Oracle WebCenter Ensemble resources is controlled by customizing login resources. Based on the experience definition associated with the user, different pages can be delivered to the user at different times in the login or logout process. The following sections describe login resources and how to use them to communicate with Oracle WebCenter Ensemble.
For details on using experience definitions to determine which login resource is used with a given user, see Chapter 7, "Experience Definitions."
A login resource hosts pages associated with a user's experience authenticating with Oracle WebCenter Ensemble. The following table describes the types of pages that can be delivered by a login resource:
Table 11-1 Login Resource Pages
Page | Definition |
---|---|
Pre-login page |
This page is displayed to the user prior to prompting the user for authentication the user. |
Login page |
This page is only applicable when form authentication is being used, and provides the form for login. |
Post-login page |
This page is displayed to the user after successful authentication and before the resource is accessed. |
Error page |
This page is displayed if there is an error in the login process. |
Post-logout page |
This page is displayed after the user logs out of the resource. |
A web page on the login resource can be specified for any or all of these settings using experience definitions. For details on configuring experience definitions, see Login Resources and Interstitial Pages.
Login resource pages communicate with Oracle WebCenter Ensemble by using HTTP headers. The following table lists the available headers and describes how and when they are used in the login or logout process.
Table 11-2 Login Resource Headers
Page | Header | Values |
---|---|---|
Pre-login |
|
|
Login |
|
|
Login |
|
|
Login |
|
|
Login |
|
|
Post-login |
|
Note: Error and Logout pages are considered terminal pages and do not communicate with Oracle WebCenter Ensemble using headers. Oracle WebCenter Ensemble does provide information to these pages using Oracle WebCenter Ensemble Adaptive tags. For details, see Oracle WebCenter Ensemble Adaptive Tags. |
Oracle WebCenter Ensemble Adaptive Tags allow you to insert data and logic into your proxied web application. Oracle WebCenter Ensemble transforms tags included in proxied web applications before the page is delivered to the user.
For additional details, see the topic on Oracle WebCenter Ensemble Adaptive Tags in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Ensemble, which is located on the Oracle Technology Network at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13158_01/ensemble/docs103/index.html
