About the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Scripting Framework
The Oracle WebCenter Interaction Scripting Framework is
a client-side JavaScript library that provides services to pagelets,
portlets and hosted gatewayed pages. The Portlet Communication Component
(PCC) is contained within the Scripting Framework.
The Oracle WebCenter Interaction Scripting Framework allows pagelets
to:
- Store and share session state through browser level variables. Browser-level variables can be stored and shared among
pagelets/portlets, even if they are not on the same page. For example,
a value entered by the user in one pagelet can be retrieved by another.
The Scripting Framework acts as an intermediary, allowing all pagelets/portlets
access to all values stored in a common session. For details, see Using Session Preferences.
- Leverage page-level events. A pagelet/portlet can respond
when specific events happen, such as when the page loads or when the
browser focus changes. For details, see Using Oracle WebCenter Interaction Scripting Framework Event Notification.
- Refresh portlet content without reloading the portal page. Pagelets/portlets can reload their internal content without refreshing
the page. For details, see Using In-Place Refresh.
- Open any Oracle WebCenter Interaction object from anywhere
within the portal. The CommonOpener_OpenObject function is included
in every page generated by the Oracle WebCenter Interaction application,
and can be called from within a pagelet/portlet through the PRC. For
details, see Retrieving Object Managers Using Oracle WebCenter Interaction Development Kit (IDK) Remote APIs. You can also reference Oracle WebCenter Interaction objects
in pagelets/portlets and UI components using Adaptive Tags. For details,
see Accessing Oracle WebCenter Interaction Objects Using Adaptive Tags.
For a full list of classes and methods, see the
JSPortlet API documentation.
