B Additional Development References

The following references provide additional information for use in Oracle WebCenter Interaction development.

CSP

CSP is a platform-independent protocol based on the open standard of HTTP 1.1. The syntax of communication between the portal and remote servers is defined by CSP. CSP defines custom headers and outlines how Oracle WebCenter Interaction and Oracle WebCenter Ensemble services use HTTP to communicate and modify settings. The Oracle WebCenter Interaction Development Kit (IDK) provides simplified, stable interfaces that allow you to write code that communicates using CSP. The current version of CSP is 1.4.

Oracle WebCenter Application Accelerator for .NET / Oracle WebCenter Portlet Toolkit for .NET

The Oracle WebCenter Application Accelerator for .NET is a collection of libraries and Visual Studio 2005 integration features that support easy authoring of ASP.NET 2.0 and WSRP portlets. The Oracle WebCenter Application Accelerator for .NET includes the Oracle WebCenter Portlet Toolkit for .NET. Portlets can be authored for both Oracle WebCenter Interaction and Oracle WebLogic Portal (WLP).. Development guides are available for both environments on the Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html).

Oracle WebCenter Analytics APIs

Oracle WebCenter Analytics delivers comprehensive reporting on activity and content usage within portals and composite applications, allowing you to know and meet user information needs. The OpenUsage and Query APIs provide access the Analytics functionality from custom applications.

• The OpenUsage API allows you to to raise Oracle WebCenter Analytics events from custom portlets and applications and store them in the database..

• The Query API allows you to query data in the Oracle WebCenter Analytics database.

For details on documentation on these APIs, see the Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html).

JSR-168 Container

The Oracle WebCenter JSR-168 Container is an implementation of the JSR-168 JCP standard for portlet authoring. For details on downloading and developing portlets with the Oracle WebCenter JSR-168 Container 1.2, see the Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html).
