Personalizing Content

Oracle8i makes Dynamic News flexible. Because news items are stored in the database, Dynamic News can customize content on demand. The code examples in this section show how the application personalizes pages by retrieving news items in categories specified by the end-user. The main tasks are:

1. Get end-user preferences.

2. Pull news items from the database.

3. Combine news items to build a document.

4. After assembling personalized content, the application customizes presentation of the page, formatting it for the end-user's browser as described later in this document.
