This is a post of the series Oracle WebCenter Portal to Oracle JET . In this case I will make another comparison between Oracle ADF and Oracle JET Architectures . Maybe this should be the second and not the third post, anyway here it is. WCP to OJET Oracle ADF is based on MVC (Model-View-Controller) Oracle ADF is a Java EE framework based on JSF 2.2 (Java Server Faces) which implements the pattern Model-View-Controller , but extending the classic Model of plain Java Server Faces based on Managed Beans. Oracle ADF introduces the ADF Model layer ( also known as the Binding Layer ), which was intended to be standarized (JSR-227) to be the way for data binding and access from the view to the sources of data, however it never was approved. The ADF Model abstracts the access to the business services independently of the data source (SOAP, REST, JPA) Knockout (library used by Oracle JET) is based on (Model-View-ViewModel) Oracle JET is a Toolkit which uses Knockout JS...

This is the second post of the series Oracle WebCenter Portal to Oracle JET. In this case I will talk about how to move ADF Task Flows or Portlets in Oracle WebCenter Portal to Oracle JET. WCP to JET ADF Bounded Task Flows and Portlets in Oracle WebCenter Portal The most common way of promoting re-usability in WebCenter Portal Pages is by embedding "widgets" built by using: Oracle ADF Bounded Task Flows based in Page Fragments which can be embedded in a Portal Page as an ADF Region ( <af:region> ) Portlets 2.0 (based on JSR 286) which are consumed remotely by using WSRP 2.0 (Web Service Remote Portlet) specification. Portlets can be based on ADF by using the ADF Portlet Bridge or based on any other Portlet technology. In the above image, you can see there is: A Portal Called Test. Currently in the Page called Home of the Portal Test . The Page has been configured with two components: The Activity Stream Task Flow The Page Traffic Analytics P...

In this post I will bring a brief solution on how to move Oracle WebCenter Portal Navigation to Oracle JET oj.Router From WCP to OJET In Oracle WebCenter Portal the navigation consists in two main types: Standard WCP Navigation Portal Navigation : Which is the navigation between Portals created within Oracle WebCenter Portal. Current Portal Navigation : Which is the navigation between the Pages of the Current Portal.  In both of the above cases, WebCenter Portal Security (ADF Security) is applied to display / hide the links and also protects the access to those Pages. How to move from WebCenter Portal Navigation Model to Oracle JET Routing? Remember that Oracle JET is a SPA (Single Page Application) which loads dynamically Modules depending on the actions of the user. The code of the example can be found in my GitHub ( ojet-wcp-router ): https://github.com/DanielMerchan/ojet-examples/ Oracle JET uses a class oj.Router for Routing the user to the ...

I have uploaded to my GitHub the WebCenter Portal Extension -  BAM Dashboard Task Flow which helps to integrate with Oracle BAM Dashboards. https://github.com/DanielMerchan/WebCenterExtensions Summary of steps about how to use it (more detailed in GitHub) Summary - Installation: The project produces an ADF JAR Library that you can deploy within the WebCenter Portal Shared-Library extend.spaces.webapp or in a separate Shared-Library referenced by extend.spaces.webapp weblogic.xml It requires to create an ADF Connection in WebCenter Portal using the Enterprise Manager (BAM Connection).   Usage: Add BAM Dashboard Task Flow into WCP Resource Catalog. Add BAM Dashboard Task Flow into a WCP Portal Page. Configure BAM Dashboard Task Flow Input Parameters. (A BAM Dashboard Proxy Page URL looks like http://wcp12c:7004/bam/composer/faces/proxypage?DashboardParameters=%28ProcessSelection%3D%5BALL%5D%3B%29&dashboard=ProcessHealth&project=ProcessAna...
