Prerequisites: Oracle WebCenter Content, UCM, WebCenter Portal, RIDC

When we do large portal site development, we usually store enterprise content and images in content repository. Content repository offers library services, content check-in / out and versioning, etc., which allows content more manageable and traceable.

A common use case is to present images that store in content repository in portal page directly. Let’s see how we do this under Oracle WebCenter Content and Portal environment.

The idea is to build up a HashMap which holds key-value pairs docName-docURL. When portal page renders, it references to the specific docName key defined in the image tag and loads the image based on the value of docURL from content repository...

When I review my past projects, I found one that might benefit you when you want to invoke Python functions from your Java code directly.

The project was for a local public agency. They hired people to collect air pollution data on streets and intersections using handheld device. The device stores longitude, latitude and other relevant data into attached MS Access database. Since client uses ESRI ArcGIS which mainly uses UTM projection. So we need to convert longitude and latitude data into UTM basis in order to generate the map.

One of the biggest challenges was the budget of this project was quite limited...

Our utility client has a large site with numerous sub-sites that need to be migrated to a new million dollars WCM (Web Content Management) based system. The new site is based on Adobe CQ* which is a neat WCM system.

The problem is the migration can’t be done in one day. In a large organization, the way it works is to migrate sub-sites one by one. The procedure can take a few months or longer. So we need to bridge the legacy site and new one to help on seamless migration. When user accesses the site, user may access the bookmarks or favorite links that they stored in their browsers. Those bookmarks still point to legacy sites even there are newly migrated sites available. What we need do is to find the match in between and redirect the legacy URLs to the new one running on new WCM system.
