Oracle WebCenter Components
Oracle
WebCenter 11
g includes components that provide a full range of
functionality to develop the Web-based applications you need, and to maintain
an efficient enterprise consisting of Internet and extranet Web sites, enterprise
portals and intranets, and composite applications. These components are:
- Oracle WebCenter Framework: A declarative JavaServer
Faces (JSF)-based framework that enables embedding of AJAX-based components,
portlets, services, and content into context-rich customizable applications
and enterprise portals. Leveraging a revolutionary way of layering customizations,
these applications and portals store user changes in Oracle Metadata
Services (MDS), which is used across all of Oracle Fusion Middleware
and is the foundation for Oracle Fusion Applications (OFA). Oracle WebCenter
Framework insulates users and developers from patching and upgrades
to make businesses more agile. It is delivered as an extension to Oracle
JDeveloper, which provides an integrated development environment for
composite J2EE applications, business processes, BI applications, and
enterprise portals.
- Oracle WebCenter Spaces: A ready-to-use application
that pulls together WebCenter Services to empower teams to quickly and
efficiently manage their information, applications, projects, and people.
Oracle WebCenter Spaces allows users to work more effectively with project
teams and work groups, including teams that span multiple geographies
or include external members. It eliminates or reduces duplication of
effort and content inconsistencies, and enables sharing and collaboration
on team content to focus valuable resources on solving business problems,
tapping into new ideas, and reducing time to market. Additionally, it
provides breakthrough technology to enable unstructured projects and
activities to be managed and embedded in the context of an existing
business application.
- Oracle Composer: Enables runtime customization and
personalization of JSF applications that are created with Oracle WebCenter
Framework, and includes a set of services to create and manage JSF pages
at runtime. Runtime customizations are managed by Oracle Metadata Services
(MDS). Oracle Composer includes the ability to show the components that
can be added to any page through the Resource Catalog.
- WebCenter Services: Includes Web 2.0 content and
communication services that can be embedded directly into an application,
or used to enhance your Oracle Portal, Oracle WebLogic Portal, and Oracle
WebCenter Interaction applications. Services include discussions, wikis,
blogs, lists, tags, links, documents, search, instant messaging and
presence, REST-based application integration, usage analytics, and BPEL-based
workflow.
