Oracle Joins the Mashup Parade With WebCenter Suite

(Page 1 of 2)
Oracle released its latest answers to the questions of data integration, search and Web 2.0 in February, with the unveiling of an update to Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g, and the new Oracle WebCenter Suite and Oracle Data Integrator.
The WebCenter Suite is a key part of Oracle’s Fusion strategy for applications and middleware; the company calls the suite “the foundation of the user interface” of Fusion applications.
The heart of the WebCenter Suite is the WebCenter framework, which allows developers to implement role-based customization and rapid, modular content creation in JavaServer Faces and Java EE Web applications. The company claims a first among major vendors, by incorporating WSRP (Web Services for Remote Portlets) 2.0 support into WebCenter Suite.
The WebCenter framework is a declarative development environment, optimized for hosting standards-based components and providing a content integration layer, based on JSR 170, that allows the use of multiple content repositories. Portlets compliant with the Java portlet specification will work with WebCenter, and mobile users are supported with the framework’s built-in multichannel support.
WebCenter Services is a collection of prefabricated Web 2.0 services designed to help enterprises enter the world of so-called application “mashups.” Content management, discussion threading, instant messaging, online awareness, secure search and wiki services enable collaboration and information sharing.
The WebCenter Studio ties into Oracle JDeveloper and provides developer access to the WebCenter framework and services. It includes wizards for a variety of common tasks, such as building and consuming portlets, securing an application, and creating a data control for accessing a content repository. Veteran developers may find this reduces the amount of code they need to write, while newcomers have always appreciated a leg up.
In another Fusion Middleware development, Oracle announced the availability of Oracle Data Integrator, based on technology from the company’s acquisition of Sunopsis, and is designed for high-performance use with database, data warehouse and other applications from vendors such as IBM, Microsoft, Sybase and Teradata.
