Web Clipping  Lot of Business Applications are Web Based  Web Clipping provides a simple way to re- purpose the application into Portal

Web Clipping Browse to Source Web Page Wizard-driven, visual capture of content and functionality from existing Web sites for presentation in portlets. ‘Section’ Page, Choose Clipping Portal Page with Web Clipping Data & UI

Great! But:  I still need to: – Control the UI – Access non-Web-based applications – Control the application flow

Integrate EIS By Yourself How to connect Portal to EIS?

Integrate EIS By Yourself  Leverage the J2EE Platform – J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA / J2CA) – Web Services – XML – JDBC – Proprietary APIs

J2EE Connector Architecture  Standard definition (JSR112) that defines how to connect J2EE Application to EIS  Vendors provide adaptors for different applications OracleAS Portal J2EE Server Portal Developer Kit Oracle Adaptor EIS SAP Adaptor Any Adaptor

Web Services  A way for applications to publish and invoke business logic in a language independent manner  Uses standard protocols – HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, JMS  Uses standard definition based on XML: – Simple Object Application Protocol (SOAP) – Web Service Description Language (WSDL)  Applications Vendors start to provide embedded Web Services Solutions

Web Services Ingredients Client Application Portlet/Portal Portlet/Portal EJB EJB Web Service Implementation Implementation (Java,.Net, … ) EIS 1. Publish WSDL (opt.) 2. Locate (opt.) 3. Invoke (SOAP) Web Services Directory (UDDI)

XML: Extended Markup Language  Use to exchange data between applications  Can be accessible by any protocol – Most common: HTTP/HTTPS  Application Vendors provide XML interface to their systems  Most of the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solutions use XML

JDBC: Java Database Connectivity  J2EE standard to access Database  Vendors provide drivers for any relational resources – OracleAS: Oracle, DB2, SQLServer, Sybase,…  The developers directly access the data/store procedures

Proprietary APIs  Applications vendors generally provide proprietary APIs to access their system  Portal Developers can use these APIs to connect portal to the enterprise application OracleAS Portal Portal Developer Kit EIS Java API

Integrate with OmniPortlet  Presents data from different Data Sources as portlet: – JCA/J2CA – Web Service – XML – Database – Web Page – Spreadsheet  Access Secure Data – Authentication – HTTPS  Filter and Sort Data

Integrate with OmniPortlet  Different render-styles available – Tabular – Bar Chart – Pie Chart – Line Chart – News – Form  Independent Data and Layout

Declarative: Simple and Quick Page Designer 1 Publish the Portlet 23 Wizard-Based Build Empowers the Page Designer Select the Data Source Select the Layout

OracleAS Integration Data Source  Leverage the JCA Extended adaptors – Oracle11i, SAP, Peoplesoft, Siebel, JDEdwards – CICS, IMS Transaction, IMS DB, Tuxedo, VSAM – http/s, smtp, ftp/s – Oracle AQ, MQSeries, JMS – Oracle, DB2, Sybase, Informix, SQL Server, JDBC, files  Declarative Experience in the Wizard
