Registering custom REST resources to access through Webcenter API's

Hi All,

You may have developed your custom RESTful services which you might want to consume by extending the native WebCenter application, Consuming services this way will also secure your services if you can extend the uToken capabilities provided by the Webcenter framework itself which is an interesting implementation which i will save for a different blog post however to consume your custom rest services oracle made it very easy in 12c with just one change in web.xml (Of-course, you should have your rest services built and deployed). Please make the following change within your web.xml to list your resources in the resourceIndex.

Add this <context-param>:

 <context-param>
        <param-name>oracle.jaxrs.config.property.resources.studyResources</param-name>
        <param-value>com.mycompany.rest.services.LibraryResource,
                                com.mycompany.rest.services.PeopleResource,
                                com.mycompany.rest.services.CardManagementResource,
       </param-value>
    </context-param>

So with just one simple change as mentioned above your resources should be available in the resourceIndex. This change will work because webcenter will be loading all the needed Jersey configuration for you so that part is abstracted from your extended library.

*In case you need help on developing and deploying your shared libraries oracle has a really good documentation in this location

Environment:
JDeveloper 12.2.1.3.0
Webcenter Extension 12.2.1.3.0
Jersey 2.0

Happy Coding ✌

Spring Boot - RestTemplate PATCH request fix

  In Spring Boot, you make a simple http request as below: 1. Define RestTemplate bean @Bean public RestTemplate restTemplate () { return new RestTemplate (); } 2. Autowire RestTemplate wherever you need to make Http calls @Autowire private RestTemplate restTemplate ; 3. Use auto-wired RestTemplate to make the Http call restTemplate . exchange ( "http://localhost:8080/users" , HttpMethod . POST , httpEntity , String . class ); Above setup works fine for all Http calls except PATCH. The following exception occurs if you try to make a PATCH request as above Exception: I / O error on PATCH request for \ "http://localhost:8080/users\" : Invalid HTTP method: PATCH ; nested exception is java . net . ProtocolException : Invalid HTTP method: PATCH Cause: Above exception happens because of the HttpURLConnection used by default in Spring Boot RestTemplate which is provided by the standard JDK HTTP library. More on this at this  bug Fix: This can b...

Settings.xml for Maven, JFrog

For development and deployment of applications we always use an artifactory in real-time world to host artifacts needed for your build and also as a target to deploy artifacts generated in the build process. For Maven, to communicate with artifactory we need a settings.xml file which is usually located at "/User/rake/.m2/settings.xml" this file consists of how to authenticate to the artifactory servers and authorizations to read/ write to different locations like release, snapshots e.t.c... Settings.xml can be generated using the artifactory you're using which in my case is JFrog , but here's a sample settings file for your reference incase you're feeling lazy☺ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <settings xsi:schemaLocation= "http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.1.0.xsd" xmlns= "http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi= "http://www.w3.org/2001/XM...

Stored Procedures in ADF

One of the common requirements for ADF programmers is to invoke Stored Procedures and Functions. Implementing this is so simple with few lines of code in Java classes used under business components. Following code snippets from fusion guide  will help execute different procedures with and without arguments. Execute stored procedure with No Arguments: public void callProcWithNoArgs() { getDBTransaction().executeCommand( "begin devguidepkg.proc_with_no_args; end;"); } Execute stored procedure with only IN arguments: Procedures often take arguments in order to process some business logic. Arguments are limited from none to many. In order to use stored procedures with argument mode we need to use JDBC PreparedStatement object. How To: Create connection Create a JDBC PreparedStatement with procedure details wrapped in a PL/SQL begin..end block. Assign the values to arguments if any. Execute the statement. Close the statement. protected void callStoredPr...
