I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum to ask this in. I'm part of a team working with Oracle Application Server 10g and Oracle Collaboration Suite.
We're looking to use the OCS Workspace API & jDeveloper to create custom portlets to do things like tell a user which workspaces they're members of, in a portlet. I can't find any sort of comprehensive simple, from-the-ground-up examples of how to do this though.
Some of my questions:
The jar files for the API are up on the OCS box itself. Do I need to copy them locally to be able to develop and compile? Can I set my classpath to reference these jars up on the server instead?
My understanding is that we'd write the classes to do things like connect to the OCS server, then instantiate a session, then return the data in a format we can use so we can parse it into HTML via a
JSP perhaps. But I can't find any good examples of how to do this. I've searched all over Oracle's website, and even inside Oracle Metalink.
Can anyone point me towards some articles or other assistance?
Thanks
