27 Integrating with Oracle WebCenter Spaces

27.2.4.1 Verifying That WebCenter Spaces Is Up and Running

If you want to use the WebCenter SpacesAPIs, the WebCenter Spaces application must be up and running.

To verify that WebCenter Spaces is up and running:

1. Start WebCenter Spaces. The URL is:

   http://host:port/webcenter
   

   You do not need to log in.

2. Verify that the WebCenter Spaces Web service is up and running. The URL is:

   http://host:port/webcenter/SpacesWebService?WSDL
   

   You should see a page similar to the one shown in Figure 27-6. If you do not see this page, contact your Fusion Middleware administrator.

   Figure 27-6 SpacesWebService WSDL

   
   Description of "Figure 27-6 SpacesWebService WSDL"
   
   

For more information about setting up WebCenter Spaces, see the "Getting WebCenter Spaces Up and Running" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter.

27.2.4.2 Setting Up the Custom WebCenter Application to Use WebCenter Spaces APIs

Before you can call the WebCenter Spaces APIs in your custom WebCenter application, you must ensure that your application contains the correct libraries and that there is a connection to the WebCenter Spaces Web service.

To set up your application to use the WebCenter Spaces APIs:

1. Start JDeveloper.

2. In the Application Navigator, expand the application for which you want to provide group space functionality.

   The application should be based on the WebCenter Application template.

3. Right-click the view-controller project and choose Project Properties.

4. Select Libraries and Classpath.

5. Check that the following libraries are available in your project, adding any as necessary:

   • ADF DVT Faces Runtime

   • ADF Model Generic Runtime

   • ADF Model Runtime

   • JAX-RPC Client

   • JAX-WS Client

   • JAXB

   • Oracle JEWT

   • WebCenter Spaces Client

   • JDEV_HOME/jdeveloper/modules/oracle.adf.model_11.1.1/adfm.jar

   • JDEV_HOME/jdeveloper/modules/oracle.xdk_11.1.1/xml.jar

6. Click OK.

7. In the Application Resources panel of the Application Navigator, right-click Connections and choose New Connection > URL.

8. In the Name field, enter SpacesWebServiceEndpoint.

9. In the URL Endpoint field, enter the WebCenter Spaces Web service URL:

   http://host:port/webcenter/SpacesWebService
   

10. Click OK.

    The connection information is added to the connections.xml file in the application's META-INF directory, for example:

    C:\JDeveloper\mywork\mySpacesApplication\.adf\META-INF
    

    If the connections.xml file does not exist, it is created.

11. Open the connections.xml file and verify that the code shown in Example 27-1 appears:

    Example 27-1 WebCenter Spaces Web Service Endpoint URL Connection

    <Reference name="SpacesWebServiceEndpoint"
    className="oracle.adf.model.connection.url.HttpURLConnection">
    <Factory className="oracle.adf.model.connection.url.URLConnectionFactory"/>
    <RefAddresses>
      <XmlRefAddr addrType="SpacesWebServiceEndpoint">
        <Contents>
          <urlconnection name="SpacesWebServiceEndpoint"
          url="http://host:port/webcenter/SpacesWebService"/>
        </Contents>
      </XmlRefAddr>
    </RefAddresses>
    </Reference>
    

    If you need to set the WebCenter Spaces Web service endpoint at runtime, you can use the setGroupSpaceWebServiceEndpoint API (Example 27-2). You can write a wrapper API that takes the endpoint as a parameter and then calls setGroupSpaceWebServiceEndpoint, passing the parameter. An exception is raised if the endpoint is set in connections.xml.

    Example 27-2 Setting the WebCenter Spaces Web Service Endpoint at Runtime

    client.setGroupSpacesWebServiceEndpoint("http://myserver.example.com/webcenter/SpacesWebService");
    

27.2.4.3 Securing the Connection Between the Application and WebCenter Spaces

Before using the WebCenter Spaces APIs in your custom WebCenter application, you must ensure that the communication between the application (the consumer) and WebCenter Spaces (the producer) is secure. This is so that the identity of the user invoking the APIs is propagated to WebCenter Spaces in a secure manner where the integrity and confidentiality of the communication is maintained.

To do this, the WebCenter Spaces APIs use a policy of SAML based token passing with message protection. Your administrator must create a Java keystore and update the credential store so that WebCenter Spaces can verify the authenticity of the security tokens received from your application. You must then register this keystore and update the credential store using JDeveloper.

For information about the steps that the administrator must perform, see "Securing WebCenter Spaces for Applications Consuming Spaces Client APIs with WS-Security" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter.

Before You Begin

Obtain the following from your administrator:

• Consumer keystore to use to secure the connection. This is a .jks file (for example, consumer.jks).

• Consumer public alias key stored in the keystore (for example, consumer).

• Password of the consumer public alias key (for example, mypassword1).

• Producer public alias key stored in the consumer keystore (for example, producer). This is the alias specified by the administrator when importing the trusted certificate of the producer.

• Consumer keystore password (for example, mypassword2).

To secure the connection:

1. Copy the keystore to the file system where your custom WebCenter application is running, for example:

   DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig
   

2. Open the jps-config.xml file and configure the keystore created by your administrator (Example 27-3).

   Example 27-3 Keystore Instance in jps.config.xml

   <!-- KeyStore Service Instance -->
       <serviceInstance name="keystore" provider="keystore.provider"
       location="./consumer.jks">
           <description>Default JPS Keystore Service</description>
           <property name="keystore.type" value="JKS"/>
               <property name="keystore.csf.map" value="oracle.wsm.security"/>
           <property name="keystore.pass.csf.key" value="keystore-csf-key"/>
           <property name="keystore.sig.csf.key" value="enc-csf-key"/>
           <property name="keystore.enc.csf.key" value="enc-csf-key"/>
       </serviceInstance>
   

   You can use Fusion Middleware Control to specify the keystore location if you prefer. For more information see "Managing Security" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter.

3. Take a backup of cwallet.sso.

4. Open a command line prompt.

5. Navigate to the directory where JDeveloper is installed, for example:

   C:\Jdev\jdeveloper\common\bin
   

6. Run the following command:

   • In Windows: wlst.cmd

   • In Linux: ./wlst.sh

7. Run:

   connect('admin_user', 'admin_password', 'host:port')
   

   Where:

   • admin_user is the user name for the administrator of the server on which the application is running (for example, weblogic)

   • admin_password is the password for the administrator

   • host:port is the server on which the application is running

8. Run the following commands:

   createCred(map="oracle.wsm.security", key="enc-csf-key", user="alias", password="key_password", desc="Enc Password")
   
   createCred(map="oracle.wsm.security", key="sign-csf-key", user="alias", password="key_password", desc="Enc Password")
   
   createCred(map="oracle.wsm.security", key="keystore-csf-key", user="keystore-csf-key", password="keystore_password", desc="Keystore password")
   

   Where:

   • alias is the consumer public alias key in the keystore

   • key_password is the password for the public key

   • keystore_password is the keystore password

   You can obtain this information from your administrator, as detailed in the "Before You Begin" section.

   If you need any additional help to run these commands, see the "createCred" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference.

   You can use Fusion Middleware Control to update the credential store if you prefer. For more information see the "Securing WebCenter Spaces for Applications Consuming Spaces Client APIs with WS-Security" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter.

9. Restart the server on which your application is deployed, and then your default server.

27.2.4.4 Setting Up the Group Space Client Context

Before calling any of the WebCenter Spaces APIs in your application code, a few setup steps are required.

To set up the group space client context

1. Domain-wide configuration settings are used when you call WebCenter Spaces APIs from an application deployed on WebLogic Server (WLS), unless you specifically choose to override them. To override or set security configuration parameters, use the APIs provided by the GroupSpaceWSContext class.

   In particular, you must set the SAML issuer name and the public key alias for WebCenter Spaces, which are required for data encryption. If the WebCenter Spaces Web service endpoint is not set in the connections.xml file, you can set this too.

   For example:

   GroupSpaceWSContext context = new GroupSpaceWSContext();
   
   context.setEndPoint("endPointUrl");
   context.setSamlIssuerName("samlIssuer");
   context.setRecipientKeyAlias("producer");
   
   groupSpaceWSClient = new GroupSpaceWSClient(context);
   

   Where:

   • endPointUrl is the WebCenter Spaces Web service endpoint, for example, http://server.example.com:8912/webcenter/SpacesWebService).

   • samlIssuer is the issuer URI of the SAML Authority issuing assertions for this SAML Asserting Party (for example, http://www.example.com/webcenter)

   • producer is the public key alias for WebCenter Spaces, for example, wcspaces.

     You can obtain this information from your administrator, as detailed in the "Before You Begin" section.

   For a full list of the APIs provided by the GroupSpaceWSContext class, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Java API Reference for Oracle WebCenter.

2. Initialize the group space client by passing the context. For example:

   GroupSpaceWSClient client = new GroupSpaceWSClient(context);
   

3. Once you have initialized the client, check everything is set up correctly by calling:

   getWebCenterSpacesURL();
   

   If the correct URL is returned, everything is set up correctly and you can start using the group space APIs.

27.2.6.1 Providing Localized Error Messages

Sometimes you may find that the default error messages provided by the APIs are not specific enough for your particular application. In these cases you can provide your own error messages.

Use the getLocalizedMessage API to compose application-specific error messages.

Example 27-29 shows a servlet that includes code to create a group space. If any exceptions are raised during the creation process, a localized message is printed.

servlet1.java

doGet()
{
...
  print("<b>Output</b>");
  try
    {
      GroupSpaceWSClient client = new GroupSpaceWSClient(context);
      client.createGroupSpace("Databases", "Databases, "A community for people interested in databases", "databases, oracle", "CommunityofInterest");
      print("Successfully created group space");
    }
  catch(GroupSpaceWSException ex)
    {
      if(ex instanceof GroupSpaceNameNullException)
        print(ex.getLocalizedMessage());
      else if (ex instanceof GroupSpaceDescNullException)
        print(ex.getLocalizedMessage());
    }
...
}

27.2.6.2 Listing the Error Stack

For debugging purposes, it is often useful to see which errors ultimately led to the failure of a particular operation to discover the underlying cause of the problem. Use the printStackTrace API to list all the errors that caused a particular exception.

Example 27-30 prints the exception and all the errors leading up to it.

servlet1.java

doGet()
{
...
  print("<b>Output</b>");
  try
    {
      GroupSpaceWSClient client = new GroupSpaceWSClient(context);
      client.createGroupSpace("Databases", "Databases", "A community for people interested in databases", "databases, oracle", "CommunityofInterest");
      print("Successfully created group space");
    }
  catch(GroupSpaceWSException ex)
    {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
...
}
