Site Studio Development with JDeveloper

Oracle WebCenter Portal and Content stack is slowly removing the dependency with Oracle Site Studio External Sites and promoting WebCenter sites.

But, we can connect the Site Studio with JDeveloper to create the Site Studio Files in order to display static content and dynamic contents in WebCenter portal. Using site studio contributor data file in WebCenter Portal application, content editor can edit the content at run time using Site Studio Contributor Mode.

We need to download the below packages from ucm installation directory and then load with JDeveloper.

Path :- <UCM Installation Directory>\ucm\Distribution\SiteStudioExternalApplications\jdev

1. oracle.ucm.wcm.jdev-11.1.1.zip

Follow the below steps to incorporate the same packages downloaded in JDeveloper.

1. Open JDeveloper and go to Help Menu and select 'Check For Updates'
2. Click 'Next' on the update wizard Step 1
3. Click the Radio Button 'Install From Local File' and browse the above zip file and install it.

It is advisable to restart the JDeveloper for any extension changes.

Once the Site Studio is completely added, we can see the Site Studio Entry in JDeveloper 'View' menu.

Create a new JDeveloper Generic Project and add the Site Studio Technologies as technology stack.

Once the project is created, we can create a site studio connection  with Projects 'Application Resources Connection'.

Right click 'Connection ' --> New Connection --> Site Studio

Connection Name - Host name of the WebCenter Content.

Specify the Credentials for JDeveloper Session and test the connection.

Once the connection has been successfully established,  right click on the connection and add to the project.

Now we can create below Site Studio Files for our Webcenter portal Project.

1. Element Definitions
2. Region Definitions
3. Contributor Data Files
