Display UCM files in ADF/Webcenter application as images or link

Requirement- Display UCM images on the page or as link, so that user click of that image and can open in new window

Implementation – You can also have my previous videos to make connection between portal and content and other video Content Presenter in Webcenter Portal
or Content Integration Using Folder viewer in Webcenter Portal .

But if you really want to display your ucm image or show as link for your images or document then you follow below approach
Taking scenario if you don’t how many documents are there.then for that case use below approach

You can use af:image or af:goLink component to put the below url as source or destination

#{WCAppContext.applicationURL}/content/conn/contentserver/uuid/dDocName%3a#{contentId}

#{WCAppContext.applicationURL} = This will return the url with full context till port number = abc.com/7001/yourPortal

contentserver- is connection name to the UCM.

content id = is the content id of the document.

Displaying as link

  1. JDK Installation

The JDK must be installed on your system before you install Oracle WebLogic Server. It is recommended that you use the Sun JDK if you are installing in a development environment. Typically, this environment provides a more relaxed security configuration and enables you to auto-deploy applications. In a development environment, boot.properties is used for user names and passwords and polling is used for application deployment.

If you are installing in a production environment, it is recommended that you use the Oracle JRockit JDK. Production environments are for applications running in their final form. Full security is enabled and applications may be clustered or use other advanced features. In this mode, user names and passwords are required and polling is not used for application deployment.

This section elaborates the step-by-step procedure to install Sun JDK –

Step 1:

  • Navigate to the directory where you want to install the software. (Say, /usr/local/apps). In this installation, Sun JDK installable file is placed at the same location where you want to install the software.

     

  • Change the permission of the file you downloaded to be executable. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:

 

chmod a+x jdk-6u26-linux-x64.bin

  • Verify that you have permission to execute the file. Enter the following command:

     

    ls –l

     

Step 2:

  • Run the JDK executable file. Enter the following command:


    ./jdk-6u26-linux-x64.bin

     


 

 

 

 

Step 3:

  • You will be prompted to ‘Press Enter to continue’. Press ‘Enter’ to complete the installation. In this installation, Sun JDK is installed in the /usr/local/apps/jdk1.6.0_26 directory.
