In the past month or so we have been going through the Oracle transition over here. As you can imagine there have been several changes in just about everything, like email, calendar, phones, and many new things to learn. In parallel, we are trying to stay focus and get our...

It’s been nearly 10 years since BEA acquired WebLogic, Inc., and now BEA itself has been acquired by Oracle.? WebLogic had approximately 95 employees on the day we were acquired, and BEA seemed almost impossibly huge with over 1000 employees at the time? At first it wasn’t clear what was...

As many of you know, BEA was acquired by Oracle. The good news: I am staying on board and look forward to my new role with the Oracle team. The bad news: the BEA dev2dev blogging site will be shut down shortly. Therefore, if you want to keep up with my posts on SaaS, Cloud Computing, mashups, portals, REST APIs, Greasemonkey, and other things you will need to update your RSS Reader. Otherwise, I am afraid, our relationship will end. Please help me by doing the following: Change your RSS reader to look for my feed here: http://peterlaird.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default Do NOT create any new inbound links to dev2dev, please inbound to my blogspot account If you have created any inbound links to my blog in the past to dev2dev, please update to point to the new blog. I migrated all of my old entries. Thanks!

I got a lot of people asking me about AquaLogic BPM Suite (ALBPM) support for WebLogic Portal (WLP), especially after the recent WLP 10.2 release. So the short answer is BPMN Business Process Management BPM Standards SOA BEA

Wondering how to expose Google Gadgets from WebLogic Portal? As promised, this is the second entry in a two part series talking about Google Gadgets. The first entry explained how to build a simple gadget. Now we will explore how to surface a Java portlet as a gadget using WebLogic Portal. Exposing a Google Gadget from any WLP portlet type (JSR 168, WSRP, JSP, Pageflow, JSF, Web Clip, etc) requires no coding - just a simple XML configuration file. This blog entry will show you exactly how to do it.

We have been showing how to expose WebLogic Portal portlets as Google Gadgets for almost two years now. Embarrassingly enough, we haven't written any blogs or articles on HOW to do it. We have answered email questions about it, but nothing public. This two part blog series will correct that omission. You will hopefully see that it is really quite simple to do. This first entry will talk about building a generic Google Gadget (without WLP), and then the following entry will show how to convert any WLP portlet into a gadget.

You've seen plenty of product presentations, demos, and so on, but how often do you really get to do something on your own without going through a lot of hassle? Have some fun using some of the new features in BEA WebLogic Portal 10.2 using the new portlets on wlp.bea.com.

Aqualogic Analytics provides a great way to for administrators to collect, view and report on metrics with regards to WebLogic Portal usage, now the API it uses to collect these metrics from WLP has been made public in 10.2. Here is an example of how to use this new API to create a very basic view of aggregated analytics suitable for non-production use.
