The following article shows how to programmatically validate a set of JET UI components. For backward compatibility, the application has been extended to support the new JET 6.0.0 web components, as well as the older (on or before 3.2.0) html components. The sample application consists of two forms, each of which has been built on a template supplied from the JS file. The validators and the button click functions have all been built through the underlying data structure.

Introduction In the past months I was introduced to Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit, an extensible product put together by Oracle to enable building enterprise grade front-ends in JavaScript (client-side applications) which happens to be integrated in the Oracle Cloud and seamlessly integrated in Oracle’s SaaS products such as Oracle Cloud Visual Builder (yes, you can build JavaScript front-ends with a drag-and-drop interface in the Cloud). On an ever-changing JavaScript ecosystem, Oracle JET’s real benefits are the ability to focus on developing while Oracle takes care of leveraging popular open-source technologies for you to develop your applications using their abstractions which are based on decoupled architecture, without compromising on making your own choices to extend the toolkit. JET includes accessibility support, template based Single Page Application, internationalization support out of the box, advanced one and two-way binding with a common model layer, powerful routing system, built-in mobile support and a rich set of UI components.

This is a quick and short article which talks about displaying ADF BC REST resource's validation message on the JET UI. The inital step to is to create a validator method on one of the desired attributes of the ADF entity object. For my use case, I have selected Salary attribute on Employee EO. While calling create or save on your collection data, the error callback has 3 parameters. The first parameter contains all the details of the error thrown. The responseText attribute shows the exact error text thrown from the REST end-point.

Oracle Visual Builder supports ADF BC REST out of the box. Build service connection using "Define by Specification" wizard: Wizards support ADF as API type. Add describe at the end of the REST URL, this will bring metadata for exposed ADF BC REST service (information about attribute types, etc.): List of endpoints will be populated automatically. You could select all endpoints to be supported for your connection or select only few: The most typical thing you would do with endpoint - map it with the table to display collection data. You would drag and drop Oracle JET table into VBCS page and choose Add Data option to map it with the service connection: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

End-users are strange. Sometime they need the system we are developing to remind them when they do silly things. For example some users want us to remind them if they are trying to navigate away from a page where they did changes to data, but didn't click "save". Below I'll show you an approach for implementing such a behavior in Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service. What we are going to do is cancel navigation actions until users acknowledge that they are ok to leave the page. I will leave it up to you to decide when this should go into effect. While some people might claim that this should be the default behavior across the app, this is debatable. For example, if I go into a "create record" type of page, and then without doing any changes decide to leave that page - should I be prompted for a "you have unsaved changes" message? Isn't me leaving the page the equivalent of saying - I don't need to do changes? As you can see the decision is not clear cut - so in the demo below I let you control when we start this "changes were made" status simply by pressing a button. In real applications these can be done for example when a value in a field changes. At the end of the day, all you need to do is set a boolean variable that tracks whether we are now in "changes were made" status.

Introduction In this article in the Web Components Techniques series I'm going to look at a fairly specialised topic, that of creating components that can call into VBCS Service Endpoints (REST Services managed by Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service). Now as a matter of course we try and build components which are totally agnostic of where they will be used, I should be able to use that component both within JET or any JET based UI, including VBCS of course.  As such we might define our component API with properties which work with generic data-types such as Array or the JET DataProvider interface. However, there are cases where this is really not sufficient.  For example, you are building a complex CRUD (CReate Update Delete) screen as a re-usable component.  This will need to keep communicating with the appropriate REST endpoints within the context of the component, rather than just manipulating a set of data and allowing the hosting application to take care of the REST part (Note: this is just apattern, not the pattern there are various ways for components to behave in these scenarios, there is no one-size fits all approach).  Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

Over the weekend we rolled out an update to your Oracle Developer Cloud Service instances which introduces several new features. In this blog we'll quickly review two of them - Support for the Fn project and integration with the Wercker CI/CD solution. These new features further enhance the scope of CI/CD functionality that you get in our team development platform. Project Fn Build Support Fn is a function-as-a-service open-source platform lead by Oracle and available for developers looking to develop portable functions with a variety of languages. If you are not familiar with Project Fn a good intro on why you should care is this blog, and you can learn more on it through the Fn project's home page on GitHub. In the latest version of Developer Cloud you have a new option in the build steps menu that helps you define various Fn related commands as part of your build process. So for example if you Fn project code is hosted in the Git repository provided by your DevCS project, you can use the build step to automate a process of building and deploying the function you created.

As you may know, the Common Response component (System.CommonResponse) can be used to iteratively stamp response items sourced from an array. Sometimes however it is not the repeated rendering of a response item that bot designers need but the repeated looping over a dialog flow state or many dialog flow states (block). In this quick tip I explain how to create a loop in the dialog flow of a skill bot that gets terminated when a specific condition is met. Building Loops in OBotML OBotML is the YAML based syntax of the dialog flow in a skill bot. In the following I explain how you create a bot response as shown below by iterating over states in a dialog flow. Its easy for you then to modify the sample for a more complex use case you may have.

All bot responses are messages. The most common output is the text message that prints in a bubble. Especially at the end of a bot task, bot designers look for a way to print a summary of outcome of the user-bot interaction. For this, designers have different requirements · Print text messages in Multiple Bubbles · Print multi-line text messages in a single bubble Printing Messages in Multiple Bubbles In Oracle Digital Assistant, a message in a bubble is the outcome of a System.Output component, a System.CommonResponse component, or calls to conversation.reply(message) in a custom component. From a UX perspective, printing messages in multiple bubbles appears more engaging than a long message in a single bubble. Well, at least until you print too many message bubbles so the user loses orientation with this approach. The key to printing multiple messages in a bubble is to keep on printing message without waiting for users to provide another input. Here's How you do it.

In this post I am going to walk through setting up and using WebLogic on OpenShift, using the Oracle WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator. My starting point is the OpenShift Container Platform server that I set up on OCI in this earlier post. I am going to use the operator to manage my domains in OpenShift. The operator pattern is common in Kubernetes for managing complex software products that have special lifecycle requirements, different to the base assumptions made by Kubernetes. For example, when there is state in a pod that needs to be saved or migrated before terminating a pod. The WebLogic Kubernetes operator includes such built-in knowledge of WebLogic, so it greatly simplifies the management of WebLogic in a Kubernetes environment. Plus it is completely open source and supported by Oracle.

We have just made our 2.0 Release Candidate 2 of the Oracle WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator available for early adopters. The 2.0 release adds some significant new features including: Support for burning your WebLogic domain into the Docker image, in addition to supporting the domain being on persistent storage, The operator is now installed using Helm charts, replacing the earlier scripts, You can override domain configuration using configuration override templates, Load balancers and Ingress can now be independently configured, WebLogic logs can be directed to a persistent volume or the WebLogic server console output (stdout) can be directed to the pod log, Added lifecycle support for servers and significantly more configurability for generated pods. Most of these features are the result of direct feedback and requests from our users. We have a list of additional requests, and starting with this release we are moving to a much shorter release cycle, where we will release small incremental features and updates frequently, rather than having large releases that are months apart.

This post explains how Fn users can use GraalVM and the benefits GraalVM and its Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler bring to Serverless Java functions. Introduction Fn Project is an open-source, container-native, polyglot FaaS (Function as a Service) platform. Fn is open-source, one can run Fn on-premises and/or in the cloud; running Fn on a laptop is also convenient for experimentation and development. Fn is container-native as it leverages Docker. In a nutshell, serverless functions are automatically wrapped into Docker container images (but advanced users can also provide their own Dockerfile!). Fn will take care of all the plumbing, from the creation of the function Docker image to the interaction between the function and the Fn platform to the scaling of this same function, etc. Finally, Fn is polyglot as it offers multiple FDKs (Function Development Kit) to easily write serverless functions using popular languages such as Java, Go, Node, etc. And given that Fn uses Docker under the hood, it is also trivial to add support for additional languages.

In my previous post I implemented a conversational UI for FlexDeploy with Oracle Digital Assistant. Today I am going to enrich it with Fn Flow so that the chatbot accepts release name instead of id to create a snapshot. Having done that the conversation will sound more natural: "Can you build a snapshot?" I asked. "Sure, what release are you thinking of?" "Olympics release" "Created a snapshot for release Olympics" she reported. The chatbot invokes Fn Flow passing the release name to it as an input. The flow invokes an Fn function to get id of the given release and then it invokes an Fn function calling FlexDeploy Rest API with that id. So the createSnapshotFlow orchestrates two Fn functions in a chain. The one getting release id for the given name with FlexDeploy REST API: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

Oracle has different tools and platforms for application development and deployment, as well as microservices on Kubernetes. It is possible to identify some relatively obvious components, along with others which are open-source projects supported by Oracle. For example: 1. Helidon.io Project 2. Oracle Kubernetes Engine. Based on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), it is basically an engine for Kubernetes cluster deployment. 3. Oracle Wercker. A continuous delivery tool for containers. It can be utilized to deploy containers in any platform supporting Kubernetes cluster. 4. GraalVM 5. Should we wish to go further, we could identify Oracle Fn Project and Oracle Functions as a Serverless platform for function execution. We have written some articles on that subject, which can be found here: http://oracleradio.blogspot.com In this series of articles we are covering the first three items in the previous list. We will be: a) Provisioning a Kubernetes cluster on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. b) Configuring the OCI Command Line Interface and obtaining the cluster configuration file in order to be able to control it through kubectl.

So I recently blogged (here) about the announcement of Helidon – the open source project from Oracle to provide a microservice app server that includes optional support for the J2EE Microprofile. This is the first of what will probably become a series of blogs about Helidon, particularly in its SE form (non J2EE Micro-Profile) as Micro Profile and the wider J2EE model in general will have been documented more widely. Hello World Helidon comes with a quick start example app implemented both in SE and MP forms.  It is worth following the very simple instructions provided by the Helidon site to instantiate both versions of the Hello World app as it provides a good way to start to understand the differences in the way Helidon can be used. The thing that really jumps out when you compare the code (for me at least) is the fact that the SE code being driven from values loading from configuration is more dynamic. The configuration can be sourced in a number of different ways from YAML files to etcd.So for our for first experiment we took the hello World app, and made the path /greet dynamic by loading the path from from some additional configuration.

Join Amis and Oracle for a Developer Meetup November 14th in Utrecht Netherlands GraalVM is several things, including a modern JIT compiler for the JVM and a generator of native images (to run applications as standalone executable - ultra small and super fast). It is also a Polyglot runtime engine that can run applications in many languages, such as Node and JavaScript, Python, Ruby, R as well as C/C++, Rust and Swift and of course JVM languages such as Scala, Groovy, Kotlin and Java. And not only can GraalVM run mono-lingual applications in each of these languages, it also does interoperability between these languages. Any language that GraalVM can run can invoke code written in any of the other languages. Java applications can leverage NPM modules, Node application can run Java libraries or Python modules or Ruby gems. Programming just became a new ball game. Productivity can increase through reuse, migrations between technologies no longer need to be big bang, micro service implementation can leverage multiple languages if that is beneficial. In this MeetUp we will explore these polyglot capabilities of GraalVM. Participants will learn about the various aspects and cross-language interactions and how to make use of them. In the hands-on workshop, attendees will walk through labs that demonstrate the intricacies of interoperability on GraalVM. We will approach polyglot programming from various angles: from Java as well as from Node and Python, leveraging JavaScript & NPM modules, Java libraries and R capabilities. And of course we will discuss about the ramifications. What can be the consequences - good and less good - of embracing polyglot programming? Attendees are expected to have at least programming skills in Java. Please bring your laptop with the ability to run a VirtualBox VM. We will provide snacks, dinner and drinks. Schedule: Thursday, November 14, 2019 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM Location: AMIS, Edisonbaan 15 · Nieuwegein For details please visit the registration page here. For additional local Meetups please see here.

Are you a RESTafarian? Or are you a GraphQL aficionado? Either way you'll want to listen to the latest Oracle Groundbreaker Podcast, as a panel of experts weighs the pros and cons of each technology. Representational State Transfer, known to its friends as REST, has been around for nearly two decades and has a substantial following. GraphQL, on the other hand, became publicly available in 2015, and only a few weeks ago moved under the control of the GraphQL Foundation, a project of the Linux Foundation. But despite its relative newcomer status, GraphQL has gained a substantial following of its own. So which technology is best suited for your projects? That's your call. But this discussion will help you make that decision, as the panel explores essential questions, including: · What circumstances or conditions favor one over the other? · How do the two technologies complement each other? · How difficult is it for long-time REST users to make the switch to GraphQL?

On my todo list, I found a topic which I wanted to blog about for a long time. The problem is how to create a ViewObject, based on EntityObjects, which builds a full outer join between two tables. For those of you who don’t know about full outer joins in SQL here is a short description from https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join_full.asp: The FULL OUTER JOIN keyword return all records when there is a match in either left (table1) or right (table2) table records. Note: FULL OUTER JOIN can potentially return very large result-sets! FULL OUTER JOIN Syntax: SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1 FULL OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name; There are not too many use cases where you need to use a full outer join, but they exist (e.g. https://searchoracle.techtarget.com/answer/Another-good-FULL-OUTER-JOIN-example or to compare two or more tables). Problem: How can a full outer join be created in ADFbc? I show how to create a VO based on Employees and Department EO using a full outer join on the department_id. This VO will return all departments with all their employees, departments which don’t have any employee and all employees who don’t have a department.

Did you ever wonder why Attributes Enum is generated by JDeveloper in Entity or View Row class? Attributes Enum holds a collection of attribute names and there is a set of static variables with attribute indexes. These indexes are used to locate attribute in getter/setter. Attributes Enum is a structure which is required for JDeveloper on design time to generate Java code. On runtime Attributes Enum is needed only as long as you are using a static variable index in the getter/setter.

How to easily manage translations in Oracle JET applications seems to be a topic often asked by the community. This guide provides a simple yet powerful methodology to accomplish this. Oracle JET components (based on Alta UI) fully support translations ‘out of the box’. What you need to do in essence is change the lang attribute on your <html> tag. This obviously does not mean that your own texts/components will be translated automatically, that’s what we aim to fix with this guide. In order to setup support for our own translations we need to set few things: 1. Add a flag pack on your project eg, css/images/flags In order to avoid performance issues prefer vector formats, minify and compress SVG assets, etc. In here we simply use png’s.

If you implement tables and using Knockout.js to push data updates from JS to HTML - probably you experience a situation when it doesn't work to push an update for one of the columns. I mean you could replace the whole observable array element - this would cause full row refresh. But visually this doesn't look nice and why to refresh the whole row, if only one (or few) element (-s) from the row must be refreshed. If you need to refresh a specific array element (or row column in other words) - you must define the value of that column to be observable. Refresh will be happening much more smooth, instead of refreshing whole row. See how fast Risk column value is changed after clicking on Process button: Table is implemented with Oracle JET table component.

This is a quick blog to show two techniques for adding calculated fields to an Oracle Visual Builder application. Both techniques do the calculation on the client side (in the browser). Keep in mind that you might want to consider doing the calculation on the back-end of your application and get the calculated value delivered directly to your client - in some cases this results in better performance. But sometimes you don't have access to modify the backend, or you can't do calculations there, so here we go: 1. For simple calculation you can just use the value property of a field to do the calculation for you. For example if you need to know the yearly salary you can take the value in a field and just add *12 to it. You can also use this to calculate values from multiple fields for example [[$current.data.firstName + " " +$current.data.lastName]] - will get you a field with the full name. 2. For more complex calculation you might need to write some logic to arrive at your calculated value, for example if you have multiple if/then conditions. To do that you can create a client side JavaScript function in your page's JS section. Then you refer to the function from your UI component's value attribute using something like – Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

SPS is a Mexican company based in Mexico City, this year we were awarded by Oracle as Partner of the Year in Latin America and Worldwide in Emerging Technologies for the implementation of a digital assistant, using oracle technologies. The solution was designed to support PROFUTURO's customer service, a private financial institution focused on the generation of funds for the retirement of Mexican workers who hire their services. PROFUTURO enabled a new digital communication channel for its customers in the face of a growing demand for its services, taking advantage of the use of technology, to ensure better quality, faster times and responsiveness in customer service. Achieving with it reduce the waiting time of attention to its users, in addition to allowing them to enable the capacity of self-service, for some of their most requested operations.   Use case. PROFUTURO is in a process of digital transformation and an important objective on this process was offering new customer attention channels and producing better experiences for their users. Their business is the management of retirement pensions. Their customers usually have financial doubts about contributions or retirement plans that can only be resolved by qualified personnel with specialized knowledge of the business. In addition, customers usually ask for information about their balance account and due dates, so they need to call to an agent who verify their identities and search information using his IT solutions. Previously, customers had to wait around 4 minutes to be attended at the call center with an average service time of 12 minutes because PROFUTURO has a limited number of specialized personnel for this task. In addition, your team only works during business hours and is not available to respond at all times of the day. In this context, PROFUTURO decided to take advantage of the emerging technology of chatbots to improve customer service by offering a new communication channel that responds immediately to their questions at any time of the day. To achieve this goal, SPS built a digital assistant and trained it using the knowledge of the PROFUTURO specialized staff. Now, this intelligent chatbot helps customers in a timely manner. Solution To create new successful digital products requires the application of other disciplines such as UX and Design Thinking. SPS applies these principles in all its projects, SPS supported PROFUTURO from the process of discovering innovation to the final implementation of the product. In addition, our company has experience in the use of ORACLE technology on business projects, so we were able to offer PROFUTURO the best practices in the implementation of chatbots technology. The appropriate application of the technology and the user-centered design allowed the successful implementation of PROFUTURO digital assistant. The implemented solution consists of a digital assistant with personality, PROFUTURO decided to create a character as part of its commercial strategy, to give the public a friendly and reliable face that would represent in turn the expertise and professionalism that characterizes its business, with the ability to answer initially 224 frequent questions and 6 transactional operations that make use of 11 rest services, it has the ability to understand colloquial user language and guide them through the flow of interactions on the way that the user can achieve an operation, ensuring a good user experience. To carry out the operations, a two-step verification security layer was added, which allows the user, in addition to security, the ability to perform operations such as checking balances, account statements, modifying personal information, generating a portfolio of clients and presenting complaints or suggestions about the service received in the branches. Transactional operations are connected to our on-premise infrastructure services, through rest services with adequate security to do this. As results of the implementation of the Digital Assistant PROFUTURO sees these positive outcomes: § They added a new and fresh customer communication channel, which helps customers regardless date or time, quickly and effectively, which means a positive experience for their customers and adds value to PROFUTURO business. § Customers can quickly get answers to the most common questions. If the Digital Assistant does not have the answer, he transfers the conversation to a human agent and this at the end of the user's attention generates feedback to the Chatbot which allows them to continue nourishing knowledge to their digital assistant. § Due to the chatbot support, the PROFUTURE call center reduces the workload which allows its specialists to focus on attention to issues that require more time and sensitivity. § Customers get a direct contact with PROFUTURO to report claims or suggestions even they can get custom information about their balance and due dates in a self-service way. § They added to their workforce a digital worker in the human care team (111 people). Currently, chatbot attends more than 5,500 interactions per day. As a result of this implementation, SPS has been recognized and awarded by Oracle as Partner of the Year in Latin America and Worldwide in Emerging Technologies, given the positive impact and results obtained for our client, which for us means great honor and achievement, in addition to give us the opportunity to continue demonstrating our commitment to innovation and digital transformation. We want to become the most advanced Oracle Digital Assistant implementer in Latin America, in addition to continue being leaders in other oracle technologies. Technologies. The technological stack that was used to address this problem included two Oracle solutions: Oracle Digital Assistant. - The heart of the solution, we take advantage of the facility to build complex dialogue flows, to cover the needs that the business processes mean, guiding the user through them in a safe, intuitive and simple way. Oracle Mobile Hub. - The brain of the operation, we take advantage of its integration with digital assistant and security to connect with the customer services that together with the dialogue allow its users to perform operations and complete tasks that were previously only possible through branches. Next Steps. In the coming months a new release of the Alba Chatbot (PROFUTURO Digital Assistant) will be published, considering the results of the latest usability tests with customers and impressions, they plan to add more transactional operations that allow them to offer greater self-service capacity to their customers. Also, they plan to create a new internal bot for resolving doubts and procedures in the Human Resources area, given that they observe the advantages and qualities that this type of technology can offer.   Why SPS believes this solution is better than other alternatives in the market? Digital assistant is a product that was born focused on the business sector, despite there are other tools in the market that seek to offer a natural language processing engine, digital assistant owns the Oracle experience factor creating business tools. By having tools and modules designed for the needs of the user, metrics modules, data analysis, feedback and implementation tips, which helps users without a technical profile can support and maintain the learning necessary for the success of the Chatbot. Something that we consider is a great differentiator with respect to other products is the ability to build the dialog flow, Digital assistant through its skills allows to do it in a more understandable and clear way, this provides the ability to expand the capacity of the solution in an organized and similar way, in addition to the simplicity of the existing native integrations to the most popular messaging services and their ease to achieve it. The support of having a broad and clear documentation and having the support of the development and support team of Oracle, allowed us to fully exploit the capabilities of the tool. In addition, ORACLE offers capacities and support that no other solution in the market offers. For more information about SPS please visit the website here. We want to promote your customer success!

Finally got a new cloud instance for the Oracle Digital Assistant Cloud Service, coming with the new version 18.4 and, by the looks of it, much has changed... From bots to skills and digital assistants In the landing page it is immediately visible the term 'bots' is no longer used. This is also in line with the idea of digital assistants, being multi purpose instead of a single use-case chatbot. The term bot from the previous version is renamed to 'skill' and new development options are available for combining multiple skills in a digital assistant, configure channels for your assistant to interact with users and a 'Store' feature, for specific functionality. Not clear what this store feature will hold and if it will be possible for us, bot developers, to publish reusable skills in the store, like a marketplace. Skills are the basics for a digital assistant Functionality which in the previous version was all available for a bot, is now present under 'skill'. Here you can define the Intents, Entities, a Dialog Flow and Functions etc which will help your assistant to perform a specific use-case aka skill , like the new example Wine Skill for ordering Wine. These skills can be combined in a multi purpose Digital Assistant together with some additional intents for this assistant, like greeting, help, exit etc. This is a good way to structure and reuse specific skills and dialog flows. However a digital assistant does not have it's own dialog flow. in stead these can be customized in the 'settings > configurations' panel where you can set parameters and labels (conversation parameters). The last i don't think will work very well for a multilingual assistant, since the lack of resource bundles for this configuration. Also what i noticed is they incorporated a form of version control for skills, allowing for multiple version development and a main version to be published and used in the assistants.

The webhook channels of Oracle Digital Assistant allows integrations with multiple environments, i recently blogged about how you could use your chatbot with telegram messenger. This also inspired me to research the possibilities to have my chatbot available with Google Assistant so it would be possible to talk to my chatbot using my google home mini. Working with Actions on Google Above shows my setup for combining my chatbot with the google assistant. it uses a webhooks messaging node.js server, which is configured as a webhook channel in Oracle Digital Assistant and uses actions on google to extend the google assistant. To integrate Google Assistant with your own application, start with defining an action on console.actions.google.com. Here you can create a new project as a container for your chatbot.

My personal definition for chatbots is that they are front-end intelligent systems that use artificial intelligence and machine learning to understand what a user wants and to gather all information required to complete a task. For this, the bot needs to engage in a dialog with the user, for which Oracle Intelligent Bots uses built-in components to render bot responses and to request user input. Where there is a front-end intelligent system, there must also be a back-end system that the bot calls to complete a task after the user intent is understood and all information is gathered or to query data for display. In Oracle Intelligent Bots, this remote data access is implemented through custom components you build with JavaScript and Node.js and that you declaratively add to a state in the bot dialog flow. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about custom components in Oracle Intelligent Bots. In the hands-on instructions, you are going to extend the pizza bot I explained how to build in the course of my three most recent Oracle Magazine articles, with a dynamic menu that reads its contents from a custom component. Understanding how to build custom components is a must-have skill for Oracle Intelligent Bots bot designers implementing custom business and data logic. So let’s get started. About Bot Custom Components As Figure 1 illustrates, a custom component service in Oracle Intelligent Bots is a Node.js-based REST service that hosts one or many custom components and that exposes two HTTP methods: GET and POST.

For Weblogic administrators and application devolopers, it may be desirable to view the JVM metrics from a managed server in OEM (CloudControl) and Java Mission Control. It is also possible to use the flight recorder with stored measurement data so that it can be analyzed at a later time. Issue: With a standard installation of Weblogic, the jvm metrics can not be retrieved or limited within Oem. Java mission control can not always connect using JMX. The following error message shown in Oracle Enterprise Manager: BEA-141277 managedserver-1.out:<May 30, 2018 9:07:44 AM CEST> <Warning> <Management> <BEA-141277> <The JMX MBean PlatformMBeanServerUsed attribute is true, but the Platform MBeanServer was created without the hooks for the WebLogic Server security infrastructure.

Yeah, I’ve said it. You can write lean (not as lean as Go, but still!) microservices in Java EE. If you’re still scrolling down, let me tell you something — Java is an awesome language. It has had a rough patches giving new developers a warm welcome, unlike Python or JavaScript; it’s awesome nevertheless. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 5 years, you might have heard one or more of the below buzzwords. 1. Reactive Computing 2. Microservices 3. Containerisation 4. Serverless I’m now going forward and coining a term — Teen-lang is a programming language which has been newly adopted into mainstream technology teams within the past 15 years. Almost all of the teen-langs have gotten onto the buzzword wagon and built frameworks around them — the ReactiveX project, the serverless framework, gRPC etc. now make it very straightforward to develop your micro-service in Go, JavaScript, Python etc. Let’s take a step back and look at Java — our uncle who lives in the farm and hates cellphones. Java has been a bit resistent to hop onto the wagon due to the large user-base of full-stack frameworks such as Spring/Springboot, Java EE implementations from various providers etc. Then Helidon SE happened. WTF is Helidon SE? Helidon SE is a microframework — a framework nonetheless. According to Oracle.

You must have heard about the new kid on the block––Helidon from Oracle. It is an open source Java framework that enables one to write, among other things, lightweight microservices using functional and reactive programming paradigms. One can use Helidon’s simple yet powerful core reactive web server to quickly build cloud native microservices. And if you like writing applications using the 12 factor methodology, Helidon has you covered. Helidon’s config component provides multiple options to load and configure your app — from loading properties or YAML files to loading from external sources like Git. Out of the box metrics and tracing you ask…you got it! In this article, I will take Helidon for a spin and build a sample CRUD microservice that will be exposed as a JSON REST API. We will then use jlinkto create a custom native image that can run our microservice. Native image obviates the need for a full blown JRE. Trimming the size of the runtime and reducing the attack surface are important factors in cloud deployments. Of course, there are some cons to this approach but let’s table that for another day.

Fn is a cloud agnostic, container native, serverless platform and as such, Fn leverages Docker extensively. In a nutshell, Fn will expose any piece of code as a Serverless function by turning it into a Docker image. All the heavy lifting of making the Docker image, invoking it properly with the right input, etc. is handled by Fn. As an Fn user/function developer, you don’t need to understand Docker and all its underpinning as Fn abstracts Docker away. Leveraging Docker also means that Fn can benefit from Docker’s rich ecosystem and tools. Dive is a simple tool that allows you to easily explore the different layers of a Docker image. It is a tool that can be very handy for some Fn users, e.g. users who are doing their own init-image, users who want to understand a function’s dependencies, etc. Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

This post demonstrates how to develop an Fn function that is triggered by a GitHub webhook and posts new release details to Twitter. It covers the general concept, code as well as configuration and deployment of your function. Once configured and deployed, the serverless function will be invoked in response to a new release in a GitHub repository (thanks to the webhook) and post its details (name, version and URL) to Twitter. If everything works out well, you should have a tweet similar to this one. Read the complete article here. Overview Webhooks in general are “… user-defined HTTP callbacks… usually triggered by some event…the source site makes an HTTP request to the URL configured for the webhook … ” As mentioned above, the goal is to send out a tweet in response to a new release in a GitHub repository. GitHub provides webhooks for such use cases using which you can tap into it’s events in (near) real-time — these eventsinclude actions like pull requests submitted or edited, a new release published to a repository etc. Read the complete article here.

Here and there we see numerous predictions that pretty soon chatbots will play a key role in the communication between the users and their systems. I don't have a crystal ball and I don't want to wait for this "pretty soon", so I decided to make these prophecies come true now and see what it looks like. A flagman product of the company I am working for is FlexDeploy which is a fully automated DevOps solutions. One of the most popular activities in FlexDeploy is creating a release snapshot that actually builds all deployable artifacts and deploys them across environments with a pipeline. So, I decided to have some fun over the weekend and implemented a conversational UI for this operation where I am able to talk to FlexDeploy. Literally.

At KubeCon in Seattle, Oracle announced Oracle Functions, a new cloud service that enables enterprises to build and run serverless applications in the cloud. Oracle Functions is a serverless platform that makes it easy for developers to write and deploy code without having to worry about provisioning or managing compute and network infrastructure. Oracle Functions manages all the underlying infrastructure automatically and scales it elastically to service incoming requests. With Oracle Functions, developers can focus on writing code that delivers business value. Pay-per-Use Serverless functions change the economic model of cloud computing. Customers are charged only for the resources used while a function is running. There’s no charge for idle time! This approach is different from the traditional one of deploying code to a user provisioned and managed virtual machine or container that is typically running 24x7 and which must be paid for even when it’s idle. Pay-per-use makes Oracle Functions an ideal platform for intermittent workloads or workloads with spiky usage patterns. Open Source Open source has changed the way that businesses, including Oracle, build software. Rather than building yet another proprietary cloud functions platform, Oracle chose to invest in the Apache 2.0 licensed open source Fn Project and build Oracle Functions on Fn. With this approach, code written for Oracle Functions will run on any Fn server. Functions can be deployed to Oracle Functions or to a customer managed Fn cluster on-premises or even on another cloud platform. That said, the advantage of Oracle Functions is that it’s a serverless offering, which eliminates the need for customers to manually manage an Fn cluster or the underlying compute infrastructure. But thanks to open source Fn, customers always have the choice to deploy their functions to whatever platform offers the best price and performance. We’re confident that platform will be Oracle Functions. Container Native Unlike most other functions platforms, Oracle Functions is container native with functions packaged as Docker container images. This approach supports a highly productive developer experience for new users while enabling power users to fully customize their function runtime environment, including installing any required native libraries. The broad Docker ecosystem, and the flexibility that it offers, lets developers focus on solving business problems and not on figuring out how to hack around restrictions frequently encountered on proprietary cloud function platforms.

Lately, I got a request to build a REST POST sample using an ADF REST DataControl. Well, here we go. First of all, we need a REST API which allows us to create data as this will be translated to REST POST call. I deliberately don’t want to use an ADF based REST service as there are samples available for this. Looking for free REST API services which allow creating data I found “reqres’ (http://reqres.in), a free ‘hosted REST-API ready to respond to your AJAX requests’. This service can be used to test REST calls using any verb you like. It promises to be online 24/7. Let’s start by creating a new ADF Web Application. If we would only test the REST service we could have created a custom application, but I want to show the viewController part too, so the ADF Web Application is just fine. I don’t show how to do this here as you can see it done here ‘Why and how to write reproducible test cases’ As we don’t use the ADFModel project you can delete this empty project if you like. After creating the initial workspace, we create a new project from the gallery as a ‘Custom Project’.

This article talks about programmatic approach of creating dvt components or charts, using Java objects, and more importantly, without ADF bindings. This is quite helpful when you deal with data which does not change often and can be pre-loaded into Java objects. The biggest advantage of this is of course, performance, since you do away with any database interaction. The sample code has a table based on Department pojo. Each department object has a List of Employee pojo. On table row selection, I retrieve the list of employees, and I use this list to create the Object array required for each chart type.

This week I was working on a task to integrate Jasper Visualize.js into Oracle ADF application JSF page fragment. I must say integration was successful and Jasper report renders very well in Oracle ADF screen with the help of Visualize.js. Great thing about Visualize.js - it renders report in ADF page through client side HTML/JS, there is no iFrame. Report HTML structure is included into HTML generated by ADF, this allows to use CSS to control report size and make it responsive. To prove integration, I was using ADF application with multiple regions - ADF Multi Task Flow Binding and Tab Order. Each region is loaded with ADF Faces tab: Read the complete article here.

At Oracle OpenWorld this year I did a session about the future of Oracle ADF, and one of the demos I did there was showing the powerful combination of Oracle ADF backend with a new Oracle JET UI layer and how Oracle Visual Builder makes this integration very simple. While we have many happy Oracle ADF customers, we do hear from some of them about new UI requirements that might justify thinking about adopting a new UI architecture for some modules. These type of requirements align with an industry trend towards adopting a more client centric UI architecture that leverages the power of JavaScript on the client. While ADF (which is more of a server centric architecture) does let you leverage JavaScript on the client and provides hook points for that in ADF Faces, some customers prefer a more "puristic" approach for new user interfaces that they are planning to build. Oracle's solution for such a UI architecture is based on Oracle JET - an open source set of libraries we developed and share with the community at http://oraclejet.org. Oracle Visual Builder provides developers with a simpler approach to building Oracle JET based UIs - for both web and on-device mobile applications. Focusing on a visual UI design approach it drastically reduce the amount of manual coding you need to do to create JET based UIs.

Starting from JET 6.0.0 Composite Components (CCA) are renamed to be Web Components (I like this new name more, it sounds more simple to me). In today post I will talk about Web Component writeback property and importance of it. All variables (observable or not) defined inside Web Component will be reset when navigating away and navigating back to the module where Web Component is included. This means you can't store any values inside Web Component, because these values will be lost during navigation. Each time when we navigate back to module, all Web Components used inside that model will be reloaded, this means JS script for Web Component will be reloaded and variables will be re-executed loosing previous values. This behaviour is specific to Web Component only, values for variables created in the owning module will not be reset. If you want to keep Web Component variable value, you will need to store variable state outside of Web Component. This can be achieved using Web Component property with writeback support. Let's see how Web Component behaves on runtime. Source code is available on my GitHub repo. Here I got basic Web Component included into dashboard module: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

  I posted in the past a basic introduction to filtering lists in Visual Builder - showing how to use the filterCriterion to filter the records shown in a ServiceDataProvider. Since I recorded this video, a few things changed, and I also saw several customers asking how can they use more complex conditions that involve more than one filter. In the video below I show how to define a basic filter with the latest versions (note that in VB 18.4.1 you no longer need to surround value with quotes ""), and then I show how to create a more complex condition that involves two filter criteria and set them to work with either an or or an andoperator. When you are using business components in Visual Builder, the filterCriterion is translated into a "q" parameter that is passed to the GET method (more about this q query parameter here). If you find that you are not getting the records you are expecting, check out the browser's Network tab to see what query parameter was passed in your call to the REST service (intro to this debugging technique here). As you'll see the filterCriterion contains an array of "criteria" so you can specify several of them. In the video I'm using an approach that Brian Fry showed me that gives you a more declarative way to populate the array dragging and dropping multiple "criteria type" variables into the same array.

Off Canvas layout is a common UI pattern for modern applications, especially on mobile devices. The concept is aimed at saving space on your page, allowing you to pop out a "drawer" of additional information. This helps reduce clatter on the main page but still provide access to important data when needed without leaving the page context. You can see an example of the runtime behavior at the top of this post. Oracle JET provides this type of "off-canvas" behavior as a built in component, and they have a demo of it working as part of the cookbook here. In the video below I show you how to add this to a Visual Builder application. As always - you can mostly just copy and paste code from the JET cookbook, but you need to handle some of the importing of resources a little different, and use the Visual Builder approach for adding your JavaScript function.

Oracle Developer Cloud Service is a hosted team development and delivery platform with all kinds of tools to help your team be more efficient.  In this post, I will cover how to use an SSH tunnel to connect to your database in a build job. This is current as of October 2018. Connecting to your database through an SSH tunnel is fairly simple and you won’t have to ask your network admin to open a port in your firewall and or load balancers. If you’re connecting to an Oracle Cloud Database it should be pre-configured to allow database connections through an SSH tunnel.  If not check with your server admin for assistance. If you’re not familiar with SSH tunnels you can find out more here. However, if you’re reading this post you probably just want to skip to the how-to so let’s get started. Configure your build job Open your Developer Cloud Service project, click the ‘Build’ tab and select the build you want to work with.
