Data Presenter
One of the most useful features of Webcenter Portal is Data Presenter. Data Presenter allows developers/administrators to create data controls at runtime, and they are readily and immediately available for application usage, without any restart of servers. One more advantage of Data Presenter is ability to create task flows at runtime. Both data controls and task flows can be created at runtime in the Webcenter Portal PS7, with no coding needed in JDeveloper. These newly created data controls can be used in the task flows to create UI and these task flows can be reused wherever needed across the application.
This is useful for Developers, Technical Leads and Technical Architects as earlier, they need to take a decision to create custom task flows separately in JDeveloper and deploy them on Weblogic and use them inside the Webcenter Portal. This is highly useful for developers and Webcenter administrators due to easy learning, and saves significant effort. All this requires quite an effort and is little cumbersome to set it up at the beginning. Data Presenter marks this problem and provides solution to this in quite good way.This article provides an overview of WebCenter Data Presenter and hands-on instructions, steps to implement above functionality.
