Export to Excel in Oracle WebCenter Sites

 

Following demonstrate exporting content present in a Map object to Excel sheet using java.

 

Create a Template in JSP

Insert the following code in ExportToExcel.jsp Template  

<%@page import=”java.io.FileNotFoundException”%>
<%@page import=”java.io.OutputStream”%>

Useful POI Classes:

Apache POI main classes usually start with either HSSF, XSSF or SXSSF.

  • HSSF is the POI Project’s pure Java implementation of the Excel ’97(-2007) file format.
    e.g. HSSFWorkbook, HSSFSheet.
  • XSSF is the POI Project’s pure Java implementation of the Excel 2007 OOXML (.xlsx) file format.
    e.g. XSSFWorkbook, XSSFSheet.
  • SXSSF (since 3.8-beta3) is an API-compatible streaming extension of XSSF to be used when very large spreadsheets have to be produced, and heap space is limited.
    e.g. SXSSFWorkbook, SXSSFSheet.
  1. Run the Template
  2. Open the browser.
  3. Enter the below URL to run the template:

localhost:port/cs/ContentServer?pagename=SiteName/TemplateName
For instance: (“http://localhost:9080/cs/ContentServer?pagename=TrainingSite/ExportToExcel”)

Error Logging & Debugging in Oracle WebCenter Sites

Adding Dynamic Loggers
To add dynamic loggers, add the following code to log4j.properties file.

Backup Files for sites.log file

Configure log4j
1. Setting up Apache log4j:

If WebCenter Sites was not set up to use log4j during the upgrade process, you can manually switch to log4j by configuring the commons-logging.properties and log4j.properties files in the WEB-INF/classes directory.

To set up log4j:
In the commons-logging.properties file, update the following property to set log4j as WebCenter Sites’ logging system:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log= org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger

2. Viewing Loggers:

Loggers that are registered in the log4j.properties file, in the WEB-INF/classes directory. The file is read only on system start up. If, during runtime, you make changes to the log4j.properties file and save them, your changes will not be displayed in the log4j Configuration form. They will be applied and displayed when WebCenter Sites is restarted.

Note: The futuretense.txt file is typically located in the WebCenter Sites installation directory.

Loggers that are detected during runtime. The loggers are detected when:

  • System features or add-on components are accessed for the first time.
  • The loggers are added to the system manually by developers using the Add Logger.

To view loggers
On the Admin tab, expand System Tools and double-click Configure log4j.
The list of loggers with explicitly assigned levels is displayed.

Creating Webroot for Web Center Sites

Below is a step by step illustration of how to create webroot for Web center Sites!

  • Go to the Admin Interface i.e Admin>WebRoots. Out of the box you will find the application deployed in the webapps>cs. Here I am building it for FirstSite(FSII)

Step 1

 

  • Add the URL Pattern, For that in the Admin Interface, goto>Admin>Asset Types>Page>URL Pattern>Add New

Step 2
Add the pattern as ${f:spaceToUnderscore(name). toLowerCase()}.jsp , this will be available on the right tab under functions.

 

  • Generate the URL in the contributor Interface: Go to the Home Page asset>Clicki Edit and then Enter the URL

Step 3

 

  • Next come back to the Admin Interface, Go to Admin>SystemTools>URL: You will find the URL that has been created. Make sure WebRoot is created

Step 4

 

  • Next configure URL rewrite filter, In my case the application is already configured, If it is a new application then configure it in the section mentioned in Italics <init-param> <param-name>SitePrefix</param-name> <param-value>fsii,avi</param-value> </init-param>

Step 5
