Ext GWT Basics

Over the past couple months, I have had the opportunity to have somewhat of a crash course in Ext GWT while helping to develop Function1’s new product FormBuilder. Thus, I thought it prudent to write about some of the basics of Ext GWT and pass on the knowledge.

As you all may know, GWT (Google Web Toolkit) allows you to write code for AJAX web applications in Java, and then compile your code into Javascript. “Sencha” Ext GWT takes that to the next level, and many components of FormBuilder take advantage of Ext GWT advanced features, such as high-performance widgets,...

You know that we at Function1 can help you out with all of your Plumtree/AquaLogic/WebCenter needs. That's not all we do though, and we hope to show you some of that on this blog.

Recently, we were building an employee review site for a client. We made the decision to build it in Ruby on Rails. If there is interest, I'll do a later post talking about what Rails is or it's merits. While we were developing the application, we were looking for a way to rapidly deploy changes we made to the application so the client could use it and stumbled upon...

Moving to ECM

Companies, similar to humans, have norms and habits and Function1 has one. Towards the last quarter of the year, the Function1 fraternity gets to be in teams of threes where each team is tasked with selecting a technology, researching it and, in an exotic company retreat during the month of January, presenting it to the other team members. Given that we come from different schools of thought, it isn't always easy to agree on a technology among the team members (though we are only three) but then democracy prevails (sort of) and the most senior person picks a technology! In the end, our...

A little research for your application to portlet(s) migration

Being asked to research application frameworks and then reporting back is a pleasant deviation from the usual grind of production deadlines and code review due dates. So, when the opportunity came up to do some heads-down review on what is available for a client looking to convert a rather extensive JavaServer Faces (JSF) application into portal ready portlet components for WebCenter Interaction (WCI) - we were giddy. (Not Christmas Day snow...

Some cool project

Posted by Hani Atalla on Sunday, October 3, 2010 - 21:17 Function1, Enterprise 2.0, Development Confluence Word Press Integration, General, Portal

It is a thrill being a team member on a project that includes creative team members who aren’t shy of exploring unique avenues to achieve the project’s objectives. Don’t get me wrong, we aren’t taking elusive risks with potential greater expense just to plug in our resumes that we ventured into bleeding edge technologies. The team’s objective is to push the Oracle WebCenter Interaction technology to its fullest potential to meet the project’s requirements. So what are we trying to do? Well, since this blog site is, for the most part, about Oracle WebCenter Interaction (you didn’t...

Import Content into Publisher

Posted by Hani Atalla on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 - 16:57 Development, Enterprise 2.0 Development, Publisher, Quick Code

These are exciting times with Aqualogic (ALI) and its direction as a Portal technology after Oracle's acquisition of BEA Systems. Some of our ALI clients have decided to migrate off ALI's Content Management System (CMS), Publisher, and adopt a different platform; e.g. Adobe Contribute. While others are embracing the new Portal CMS Web Center Interaction stack, more specifically, Universal Content Management (UCM) as a Publisher alternative as they migrate from their existing CMS; e.g. ...
