Steps to use OBIEE JSR168 Portlets in WebLogic Portal

Someone told me they were having trouble getting the OBIEE JSR 168 portlets to run in WLP. Since WebLogic Portal has excellent support for all published portal standards, I figured that the best thing to do is provide illustrated,  step-by-step instructions.

Deploy the JSR168 WAR to the WebLogic Server


Add the JSR168 WAR as a Shared Library to the Application Workspace

Add Library Reference To Weblogic.Xml In The Portal WEB Project


<wls:library-ref>

<wls:library-name>sawjsr168portlets</wls:library-name>

</wls:library-ref>

Add <wls:specification-version> and <wls:exact-match> nodes if required.

Un-check Build Automatically, Clean The Workspace Without A Build And Exit Workshop

Restart workshop, build, deploy.

Log-in To Portal Admin Console


Go to Portal\Portal Management. The portlet will be listed for use on streaming portals.

    Had to add a first step, which is to deploy the JSR 168 portlet. Never occurred to me that someone might expect it to work without being deployed, but then it is easy to forget to obvious, so glad it was pointed out to me.
