The previous releases of Oracle WebCenter contained two Web 2.0 services: Discussions and Wiki. The 10.1.3.4 release, officially called Oracle WebCenter Additional Services 10g (10.1.3.4), contains the enhanced versions of Wiki and Discussions, and packs blogging capabilities as well (download discussions | download wiki and blog).
A nice touch to the release is that we have sample portlets available, built and tested against WebLogic Portal. The sample portlets are designed to allow you to easily connect to the Wiki, Blog, and Discussion Servers. Once connected, you can navigate, create new blog entries, wiki pages, and discussion forum threads (wiki and blog samples download | discussion samples download).
These are the first in the series of the WebCenter Web 2.0 services that are certified on WebLogic Server 10.3. Going forward, the rest of the WebCenter 11g stack is planned to be certified on the WebLogic Server as well.
For more information, refer to the OTN page.

The other day it took me almost an hour to figure out what the UCM (fka: Stellent) WebDav URL is and how to access it from XP. Frustrating… Here it is for everybody’s benefit, including myself – for future reference.
The other thing I keep forgetting is how to define a WebDav connection under XP. Instead of simply selecting Tools > Map Network Drive in Windows Explorer (which doesn’t work for WebDav), follow these steps:

Tom Quigley just published an excellent viewlet on the brand new Ensemble 10.3. His demo highlights how straight forward it is to inject content into any web application.
Here is a brief summary of Ensemble:
Ensemble is a reverse proxy through which end users view Web applications. For example, a customer might control access to and collect analytics on their wiki by proxying it through Ensemble. They might also use Ensemble to inject existing portlets or widgets into new Web applications.
When injecting content into new applications, Ensemble users can choose between JavaScript Injection, which is widely useable but requires changes to the application source code, or Web Injection, which allows source code to remain untouched. Web Injection can also be used to tweak styles, fix JavaScript collisions, and more.
