ADF and WebCenter Mashup: Publishing Google Gadgets with Ensemble

With Tom Quigley we just published a new demo showcasing what it takes to publish ADF or WebCenter applications as Google Gadgets. The demo walks you through the simple steps of building an ADF application, exposing it as a Google Gadget with Ensemble, and consuming the gadget in iGoogle.

Ensemble 10.3 Released – Overview Demo

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.
