Portal Developer Kit (PDK) Issues and Workarounds

This section describes PDK related issues and their workarounds for Oracle9iAS Portal.

10.1 Content Area APIs No Longer Available

Content Area APIs available in 3.0.8.x and 3.0.9.x will not work with Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2. They are not available with this release.

Note: All content area APIs in the wwsbr_api and wwsbr_search_api packages have been removed.

Information relating to these APIs will be issued in a future release of the product.

10.2 Defaults of Portlet_Record Attributes Changed

The default value for these portlet_record attributes have changed from TRUE to FALSE:

This means that if the provider does not explicitly set these values next time the provider is refreshed, Oracle Portal sets these values to FALSE. Therefore, portlet information is returned from the portlet metadata repository rather than calling the provider, i.e. information returned during calls to call_get_portlet and is_portlet_runnable.

10.3 Issues Calling get_portlet_list in Multibyte Languages

There is a known issue when calling get_portlet_list in multibyte languages. If the 'description' field of the portlet_record exceeds 200 bytes, Oracle9iAS Portal fails to read the buffers.

10.4 PDK-Java Samples Do Not Support Multibyte Languages

In this release, the PDK-Java (JPDK) samples do not support multibyte languages. The portlets in these providers can still be viewed in the default language.
