WebCenter Framework
Oracle WebCenter Framework enables the rapid creation of a new generation of context-centric, composite applications. The Framework augments the JSF environment by providing additional components, integration, and runtime options. WebCenter Framework breaks down the boundaries between Web-based portals and enterprise applications; in essence, integrating capabilities historically included in portal products directly into the fabric of the JSF environment. > Learn more 
Oracle WebCenter Framework breaks down the boundaries between Web-based portals and enterprise applications. In essence, the WebCenter Framework integrates capabilities historically included in portal products directly into the fabric of the JSF environment, specifically, the ability to bind portlets and customize the application at runtime. A complete, standards-based portlet development environment and business user tools support rapid creation of JSR 168-based portlets and deployment of WSRP 2.0-based portlet producers. Content is easily integrated and published using data controls built to the JCR/ JSR 170 standard. JCR adapters are provided for Oracle Content Database, Oracle Portal, and the file system, and optionally available for Documentum, Sharepoint, and Lotus. In addition, all of the framework pieces are integrated into Oracle JDeveloper and implemented as an extension, providing unified access to the components as the application is being built. |

Content Integration
Content is easily integrated and published using data controls built to the JCR/JSR 170 standard. Content repositories supporting the JCR standard can be configured, and adapters are available for Oracle Content Repository, Oracle Portal, file systems, and leading third party content management systems such as Documentum, Microsoft SharePoint and Lotus Notes. WebCenter Services includes an adapter for Oracle Universal Content Management (UCM),
the industry's most unified enterprise content management system that enables organizations to deploy multi-site Web content management, document management, digital asset management, and records and retention management solutions on a single platform. > Learn more |

Portlets and Interoperability
A complete, standards-based portlet development environment and business user tools support rapid creation of JSR 168-based portlets and deployment of WSRP 2.0-based portlet producers is included with Oracle WebCenter Services. The portlet bridge allows application developers to quickly and easily expose their existing JSF applications, Oracle ADF applications, and task flows as JSR 168 portlets. > Learn more
Oracle WebCenter Spaces is a prebuilt application that exposes functionality from the WebCenter Framework, Services, and Composer in a configurable work environment that enables individuals and groups to work and collaborate more effectively. The application is a self-service solution for managing individual and group interactions. Spaces provides intuitive tools that allow non-technical members to come together and share information by adding pages and resources such as documents, charts, reports, portlets, business applications, Web 2.0 services, and other ADF resources or views. Spaces includes both Personal Space, which brings business context to the end user with a focus on collaboration and social networking, and Group Space, which brings together groups of users with a common objective: to resolve a business problem or share an area of interest. Spaces is not part of Technical Preview 4. |

Customizable Components
Customizable components
are JSF components that act as containers into which developers can drop any other Faces view component or portlet. With these capabilities in place, users can customize virtually any JSF page by minimizing/maximizing, hiding/showing, or moving any component on the page. Customizable components empower end users to manipulate and change their applications to suit their work habits and specific needs. > Learn more |

Web 2.0 Services
Web 2.0 is transforming the Web into a people-driven interaction environment. Working with others is a primary focus of many of today's knowledge workers. Being able to find and contact the right person in context of the current task is essential to eliminating one of the more common inefficiencies in today's work world. To support this goal, Oracle WebCenter Services includes the following tools:
