In this post, I will go over the basics of two features in WebCenter Content (WCC) - Profile and Folder - and then talk about their own design considerations and usages, and finally discuss their differences. In WCC, the Profile (a.k.a metadata profile or content profile, to differentiate from user profile) is an approach of metadata modeling. The profile is a powerful tool that can be used to manage the metadata fields to achieve efficient processing of content items, such as check-in, update, search, etc. Essentially, content profiles consist of set of rules that manage the display of the metadata fields of content items. Through content profiles, you can control what metadata fields should be displayed/hidden, required or not, read-only/editable, initialized with default value or not, and grouped based on the action to the content – whether you are viewing the content information, checking in, updating or searching. Profile provides the capability to customize the user ...

Today, by using a simple example, I am going to demonstrate on how to build a concurrent web page in ADF using Jdeveloper. From time to time, I see requirements from various contexts with such needs to build concurrencies on web pages. The performance can be greatly benefited since multiple processes are executed at the same time so that the response time is greatly improved. It's also very suitable for the use cases that the processes are not associated with any user interface interactions, such as sending an email to user after performing some action but the web page does not need to know if/when the email is sent. Such processes can be executed in a separate thread from the main thread dealing with the web page rendering and other user interactions. Even if you don't have hard requirement on such concurrency needs, why waste it? Nowadays, all servers are built with multi-core computation capabilities and designed for parallel processing. In years the speed of the CPU is n...
