BI Publisher and PCL output format with FOP

I've made tests with Oracle BI Publisher and Apache FOP 0.93 in order to adress a specific need (PCL output)

My first tests where not sucessful, BUT, with minor modifications in the FO object generated by BI Publisher, it's possible to use FOP.
The main technical stopper is :
region-body must be declared BEFORE region-before and region-after in the simple-master-page container.

After a manual switch, i tried the Apache FOP program with the -R parameter (relaxed validation wich ignores xdfo extensions) and a PCL or TXT output format.
The result is OK, despite some minors display problem.

Template rtf:

Utilisation du renderer FOP d'Apache
L'idée est d'utiliser BI PUblisher jusqu'à la production de ce que l'on appelle un objet FO (description du rapport avant sa restitution sur une imprimante ou pdf, ou autre).
Le moteur FOP de BI Publisher n'envoie pas directement le résultat sur une imprimante laser PCL ou un fichier auu format TXT.

Oracle Documents Cloud Service - Using Upload File REST API

If the Upload File sample given in ODCS documentation is used "as is", we get a http 400 error. The syntax is strict and every blank line must be empty (no space character for instance). If we cust and paste the sample, there are residual space characters which must be removed. So, use this pattern instead: -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="jsonInputParameters" { "parentID": " " } -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="primaryFile"; filename="example.txt" Content-Type: text/plain Hello World! -----1234567890-- instead the original one: -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="jsonInputParameters" { "parentID":"FB4CD874EF94CD2CC1B60B72T0000000000100000001" } -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="primaryFile"; filename="example.txt" Content-Type: text/plain -----1234567890-- Tests can be...

Oracle Sites Cloud Service - Adding authentication to a site

With Oracle Sites Cloud Services, access to any site is Public, by default. If you have to add authentication, there is a very simple way to achieve it: First, we assume that authentication will be against the existing Identity Domain provided with the tenant. In a dedicated page of a site, called Login for instance, we add an App component which embeds an URL to any folder of Documents Cloud Service. ie: App URL = https://documents.XX.oraclecloud.com/documents/ embed /home/nameasc Note that the URL will be called with the EMBED keyword . Then we add the App component is a region, and we setup a height=1 and a width=1 (almost invisible). That's all. Each time a user will navigate to this custom Login Page, and if the user is not yet authenticated, a new page will splash on the screen, asking for credentials. Once login and pasword are provided by the user, the page disapears and return to custom Login page. Optionnaly it's possible to add a dedicate...
