Out of the box one of the attributes is the wcSessionTimeoutPeriod responsible of the session timeout.
The access to those attributes can be done using following:
- EL Expression
- Java.
How can be accessed using EL Expressions?
#{WCAppContext.application.applicationConfig.customAttributes['wcSessionTimeoutPeriod']}
How can be access from Java? from a Java Servlet deployed to WebCenter Portal (formerly Spaces)?
In this case the EL Expression can be invoked using Java. However, how can be accessed from a Servlet deployed to WebCenter Portal?.
Using following snippet of Java code allow to access all Global Custom Attributes Java:
...
import oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.WebCenterException;
import oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.internal.model.WebCenterUtils;
...
try {
String timeout = WebCenterUtils.getAppCustomAttributeValue("wcSessionTimeoutPeriod");
System.out.println("Timeout: " timeout);
} catch (WebCenterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
...
In order to use it add following Libraries as dependencies:
- WebCenter Spaces Model
- WebCenter Spaces Client
