Shibboleth Weblogic SAML2 identity provider making it work [Work in progress...]

I am busy configuring a Weblogic Service Provider that talks to a Shibboleth implementation using SAML2 and this is a log of the problems (mostly with me) I have encountered:

Problem number 1) Unsupported binding type received: urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:profiles:AuthnRequest

 For this I had to remove the entry <SingleSignOnService Binding="urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:profiles:AuthnRequest" Location="https://server/idp/profile/Shibboleth/SSO"/> in the metadata file I received from my idp and re upload to the  Identity Provider Partners  section in weblogic.

This was the stack trace:

    Have you gotten Weblogic to work with Shibb as SAML 2 id provider? We are trying to do same, particularly to be able to implement authorization group assertion.

    Did you have to change the IdP or the weblogic config?

    Just reloaded the certificates we produced and reloaded in Shibboleth. Then took the IDP config file made the change and reuploaded in weblogic

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]

ADF: LOV Description instead of code

I keep on forgetting how to do this so this is a note to self in terms I understand (ie pictures): Add the related entiy object to yours (in the example we are adding RegionEO(list of values) to CountryEO) Now add the RegionName field from the EO and a transient attribute (I named mine RegionNameLOV) Make the transient attribute updateable and base it on the expression RegionName (the description you wish to display) Add a list of values to RegionNameLOV and map BOTH key to parent fk (region id here) AND RegionName to your transient coulmn (RegionNameLOV).  Map the transient as an Input text with List of Values. Then just drag the lov item onto the page (RegionNameLOV)
