Security Vulnerabilities in Apache FOP and Apache Batik affect IBM WebSphere Portal

14 Aug, 2017

XML external entity (XXE) security vulnerabilities in Apache FOP and Apache Batik affect IBM WebSphere Portal. Apache FOP could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an XML external entity (XXE) error when processing XML data. By using a specially-crafted SVG file. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information or possibly cause a denial of service. Read the security buletin here(https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22006871&myns=swgother&mynp=OCSSHRKX&mync=E&cmsp=swgother--OCSSHRKX--E)

Generate pojo from JSON in one click.

07 Aug, 2017

There are several ways to parse JSON with java. I am working on a project with IBM Watson Conversation and Discovery and we need to creat a parser for JSON objects when we crawl an endpoint. I found this site -> http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/. There you only need your JSON object or SCHEMA to genereate the classes.

Please deploy it ASAP”. This session is designed to help provides some guidance on how sysadmins should think about managing Dockerized applications in production.

WebSphere Portal V8.5 and Oracle Data Guard

29 Jun, 2017

From IBM L3 support: "WebSphere Portal does not explicitly claim support for Oracle Data Guard. It is our understanding that Oracle Data Guard is an extension of the Oracle Database product. We do support the Oracle Database as isted in our "Supported software" documentation. Unless Oracle Data Guard limits functionality or impacts the behavior of the Oracle Database product in an intransparent manner or requires changes to the Portal database object definitions, we do not see a reason why WebSphere Portal would not work in that setup. In other words: If the database system, that is used by the customer, behaves like a regular Oracle Database, it should work. In case an issue is observed, w

Collecting Data: Read First for WebSphere Portal 8.5 and 9.0

Watson Conversation - Gathering information with slots

23 Jun, 2017

Add slots to a dialog node to gather multiple pieces of information from a user within that node. Slots collect information at the users' pace. Details they provide upfront are saved, and the bot asks only for the details they do not. You can think of slots as the chat bot version of a web form in which users must fill out required fields before they can submit the form. Similarly, slots prevent the flow of conversation from moving on to a new subject until the required values are provided.
