Advanced URL Settings (Content Web Service)

To specify a service configuration page, administration configuration page, or shared user preferences page for this Web service:

1. Your Web service might require content crawler-specific configuration settings. For example, you might need authentication information to access the area of the content repository specified in the content crawler. If this is the case, you can include a page for these settings in the associated Content Crawler Editor. In the Service Configuration URL box, type the path to the configuration page.

2. Your Web service might require administrative configuration settings or user preferences that affect more than just this Web service. For example, you might have server settings that are stored in a remote database, or you might have several Web services accessing an application that requires user credentials. Rather than creating a separate configuration page for each Web service and requiring users to specify the same information multiple times, you can create a link to these shared settings, allowing users to specify the information only once for all of these Web services.
   
   Because the links will have the same name as the Web service, do one of the following:

• Give this Web service (and thus the link) a name that clarifies what the shared settings are for.

• Create a Web service that is not used for anything but these links.
  
  Note: In this case the Web service will not be used to create any associated objects, so you can use any URL for the URL settings on the Main Settings page.

You can specify the following types of shared settings:

• Administration Configuration URL: If you type a path in this box, a link displays in the Select Utility drop-down list (in the Administrative Objects Directory). Only users with activity rights to access Administration and Utilities can access this link.

• User Configuration URL: If you type a path in this box, a link displays on the My Account page to any user with at least Read access to the Web service. To send these settings to a Web service, specify the names of the preferences you want to send on the Preferences page of that Web service.

For more information on settings and preferences and how to implement them, refer to the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Web Service Development Guide, which is located on the Oracle Technology Network at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/bea.html.
