How to develop Oracle Virtual Directory 11g Custom Plugin

There are times where out-of-box OVD functionality is no sufficient for client requirements. We may need to write some custom plugins which will extend the OVD functionality.

I'm about to write a post on this but it seems like there is excellent post from Oracle A-team.

And

Based on the requirement you may need to extend the BasePlugin class methods.

Example:

1. postSearchEntry() is the method implementation to manipulate any search results.

2. get() is the method if needed to manipulate the search criteria even before it talks to backend DS.

Hope this helps.
