When asked about public-facing, real-life examples of Oracle WebCenter in action, Oracle has for the last couple of years presented universities (Université Laval, Texas A&M University). But it is now rumored that BAE Systems‘ site is running Oracle WebCenter.

As it should be, you can’t tell from looking at the site (which looks cool, by the way) - it has been stripped of the typical URL parts that give off WebCenter/ADF applications. But the curious reader can examine the page source and find hints like AdfLogger.DEFAULT_LEVEL=AdfLogger.OFF and Created by Oracle ADF (ADF Faces API - 11.1.1.5.0 …)

Another interesting development that shows ADF and WebCenter moving from internal sites and onto the wider web is the improved web crawler support. In 11.1.1.6, you can programmatically detect a visit from a web crawler and generate special, spider-friendly content for it (Google, Bing and Yahoo supported). See the JDev 11.1.1.6 New Features document for more.
