Creating a portlet without WebLogic Workshop

Hi;
Are there instructions anywhere on how to create a portlet and run it under WebLogic - without using WebLogic Workshop? I am guessing that that might be a simpler approach.
thanks - dave

There really aren't - BEA wants you to use their Workshop tools because they hide all the supposed 'complexities' of their Portal framework nonsense from you.
That being said, I've managed to find a way to work without Workshop and to use Eclipse as our development environment. Granted, we're focussed on JSR-168 portlets with JSF, but we still have to play within their proprietary framework for the Portal itself. So far, we've been very successful, just a few minor issues regarding the admin tool, but it works. The trick is to create a project in Workshop once, then dissect it so you can import it into Eclipse and work with it the way you want. Its not impossible, but its not trivial either - it has taken me about 4 weeks to sort our how the Portal works.
We're using Portal 8.1sp5, with JSR-168/Apache JSF-Portlet Bridge, Spring, Hibernate with Eclipse 3.1/Maven 1.x.

  • How to create a servlet to be called by a portlet in weblogic workshop

    Hey,
    In weblogic workshop 8.1.4, I created a portal application. In the portlet(Java portlet- JSR 168), I would like to call a Java Servlet. In the workshop, it seems there is no way to create a Java Servlet.
    Does anybody know how to create a Java Servlet in the Weblogic workshop?
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    How about creating a java class and adding the proper imports, extends, methods etc. to make it a servlet.
    Do the the necessary changes to web.xml
    Then try to invoke it from the portlet's jsp of java code

  • Creating Java Portlets without JDeveloper

    I am using Oracle AS 10g, and Portal. I have looked at the Portal Dev Guide (9.0.4), and have not found any information on how to create and deploy Java portlets without the use of JDeveloper. I was able to do this using earlier versions of Portal and JPDK.
    Does anyone know of any documentation that could help me with this? Thanks.

    I think this is the article you're looking for: Packaging and Deploying Your Providers.

  • Create Web Services in WebLogic Workshop

    I'm new to WebLogic. Basically I need to create a web service to grab data from
    database, then to convert the data to XML, then to call a transformation control
    to map to another XML schema, then to build the XML into a web service and send
    out to client.
    All the web service examples are not using Workshop, thus I have no idea how to
    invoke a control (transformation control) within the code. Also, what are the
    differences to implement web services in ANT and in Workshop?
    Thanks,

    Hi Henry,
    Try taking a look at:

  • Inter Portlet communication without using workshop

    Hi
    Does any one have any luck trying to do inter portlet communication without using weblogic workshop IDE?

    Hi Curt,
    WLP's eventing system is designed such that portlet's don't have to care
    whether the source/destination is local or remote. If you have a portlet
    that fires/consumes events, when you create a proxy portlet on a
    consumer, the portlet on the producer will be able to fire and receive
    events without any changes to it. In this scenario, the proxy portlets
    work with the WLP's event runtime to collect and dispatch events on
    behalf of portlets on the producer. Going forward, WSRP 2.0 and
    JSR168-next's eventing models will be mapped to the same WLP event runtime.

    Thanks Subbu for your enlightenment here and in this group!!
    You mentioned my next quest, WSRP'ifying my portlet & IPC system.
    Can you suggest an WSRP example anywhere on the net or in bea?
    I guessing that suitability of IPC is also a function of whether the portlets are the remote portlets or the local portlets.
    Might a non-Bea IPC choice be usable within the local portlets, which are WSRP clients to stand alone remote portlets?
    I can imagine now that you mention it that the remote WRSP producer portlets can't use just any IPC facility and the events be pushed inband to the consumer portal...

  • How to create our own XML Schema (.xsd) in Weblogic WorkShop

    Hi,
    I am new to Weblogic Workshop.I want to create one xml schema with custom elements.
    when I am creating a file xml schema(.xsd).The file contains default namespace and no child elements in it.I don't know how to add elements to that file.
    please tell me how to add parent elements and child elements and also our own xml namingspace.

    Hi Sivaram,
    Unfortunately, the 8.1 IDE did not have special tooling for schema generation.
    You will need to create it by hand or using an external tool
    If you are using an external tool to create the file within the schema project, you might want to disable the schema project auto build, which will be triggered every time a file save takes place
    cheers

  • Can weblogic workshop be installed without weblogic server

    I was trying a custom installation to install weblogic workshop 8.1 without weblogic server. But, when I only choose weblogic workshop, it still picks the weblogic server to install.
    I want to understand can we just have weblogic workshop installed on various machines, so that we can build on various machines and finally deploy them all to a single server??
    Any help for me to understand this will be much appreciated.
    Note: I've installed a evaluation version of the software, not sure if that makes any difference..

    Has anyone else solved this problem? We too are experiencing the same problem.
    We are trying to build a .JWS file from within an ANT build script. The build script compiles the site into a single EAR file that should contain a deployable and usable JWS component, however it obviously does not.
    If anyone has a solution, please let us know. We're facing a code freeze on this project by this Friday and really need some help.

    From the error logs we can trace it out to the web project's Build.xml file ....I was getting a similar error and by commenting out the following lines in the web project's Build.xml I am able to run the build script correctly and get a EAR file. The lines are
    <!--

    Please check it now, also if any one can let us know the function or role played by the above lines it would be great. Also if there would be any future or unseen problems by commenting out these lines please do let us know...

  • How to deploy a JSR-168 Portlet in Weblogic?

    I am running WLS 8.1 with the advanced JSR-168 support installed (not yet running
    SP2). I have a JSR-168 portlet war that I had been testing in the JSR-168 reference
    implementation (pluto). Can someone please point me to the instructions on how
    to now import my portlet war into Workshop so that I can add it to my Weblogic
    portal?
    Thanks!
    -David

    You cannot simply "deploy" a JSR 168 portlet into Weblogic using a WAR file in
    my experience. This is what I did to achieve deployment of a JSR 168 portlet in
    BEA WLS 8.1SP2:
    * File | New | Portlet | Java Portlet
    * Just type in the name of your view class name when asked for it.
    This creates a "YourAppName.portlet" file, which I believe Bea requires for any
    Portlet in order to make it available for use in their portals.
    * Add your files (*.jar, *.java *.jsp, etc).
    * Modify WEB-INF/portlet.xml to include all required descriptor elements that
    you have in your WAR file (keep in mind that there is only one portlet.xml for
    all portlets in a single web application)
    I was unable to use redirects for some reason, but it worked fine with include.

  • Announcing: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper

    Just Released: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper
    A supplemental developer's guide has been published to help guide WLP 10.x customers that wish to use JSF as the web framework for building portlets on WebLogic Portal. This is a sizable document (150 pages) that covers a large number of topics. It also coaches developers on best practices and common pitfalls.
    Important: It also clarifies the supported configuration of JSF within Portal Web Projects. Workshop for WebLogic by default configures a web project in a configuration that is not supported by WebLogic Portal. The guide explains how to address this:
    * Change from the unsupported MyFaces JSF implementation to the supported Sun Reference Implementation (RI)
    * Change from the unsupported "client" STATE_SAVING_METHOD to the supported "server"
    The guide can be downloaded here:

  • Aqualogic WebLogic Workshop: XQuery resource cannot be found

    Hi
    I created a Proxy Service with WebLogic Workshop. I tested it without problems. After I shutdown the laptop and restarted it the references between the Proxy Service and the XQuery resources are lost. If I try to reference them WebLogic Workshop cannot find the resource even if they appear on the project.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Nestor,
    In Workshop, try to clean all the projects (Projects -> Clean all)

  • Create new portlet?

    On my development server, I was able to create a new portlet, which I configured to display the content from a .ASPX file. It displayed properly. Now, on my production server, I cannot create a blank portlet where I can edit the portlet to display the .ASPX file's content. Is there something I am missing here?
    My configuration is : Plumtree 5.0.3 with Collaboration Server 4.0, Content Server 5.0.4, WebLogic 8.1, with SQL Server 2000 (SP3) on Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    So you have an ASPX page all ready to go.  I assume you know the URL for the ASPX page.  Let's say its http://www.myserver.com/companyname/myapp/mypage.aspx.
    In the portal, you need to create three things to get this to work:
    1. Remote Server
    2. Web Service - Remote Portlet
    3. Portlet
    You then need to:
    4. Add the Portlet to a page
    1. Create a Remote Server
    Go into a folder in Administration, then choose &#034;Create Object&#034; - &#034;Remote Server.&#034;
    Put http://www.myserver.com/companyname as the &#034;Base URL&#034;.  Click &#034;Finish&#034;, give it a name, such as &#034;MyCompany Remote Server.&#034;
    2. Create a Web Service - Remote Portlet
    Still in Administration, choose &#034;Create Object&#034; - &#034;Web Service - Remote Portlet.&#034;  Click the Browse button and find the Remote Server you just created (you did give it a descriptive name, didn't you?).  In the &#034;Portlet URL&#034; box, fill out the rest of the URL to the ASPX page.  In our example, it would be &#034;myapp/mypage.aspx&#034; (without the quotation marks).  For now, that should be enough.  If you want to add preferences or help pages or other things to your portlet, you can set more stuff inside here.  Click &#034;Finish&#034; and give the Web Service a Name, such as &#034;MyApp Web Service.&#034;
    3. Create a Portlet
    Still in Administration, choose &#034;Create Object&#034; - &#034;Portlet.&#034;  Choose the Web Service you just created, decide whether the portlet should be a &#034;Narrow&#034; or a &#034;Wide&#034; portlet (Narrow portlets can be placed on Wide columns on a page, but Wide portlets cannot be placed on narrow columns on a page).  Click &#034;Finish&#034; and give the Portlet a name, such as &#034;MyApp Portlet.&#034;
    4. Add the Portlet to a Page
    At this point you have created the portlet.  The next thing you will want to do is to view it.  To do this, you have to add it to a page - either a MyPage or a Community Page.  Let's put it on your MyPage.  Click on &#034;My Pages&#034; in the top-left corner of the browser and go to one of your My Pages.  Click the &#034;My Pages&#034; tab again, and this time choose &#034;Add Portlets.&#034;  Find the Portlet you just made, check the checkbox next to it's name, and click &#034;Finish.&#034;  You should now see the ASPX page in your MyPage.
    That's all there is to it.  You can get fancy and do all sorts of extra stuff inside the Web Service, but if all you want to do is display a ASPX page (or for that matter, any URL that returns HTML content), this is all you have to do.

  • Integration 10g silent installation will not install WebLogic Workshop

    Hello,
    I am attempting a silent installation, using wli10gR3_win32.exe. I have created a silent.xml using the information on this page: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13214_01/wli/docs85/install/silent.html.
    I have used that page in the past to successfully create silent installations for versions 8 and 9 of Weblogic, but for version 10g it is not quite working as advertised. I have not found instructions for a silent installation for 10g.
    My silent.xml file contains the following line:
    <data-value name="COMPONENT_PATHS" value="WebLogic Server|WebLogic Workshop|WebLogic Integration|WebLogic Portal" />
    When I run the package with this line, an error is produced in the log file stating that WebLogic Workshop cannot be found.
    When I remove the WebLogic Workshop part of the line then Server, Integration, and Portal all install without errors. Unfortunately, Workshop was requested as well.
    When I run the installation manually, I am offered Workshop as one of the products.
    If somebody can point me to the correct installation documentation or provide the correct syntax for the silent.xml file that would be swell.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    I had faced the same issue today, So I had removed workshop and the installation was successful. But the weird thing is after the installation I could see the "workshop" was installed under BEA_HOME.
    Did any one face the same issue?
    Thanks.
