Displaying BI Beans as Portlets

I have been using Oracle's BI Beans tutorials and samples, I
have successfully run and installed the majority of the samples,
but I am having difficulty with the Portal versions.
It appears the portlets are rendered using CABO, when I try to
run the portlets I get a the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
oracle/cabo/ui/collection/DataObjectListNodeList
I cannot find this class anywhere on the server, nor in any
jar/zip files. Does anyone know where to find this class, or if
it has been deprecated?

Display image in JSP Portlet

I create a JSP portlet. But The portlet can't display image(gif file, jpg file). I have modified the provider.xml and the following line is added:
<imageURL>URL_Path</imageURL>
But, the image still cannot be displayed.
How can I display image in JSP portlet?

Leo Cheung,
You could try the following :
1. Add a virtual directory path Alias 'imgf' in the Apache configuration file httpd.conf to load the image file. Add the following line under the alias section :
Alias /imgf/ "<your directory>\images/"
2. Place your gif/jpg files (eg., work.gif) in the images directory.
3. Use the IMG tag of HTML :
<IMG src="/imgf/work.gif" border=0 width=80 height=80> in the JSP file at the location where you need to display the image.
Hope this helps

Displaying external page as portlet

How do I display an external page like 'http://www.wsj.com" as a opened page in a portlet as opposed to a link?

You have 3 choices for doing this:
1) You can use the dump URL portlet that comes with the PDK.
2) If you want to show only part of a page (ie. get rid of advertisements and misc. other junk) you could build a PL/SQL portlet using UTL_HTTP to call the page, parse out the good stuff and display it as a portlet.
3) If you are know your user population and know that they are using IE or newer versions of Netscape, you can make an HTML portlet, and add the URL as part of an Iframe, for example:
<IFRAME src="http://www.yahoo.com" height=500 width=500></IFRAME>

Display PDF File in portlet!!

Hello
I need to do almost the same thing that David but my users will upload pdf files and I need to display the file inside the portlet folder when they click the name of the item I don't want this item to be display in the whole browser. Please tell me how can I do that.
Thanks in advance
Ana Maria

You can solve this by using an iFrame.
The Definition of the iFrame can be made in an HTML Portlet or create it in a Dynamic Page (prefered).
By giving the iFrame the name "_blank" every item that opens in a new page, the presentation will be shown in the iFrame Portlet, together with the default Acrobat Reader buttons.
This works best in IE5.5.
HTML Portlet:
<iframe src = "http://otn.oracle.com"
name = "_blank"
width = "100%"
height = "600"
frameborder = "0"
scrolling = "auto"
marginwidth = "0"
marginheight= "0">
sorry, your browser doesn't support iFrames
<ilayer src ="http://otn.oracle.com"
id ="_blank"
>
</ilayer>
</iframe>
Dynamic Page source:
<HTML>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>iFrame</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<ORACLE>
declare
l_src varchar(50);
l_name varchar(10);
l_border number;
l_width varchar(5);
l_height varchar(5);
l_scrolling varchar(5);
l_marginwidth number;
l_marginheight number;
begin
select :source into l_src from dual;
select :name into l_name from dual;
select :border into l_border from dual;
select :width into l_width from dual;
select :height into l_height from dual;
select :scrolling into l_scrolling from dual;
select :marginwidth into l_marginwidth from dual;
select :marginheight into l_marginheight from dual;
htp.p('<iFrame src = "http://'|| l_src ||'"');
htp.p('name = "'|| l_name ||'"');
htp.p('frameborder = "'|| l_border ||'"');
htp.p('width = "'|| l_width ||'"');
htp.p('height = "'|| l_height ||'"');
htp.p('scrolling = "'|| l_scrolling ||'"');
htp.p('marginwidth = "'|| l_marginwidth ||'"');
htp.p('marginheight = "'|| l_marginheight ||'">');
htp.p('sorry, your browser does not support iFrames');
htp.p('<ilayer');
htp.p('src = "'|| l_src ||'"');
htp.p('name = "'|| l_name ||'">');
htp.p(' </ilayer>');
htp.p('</iframe>');
end;
</ORACLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Giving the bind variables LOV's will complete this to a nice new component!
Good luck!

How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request

I wanted to be able to parse PHP functions to add more functionality to my Page. nothing fantasy, something simple like: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/phpsysinfo-dev/?template=classic
Where the realtime values are retrieved from the OS. this represent some kind of problem to me, I know how to do it from Shell Script, Perl or PHP, but not from PL/SQL.
Based on my experience using Oracle Portal, Portlets, I think we really can make use of the feature used in Portal called Web Clipping. [ This feature basically goes to some Site a retrieve part of the site to show in the current page]. Well the PL/SQL utility utl_http.request does something similar.
Make sure your request page does not retrieve some headers because that would cause a problem in your page and will not show up.
This is what I did:
<b> 1.- </b> Grant Privileges to execute [ <b> utl_http.request </b> ] to the owner of your schema.
login into the OracleXE / APEX as SYS then go to the Object Navigator, then click on packages, find the utl_http.request then click on it, later click on grant and select your schema owner for your applicaion.
<b> 2.- </b> Logout as SYS then login as your application schema user. just to test the functionality go to the sql command then enter the following command and then click run:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
If your output is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Oracle 10g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, The World's Largest Enterprise Software Company</title> <meta name="title" content="Enterprise Applications | Database | Fusio
<font color='blue'> Wow It worked </font>, this really could be useful !!, If not go back to step 1 and check your permissions to execute, or perhaps your Internet connectivity.
3.- Once we know the package works and we can retrieve content from the Internet. lets go to some of our pages add some HTML Region.
4.- Create an item and put into the new region. the source will be SQL, For the purposes of my test the query to the Oracle Page failed, so I decided to give a shot with a simple PHP script with no headers.
The internal server is: http://mytest.com/hello_world.php
Where the content of the hello_world.php is:
<?
echo '"<b> Hello World </b> ";
?>
This PHP works fine and display the basic Hello World. can be the same server or not, also noticed this can be another port perhaps using something like Ruby,Mason or Java.
<b> 5.- </b> Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
Apply the changes and run the page !!!
Excelent It worked as expected. now you know how use utl_http.request to create webclipping in your OracleXE / APEX from remote pages, or how to use it to parse the output from CGI, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Java pages.
Note: [ Just make sure to strip the headers or parse into a PL/SQL Procedure to clean then show ]
Best Regards <b> Dino </b>.

Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface.
It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
Maybe someone else knows
As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
The Output Message event number is 40
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.

Display software execution in portlet...

Does anyone know of a way to execute or display execution of a third party piece
of software in a portlet?
thanks
Alex

you can reference the file by using the folder name followed by the file name. You can point to the url either by adding an html portlet to your page and plugging in a anchor pointing to it or add a url item to a folder with the url of the file. Then render this folder as a portlet and plug it into your page. There are several other methods also depending on the exact results you are looking for.
Hope this helps

Display header of HTML Portlet

OS: Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP1
Portal: 3.0.9
I create a new page, and add a HTML portlet to it. Then I edit the page (via 'edit page') and choose not to display the HTML portlet header. This works perfectly.
But how can I show the header again? There is no customize link available anymore, and via 'customize' of the page I see that the header is already displayed.
Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance!
Joey
null

The best way to do this is to simply use the "Edit Defaults" link for your given HTML Portlet (this is displayed when you edit or customize the portal page in question.) In the "Edit Defaults" customization screen for the HTML portlet you can either enable or disable the display of the portlet header for your HTML portlet.
You'll always be able to access the "Edit Defaults" link for your HTML portlet from the edit or customize screens for the portal page.
Best Regards,
Harry

Help to display a Bean in a 9i form

Dear all,
I have created a java bean using jdev, the bean has a display field with a couple of push buttons on a Jframe. Does anyone know how to display that jframe on my form?
So far I have managed to deploy PJC beans by deploying them into a jar file under forms90/java and updating the formsweb.cfg. However a bean deployed into a jar does not seem work.
On my form I have the Bean area of the same size as the one defined with Jdev, a call to fbean_register and fbean_invoke.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.
Carlos.

This is on my Jar file. The jar is on the formsweb.cfg and it is on the forms90/java directory.

Can I choose to display or not a Portlet using an if satement ?

Can anybody help me with this situation:
we want a portlet to be displayed only if the result of an "if statement" is false,
else we do NOT want the portlet to appear on the page (the portlet is a Portal Form)
We've put the if statement on an html portlet
but we don4t know how to "call the form/portlet" if the if statment is false
What we are trying to do is have this form displayed on a given page,
when a user completes the form a cookie is written.
When the user accesses this page again, if he has the cookie, the form should not be displayed, instead he should see a notice saying "you've already completed the form"
Can this be done?
thanks,
Marcela

You will need a sim to activate the iPhone before you can use it as an iPod.
The sim does not need to be associated with an active account; if hte iPhone
is locked to a wireless provider, the sim must be from that provider.
You cannot use the iPhone without first activating it and you must use a sim to
activate the iPhone.

Portal 902 displaying Forms6i as a portlet

We have a Forms6i application that we would like to access via a Portal 9.0.2 page. The Forms6i application is published using the Forms Listener Servlet (patch 9).
We have a requirement that the user will not be able to see the URL to the Forms6i server. This will force the user to use the Portal login and not directly connect to external applications.
Ideally, I would like to have the Forms6i application appear in a portlet on a portal page. I have tried to set up a URL Provider to access the forms application. I can not get this method of accessing the forms application working.
Are there any other methods of accessing a Forms6i application that will not display the URL link to the Forms6i server?
I have tried using the External Application interface. This creates a new window that displays the URL to the forms server.

Hi Michael,
You can display your HttpServlet as a portlet using URLServices. If you are not aware of URLServices, URLServices helps JPDK Users in creating url-based portlets in any language without altering the server-side code !!
Hence, you can write your servlet the way you want and point the url of it in the provider.xml file for URLServices.
You can download the latest version of urlservices from http://portalstudio.oracle.com

How to display reports in same portlet when clicked on report links in a menu portlet

Hi,
I am not sure what forum I should ask this question. Anyway, I am trying in this forum.
Let me explain what I trying to do.
I have reports links as menu item links in a menu. I have published this menu to portal and added it to a page. I can now see the report links. If I now click on the report link, it opens the report in a whole window. How do I open the report in the same portlet? Is this possible to open the report in a different portlet at least?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
This is part of JPDK. You will have to install it. Which version of portal are you using? You can also try this out using
URL portlet which is available with webview in 309.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Can not display graph bean for specific chart types in Forms 11g Rel2

Hi all, I have this piece of code:
declare

begin
set_custom_property('control.BeanArea1',1,'CLEAR_GRAPH','');
v_delimitador :=',';

set_custom_property('control.BeanArea1',1,'ADD_DATA_TO_GRAPH','');
end;
The graph type is selected from a list item. It all works perfectly except when :control.v_tipo_grafico_clc takes the following values:
- VERTICAL_STACKED_LINE_GRAPH.
- HORIZONTAL_STACKED_LINE_GRAPH.
Is there a special requirement for this type of chart...? Something i missed reading...?
Best regards, Luis ....!

All graphs are working fine.
This is a list of graphs:

Sql to display portlets on a page

hi everybody,
can someone give me the sql code to use in a query that will display a list of portlets associated with a particular page?
thanks a bunch!

Hi Swapna, and welcome!
On the tree's SQL you can use two additional fields - A1 and A2 - to provide additional information. You can then amend the tree's template settings to position A1 and/or A2 wherever they are needed.
Update your SQL statement to:
SELECT ... ID,
... PID,
... NAME,
... LINK,
COMMENTS A1,
NULL A2
FROM ...... is whatever your existing fields are and COMMENTS should be replaced by whatever field name contains the comments you want to display.
Then, near the bottom of the tree definition, you will see two settings in a section headed "Node Text Templates". In both of these, you should see #A1# - this is the placeholder for the value in the A1 column. Remove these as they would just display as text on the page.
Then, in the final section, headed "Link Templates", update the Name Link Anchor Tag from:
<a href="#LINK#">#NAME#</a>to:
<a href="#LINK#" title="#A1#">#NAME#</a>This puts your COMMENTS field value into the title attribute of the link - this is the "tooltip" for the item.
click Apply Changes to save these.

Document Display Options from portlet

How do I gain access to the user setting for the "Document Display Options" from a portlet? I want my portlet to honor this setting when creating links for the user to click on such that they open in a new window or in the main browser window as specified by this setting.
This option is set on the Display Options page of the My Account editor.
thanx!

Instead of using
<f:selectItem> use
<f:selectItems>.
Pass list to this componenet. is this your question?
