Extending/Cutomizing Portal Admin App

Hi,
I would be deeply appreciative if anyone can point me to customizing the Portal
Admin App. Specifically I have a "create portal" use case, which requires just
the user name, password and a portal name. the portal is to be preconfigured with
a set of default portlets and l&f. Would it be wise to directly use the Managers
used in the portal app (for instance PortletDefinitionManager)? What type of control
should I use? Would a session facade be the right thing to use? Thanks a lot for
your input
regards
Suhail

Hi Chris,
I have exactly the same problem. I want to create/modify/delete a desktop/book/portlet
on the fly that is without using the weblogic workshop. An Admin user must be
able to create this using our custom created wizards. Obviously the base portal
would be created in the weblogic workshop. But then, the admin user should be
able to create desktops and portlets/pages and manage portlets on the pages.
Is it safe to use EJBs in com.bea.netuix.application.manager package. Is there
any documentation available about the package (best practices, how to guides,
etc)?
I would really appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks,
Kamlesh

do you
A) want users to be able to create customized version of a portal that
and admin
or developer has already defined.
B) expose the API for creating portals/desktops to the end users.
the APIs are there for your use but i would recommend different things
based oiff
what it is you are trying to do.

Weblogic Portal Admin Console is not displayed after the ear deployment

Hi
There is a Weblogic portal application deployed in the Weblogic Server 9.2 mp3 . The application is fine , when opened with the browser, but the problem is the portal admnistrator console is not opened.
The application is deployed in a clustered environment with an Admin server and one managed server. The domain is configured for Production Mode and running in an Solaris environment.
I had another similar kind of domain where the application is running fine and the weblogic portal admin console is also fine.
The following difference is observed in both the server logs. I see that there is some problem with the initialization of /WEB-INF/beehive-netui-config.xml. The log continues with the messages like "< Pushing body text '" etc.

Portal Admin Tool & order of Authentication Providers

For our app, we use two LDAP authentication providers that point to different LDAP
repositories.
Both of them have been configured to have the JAAS flag - OPTIONAL. When the order
is ProviderA and ProviderB (in WLS Console), the authentication works in Portal
Admin Tool. But when the order is reversed to ProviderB and ProviderA, it throws
profileNotFound error and the Portal Admin Tool bombs.
Since both of the providers have been configured to OPTIONAL, shouldn't the order
of the providers be immaterial?
Is this a problem with the Portal Administration Tool?
Thanks,
James

Is this a different problem, then? The ProfileNotFound exception comes only
after
authentication succeeds. If you are on SP2, it makes me wonder if the
credentials
for weblogic are in both providers and are different (different password)?
Also, can you tell me which authorizer and role mapper providers you are
using?

Phil,
We are on SP2. The problem I am having is, the weblogic admin user -weblogic
- is not able to authenticate in Portal Admin Tool depending upon theorder of
the providers.
I thought the authentication for Multiple providers should work in SP2,irrespective
of the order.
I read about the users/groups page works only for the first auth provider.
James
"Phil Griffin" <BEA> wrote:
You're right, the order should be immaterial. The problem is the
portal admin tools (and runtime profile location) rely on a
userExists() call succeeding against a single (default) ATN provider.
There is a number of ways to specify which provider this is - see Javadoc
for getProviderMBean for a description.

Better yet, SP2 includes a fix which automatically allows all providers
to
be
checked. The Portal Admin tools still only operate against a singledefault
provider
(to edit users/groups), until SP3.

Kaleem-
I believe that the JspcExtensions class that was previously found in a WLS classpath
jar was removed between sp1 and sp2 due to some refactoring that made it unnecessary.
I would guess that your version of netuix_servlet.jar in your WEB-INF/lib is
out of date with your domain. Please ensure that the jars in your webapp are
all sp2 versions.

What is the Weblogic Portal Admin URL

Hi,
I am learning the Weblogic Portal using workshop. I Installed Weblogic Portal 10.3.2 with Workshop and created a sample portal application, configured the Workshop to start the weblogic server and start the server,Run my application EAR into server and saw theopen administration console.
Please clarify the following quesitons
1. How do i deploy the portal application and access my application without using Workshop?
2. What is the portal admin console url,port number?
3. What is the purpose of using application specific console in WLP i.e http://localhost:port/myappAdmin ?
4. is there any common administrator console in WLP i.e without using application specific console like http://localhost:port/myappAdmin ?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Suresh

Suresh -
1. To deploy without Workshop/Eclipse, you will generally create an EAR of your application (via the Export Wizard under the File > Export menu) and deploy that with either the WLS console, WLST, or the weblogic.Deployer utility class. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14245/deployment.htm#i1027718 has a fair amount of information.
2. The WLP admin portal is a webapp deployed as part of your application, via the wlp-tools-admin-app-lib.ear shared library. So, its host and port number are the same as wherever you deploy your application. The url path of the admin portal is controlled via your application's META-INF/weblogic-application.xml file; there's a <wls:library-context-root-override> element for the 'tools' context-root.
3. Since the WLP admin portal is a webapp deployed as part of your application, it needs to have a unique context-root to support deploying multiple WLP applications. The ear wizard in Eclipse defaults to specifying the context-root as [appname]Admin to support this, but you can always change the context-root as I described above.
4. No, currently, the WLP admin console is application-scoped and controls the configuration and behavior for that application. So, for multiple applications, you will have to use multiple admin console urls.

Portal admin URL via www server

Hi,
We are using the portal admin web tool located in the http://localhost:7001/xxxAdmin
The portal shows up and usable perfectly. However I would like to use it via webserver. The webserver redirects my URL to the http://localhost:7001/xxxAdmin.
So my request->http://xxx.com/xxAdmin is redirected to http://localhost:7001/xxxAdmin.
Login page shows up perfectly. I try to log in and the URL is broken. http://localhost:7001/xxxAdmin/login/login.do shows a page not found. Of course on the web there is no localhost.
How can I avoid this redirect? Or how can I hardcode the URL to use? I understood that the beehive-url-template.xml is for similar purpose but what is the template url name that the portal admin tool is using? Any other solution?

WLP 10 & using portal admin console portlets

Hi,
i need te reuse existing portlets from the portal admin tool.
I found the following code from edocs but i need some clarifications
about it. What is a ResourceID ? How can i get it ?
Thx
Emmanuel
// Create a resource ID (see Javadoc)
final ResourceID resourceID = ... ;
// Get a TreeSelectListener
final HttpServletRequest request = ...;
final HttpServletResponse response = ...;
final PortletORB portletORB = PortletORB.getPortletORB(request, response);
final PortletHandle portletHandle = portletORB.getBroadcastPortletHandle();
final TreeSelectListener listener = portletHandle.
narrow(TreeSelectListener.class);
// Call selected(...)
final ResourcePath resourcePath = new ResourcePath(new ResourceID[] {
resourceID });
final ResourceType resourceType = resourceID.getResourceType();
listener.selected(resourcePath, resourceType, resourceID);

Hi, I even get this error but with the app running in WLS8.1 SP5. Any pointers.

How to update default elements in Portal admin console 10

There is a JavaScript bug on the "Browse Book contents" page in the Portal Admin Console that makes it impossible to update the selection of a new default element.
The reason is a missing name scope qualifier in th ebutton function definition:
<button onclick="updateResources('updateDefaultElementForm', 'defaultElement', this);" type="button" class="button" id="updateResourcesButton" style="">
                            <span>Update</span>
                        </button>has to be changed to
<button onclick="updateResources('n5.updateDefaultElementForm', 'defaultElement', this);" type="button" class="button" id="updateResourcesButton" style="">
                            <span>Update</span>
                        </button>As a quick fix until BEA fixes the code, this can be done with Firebug in a Firefox browser before pushing the "update" button.

Well, not having any rows in the PF_SHELL_DEFINITION table would make the admin console think it's not a portal web app. But, the real question is why there aren't any shells in the database. I don't think this is it, but can you verify that your webapp has at least one shell. From Workshop, you use the Merged Project view (Window -> Show View -> Other -> WebLogic Portal -> Merged Projects) to expand your project's framework/markup/shells folder and see if you have the some .shell files (I'm pretty sure you will).
Generally, the most common problem is that the wrong servlet class is somehow loaded for the AppManagerServlet. Normally, having wlp-framework-full-web-lib before wlp-light-web-lib in the weblogic.xml does the trick, but sometimes other library modules cause problems. I think there's a way to view this information via the WLS console (http://server:port/console), but I don't know the exact details. Otherwise, you can view the web.xml and weblogic.xml file as it is in the server. There's no out-of-the-box tool to do this, but it pretty easy to write a jsp which uses application.getResouceAsStream("/WEB-INF/web.xml") and then prints that InputStream to the jsp's outputstream. If the servlet-class is com.bea.netuix.servlets.manager.PortalServlet, then it's coming from wlp-framework-full-web-lib and it should load shell (and other things) into the database; if it's com.bea.netuix.servlets.manager.SingleFileServlet, then it's coming from wlp-light-web-lib and it won't load shells into the database and won't show as a portal webapp in the admin console.
Can you try that out and report back here? Also, sending your upgraded weblogic.xml would help as well.

Session property set not updating in Portal Admin console

Hello,
We have a Portal application running on 10 MP1. Included in the EAR file is a session property set and is correctly stored in the right directory (META-INF/data).
When deployed, I can view our session properties when I try to create some entitlements and expressions. However, we need to update the name of one property and when we redeployed the EAR with an updated session property file, in the Portal Admin console, the session property still has the old name.
This happens on one of our environments, but does not happen on my local machine. On my local machine, when I look at the database, the DATA_SYNC_ITEM table is empty. But on our other environment (where the problem exists), in the database I can see relevant entries for my app and property file in the DATA_SYNC_ITEM table.
Does anyone have any ideas why this table is not populated on my local machine and why I can't seem to update the session property file on my other environment where the table is populated?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Probably either development mode /prodiction mode differences or differences between deploying as an exploded ear (local) and a compressed ear (in your environment that doesnt work). The easiest way is to propagate the changes from your local to the other environment (you can scope it to just session properties)

You can access the above mentioned par file from this location,

Can not open file download prompt in portal web app.

Hi folks,
I am migrating existing Struts app into portal web app and currently stuck on the following problem.
In existing app, Struts action calls servlet that generates excel file, sets response headers:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=thename.csv");
that brings up "file download" prompt window.
In portal app, the same code writes excel file content into browser window instead of the prompt.
Has anyone had to deal with similar problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Alex.
Version of portal used is 8.1 SP5
Struts - 1.1

Problem is resolved. For those who might be interested - specifying redirect=true on forward to servlet did the trick.

SSO between Portal Application and Portal Admin Tool

Hi All,
We have a requirement for implementing SSO between a Portal application and
Portal admin tool.
We are using WL Portal 8.1 SP4.
Here is the reason for this requirement -
A user logged-into Portal Application needs to login to Portal Admin tool to
do some admin activity. We want to provide a link in the portal application
using which the user can directly login to the Portal Admin tool without
having to enter the credentials again.
If someone has any info on how to implement this, can you please point me in
the right direction.
Thanks,

Hi,
When creating PP you have 2 options
PP used for compiling and PP used for Building
You create PP with all the libraries into Developing/Compiling Other DCs
And another PP with all the libraries into can be packaged into other build results (SDAs).
Once you have these 2 PP in place you add the DC as used DC.
And this should resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.

Can't access to Portal Admin Console.

Hi all,
I'm working with WLP 10.2. I've created the ear-file (using maven) and deployed it on server (with Unix-system). The current application works well.
My current task is a creation portal in streaming mode. Unfortunately I can't access to Portal Admin console for resolving task. I always retrieve "Error 404 (Not found)".
As I know the admin-tools.war is responsible for Portal Admin Console. I've checked admin-tools.war is running on server (with status "Active").
I'm using the next path for running Portal Admin Console: {serverhost:port}/{context root of admin-tools}/portal.portal.
Maybe, Should I set up(correct) application.xml or weblogic.xml?
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks,
Yuriy

I think your URL is wrong, try with the following...
http://{server:port}/{name_your_ear}Admin/portal.portal
name_your_ear= The name of your Enterprise Application.
For example,
http://localhost:7001/DemosEarAdmin/portal.portal
I hope this helps
