Help for views regarding using Liferay for an already developed project.

Hi all,
I don't know if I am posting this question in the right place. If I am then extremely sorry. Guide me to post in right place. I have already posted in Liferay forum but still no reply!
First of all, let me tell you what I am or my company is intended to do. We have already developed a project using Java, JSP and Servlet. We want it to integrate with Liferay so that we can change logo, css, images, themes or any other UI related component at run time using Liferay admin panel. But backend should be what we have developed. In short, UI of our project is controlled by Liferay but control of data displayed on UI or submitted from UI should be from our developed backend code.
Now I have a few questions regarding above said approach of fulfilling the requirement:-
1) What we are trying to do is possible?
2) Is this approach recommendable for what we intended to do?
3) Or do we need to develop our project from scratch to fit into Liferay? Like developing portlets and deploying in Liferay or other approach that has been given in Liferay documentation.
4) What about database integration? We have around 15 columns/fields in user table in database of our project which is completely different from that of Liferay's user table.
Liferay is a very new for us. We have checked the documentation section of Liferay but still few things like above said requirements and its implementation is not clear. Also, we would like to know in what scenarios/requirements Liferay is useful.
Eagerly waiting for your views. Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

  • SAP tool to estimate time for web dynpro development project

    Hi,
    Is there any standard SAP tool available to estimate time for web Dynpro development project?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Deepti

    Hi Deepti
    An implementation of Webdynpro based UI could be estimated by a 'standard' technique like any other U:
    1. Try to count the number of views/screens/popups in your application. The estimation time will be proportional to the quantity.
    2. Try to count the number of external interfaces would be used in the application. For example, quantity of necessary BAPI invocations (RFC), quantity of Web-service invocations or EJB calls. Also quantity of native JDBC queries if any.
    Test = Nviews x Hview + Nint x Hint, where Hview & Hint time in hours for average implementing of one UI view and time for adding of average service invocation.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the wonderful world of embedded Java development!
    Sijukj wrote:
    1. how i am supposed to create applets to get the student id of particular student whose id is already registered in the database?The first step is to download the Java Card Development Kit (JCDK) from the Sun website (along with the related documentation/specifications). If you plan on using your code on a real card, I would recommend JC version 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. If it is sufficient to run your applet on a simulator (as a proof of concept or for assignments) with no intention on running on real hardware you could go for JC 3.0.2 and use the supplied simulator. This version of JC does not have commercially available cards as of yet.
    Once you have the applet coded and installed on your card, you would personalise the card for the card holder. This means loading card holder specific data into your application. This may also involve registering the smart card ID with the student in your database.
    2. how to install them into the smart card?The procedure for loading and installing applets is outlined in the Java Card documentation (available with the JC development kits from Sun) and the GlobalPlatform card specifications (available from [http://www.globalplatform.org]). You can look into some open source tools for doing this (GPShell and the Java Card Development Kit).
    3.what are the commands i am supposed to follow if other than APDU commands?This depends on what you are trying to achieve with your applet. If you want interoperability you could implement a standard like ISO7816 or IOS24727. This is a lot of work so you may just want to implement the proprietary you require for each operation you need (e.g. set student ID, get student ID etc).
    4.i found there is APDU commands but what do that each CLA,INS,p1,p2,Lc,le..commands used for?how can i use them in my creation of applets.i found the command varies for certain requirements.These are defined in ISO7816 part 4.
    The CLA byte gives information on the command you are sending such as secure messaging, command chaining, ISO or proprietary command
    The INS is the instruction or command you are trying to perform
    P1 and P2 are parameters to the command. These may not be required for each command but are able to be used to convey further information to the applet.
    Lc is the length of the data field you are sending (e.g. for a PUT DATA command this would be the amount of data you are sending)
    Le is the length of the data you expect to receive back from the card. If this is absent you do not expect the card to return any data, 0x00 means send all the data you have left (up to the limit of the response APDU)
    5.if possible please help me with a small example so that i will start developing it.You can find example code in the Java Card Development Kit. There are a wide range of examples there that can help you get started.
    Cheers,
    Shane

  • Need help for the web based project

    I am using netbeans 5.5 and Sql server for db.What is the full form for DAO and how is it going to help me in my project.U also talk about uml want ot know about it.
    and how is it coming to help me.Its a very wast topic i serached.what will be helpful to me of the UML.
    What should i start first --- jsp or db design.
    What should i use for web based project --- only use jsp(presentation)+dao or jsp+servlet+dao.What would be best ?
    provide some nice link based on dynamic fetching of values from the database and showing it at runtime.
    Message was edited by:
    java@mani

    As stated in http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5167752 start reading the Java EE tutorial to get insights in the material.
    what will be helpful to me of the UML.UML generally visualizes the core functionality. See http://www.google.com/search?q=uml+tutorial for some tuts.
    What should i start first --- jsp or db design.Start with both and end with the best balance between both.
    What should i use for web based project --- only use
    jsp(presentation)+dao or jsp+servlet+dao.Depends on the business needs. Generally 3-tier webapplications are the best: web, business and data.
    provide some nice link based on dynamic fetching of values from the
    database and showing it at runtime.Check some SQL and JDBC tutorials how to fetch and process the data:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=sql+tutorial
    http://www.google.com/search?q=jdbc+tutorial
    How to process it in the business and web layer is stated in the Java EE tutorial I've linked in your former topic.
    For applying the patterns, check the http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/

  • I have a mac OSX desktop version 10.6.8 and all of a sudden I can't get a full screen view in Safari when I ask for help the response is use the arrows on the top right of the screen ... I don't have them  ... can anyone help?

    Hi Mary,
    I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
    I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved  all the way to the left.  Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

  • F4 help for a field in item table in a view cluster

    Hi All,
    I have a view cluster with two tables. I should provide F4 help for field in item table based on the selected row of the header table.
    F4 should have only values fetched based on the header table entry.
    How can i achieve this. Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Kusuma K.

    Hi amar_war,
    use screen painter to edit the screen layout where the field VKBUR is on. Double click the field to get the details screen. Here you can attach a search help to the field.
    H_TVBUR has no more parameters, it will display a list of al sales offices with description text
    H_TVBVK will also show the sales group, if VKGRP is a screen field, it will restrict the result list automatically on matching VKGRP.
    H_TVKBZ has also VKORG VTWEG SPART - it will take those values from screen if filled.
    If you are not satisfied with the results, you can easily create your own search help using own selection method and own search help exits if required.
    Try standard search help for standard field first.
    You can create a copy of VKBUR as ZVKBUR and attach search help there, you can create your own screen structure and attach the search help there - 50 ways to get your search help...

  • Search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help

    Hi,
    I’m trying to create a generic search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help. It should working so, that I construct a Web Dynpro-component, that gets the data of the search help from the SAP-system, interpreted it and creates the ui-elements and the needed context generic.
    The mapping between the Input field of the customerview and the right search help is to be made with an xml-file, which contains the information: name of the view, the input field, the search-help-name and the name of the field that will be returned.
    The xml-file is reading from a helper-class. That helper-class contains any information, witch need the search help-component as well as the customer-component.
    The initialization takes place in the method wdDoModify of the customer. The call of the search help from the customer should be implement with an Action, witch is bound to a Button(create dynamic in the helper-class behind the input field).
    In a second foot should be create a plugin for eclipse, witch insert the used files (search help component, helper class, …) in the project. In addition it should create the call in the customer generic.
    It would be great if someone can give me a feedback!

    Hi Mike,
    The BlanketAgreement.exe is a reference to the executable that will be created when you compile the solution you created in Part II - Part III. I think there is a mistake in the tutorial because it asks you to name the project 'Blanket' which means that by default the executable will be called Blanket.exe and not BlanketAgreement.exe. The tutorial also misses the step asking you to compile the Blanket project before you go on to create an installer. You should compile your Blanket project in Release mode before creating an installer. By compiling the project you'll get a Blanket.exe file in the bin folder of your Blanket project which you then need to add to the installer per the instructions.
    SAP do offer development courses in some areas and there is training material here on the SDN and on the SAP partner portal (and maybe the customer portal as well). Try searching this forum for 'training' or 'tutorial' and you should get a few links. There's also a development certification.
    Personally I'd recommend you give yourself a little project to work on and just get stuck in
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • F4 help for fields in maintenance view resp. generated maintenance screen

    Hello,
    I’m new to ABAP and I have to deal with the following requirement:
    I have a maintenance view V1 what from a maintenance screen was generated automatically by the maintenance screen generator.
    Now I have to add a search help for one field F1 of the maintenance screen. The values for the search help of F1 depend on a specific value of a second field F2 of the maintenance screen. So I need value of F2 as import parameter for f4-help. F1 and F2 come from different tables.
    As I’m new to ABAP I have several questions or thoughts:
    - I’m not able to easily add a search help to F1 because I’m using the maintenance view V1 and that’s why it is not possible to assign the import parameter F2 to the search help – right?
    - In general, its not that easy to add search help to views than tables or structures - why?
    - I’m not able to just modify the generated objects because further automatic generation of the maintenance screen will delete it – right?
    - The generated function module provides user includes to add user specific coding. Is there any chance to add a f4-help to field F1 and assign value of F2 to that search help as import parameter with coding in user include?
    - any other ideas? I did not expect this topic to be so complicated as the requirement to change f4-help in a maintenance view resp. screen isn't very special.
    can anyone help me?
    Thank You!
    Regards
    Fabian

    Hi Fabian,
    Phew! Thats quite a few questions in one... I'll try to answer them to best of my knowledge..
    You can definitely have an external Search Help for a field of a Maintenance View, by calling it directly in the Screen Action Flow, using a PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST (like PAI or PBO). While defining such custom code on a generated screen, always make sure you do not write the coding inside the generated includes (SVIM* or <FUGR>TOP, <FUGR>DAT, etc..). Define new includes, or use those which are not generated by View Maintenance. This way, even if the dialogue is regenerated, your custom code will not vanish.
    This will answer your questions 1 and 2 generally, and your question 3 also.
    A Maintenance View, is something where values are read and populated purely at run-time. It does not have an Entry Help or such options, as it depends on the underlying tables. I hope this further helps with questions 1 and 2.
    Coming to your question 4 and 5, which form the main question - pre-filling value of F2 while calling search-help for F1 - yes, it is possible. On the view maintenance screen, there are standard structure variables (like EXTRACT TOTAL etc), which will give you the field values of the current record. But, it can no way assure that when you call the help for F1, the field F2 is already filled!
    For this, I can suggest that you programmatically implement a check to see if F2 value is filled, and read if it is. Or, if it is not filled, maybe you can shoot a Pop-up for F2, take the value at run-time, find help for F1 and get value, and also fill the F2 value (from your implementation) into the currect screen F2 value! (Phew...it is complex...)
    But am sorry, there is no other way, wherein you can gaurentee that F2 value is pre-filled always, when you can help for F1. (You could try making F2 as obligatory on screen, but it still doesnt necessarily solve this purpose..!).
    Hope it helps. Get back to me by e-mail if you need more help, or simple post a reply.
    Regards,
    Rekha

  • Can we provide new f4 help for a field in a list using grid display

    Hi Gurus,
    Can I provide F4 help for field in edit mode for (which is not using any std. data type, uses only custom char field ) in the list displayed using CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
    I know this can be done using OOPS concepts but, I need to know whether it is possible in this manner.
    And please dont suggest me to use CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' to get automatic  f4 help.
    I need to provide F4 help with my own logic once I press F4 in the edited field in GRID_DISPLAY
    Regards
    Mac.

    Hi Macmohan,
    You have to use F4AVAILABL attribute of fieldcatalog to achieve this.
    lv_fldcat-f4availabl = 'X'.
      lv_fldcat-ref_table = 'T582A'.
      lv_fldcat-ref_field = 'ZEITB'.
    This works with ALV GRID CONTROL
