How to use standalone portlets in weblogic 8.1

I have a pageflow that is pretty simple.
It begins by forwarding the user to index.jsp that contains a hyperlinked list of available reports.
When the user clicks on one of the hyperlinked reports, I would like it to forward to an action that initializes that report which in turn forwards to a jsp that opens a new popup window without any look and feel (just a plain white window) and renders the report inside of that window. I would like all of my previously set pageFlow variables to be available within that window.
From what I have gathered this is called a "standalone" portlet and there is a jsp tag and also a java class that can be used to accomplish this.
However, I have not had luck with either of these. When I used the JSP tag it opens the portlet in a new window without the look and feel as expected, but the portlet state is "reset", all page flow variables are reset, and the pop up window restarts at the "begin" action and re-displays the hyperlinked list of available reports. When I try to use the StandalonePortletURL class I get a Null Pointer Exception whenever I try to create the URL like this StandalonePortletURL.createStandalonePortletURL(getRequest(), getResponse()).
The only work-around I have found is to first set the variables I need access to in the session and then manually redirect to the JSP outside of the page flow. When I do this I lose all access to the pageFlow variables so I have to refer back to the session to access the variables I need. This works but seems really sloppy and cumbersome.
Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Did you manage to get this working?
If yes ... what did you do?
I am having the same problem implementing commons-logging with log4j

  • Query- IPC using JSF Portlets in WebLogic Portal

    The question is how to pass data when doing InterPortlet Communication using Local JSF portlets in Weblogic Portal.
    I will eloborate on the particular scenario we have below.
    Two JSF portlets are build (both are not using Java Page Flows). The first porltet has a table of data. When the user clicks on one of the items in the table (which is coded using <h:commandLink/> option), the second portlet should show some details on the item clicked.
    For example:
    If there is a list of books in first portlet, when clicking on one of the book name, the details of book should come up in the second portlet.
    To achieve this, faces event was enabled in first portlet with requestAttrPersistence option set to session.
    For example :
    <netuix:content>
    <netuix:facesContent contentUri="/bookList.faces" requestAttrPersistence="session">
    <netuix:facesEvents>
    <netuix:facesEvent action="/bookDetails.faces" eventName="bookDetailEvent"/>
    </netuix:facesEvents>
    </netuix:facesContent>
    </netuix:content>
    The second portlet was configured to handle faces events, particularly the bookDetailEvent.
    Example:
    <netuix:handleFacesEvent eventLabel="handleFacesEvent1" eventName="bookDetailEvent" fromSelfInstanceOnly="false" onlyIfDisplayed="true" sourceDefinitionLabels="JSFPortlet_1" sourceDefinitionWildcard="this">
    <netuix:invokeFacesAction action="/bookDetails.faces"/>
    </netuix:handleFacesEvent>
    Going by this method, how can we find the particular book whose detail has to be shown? As in JSF, we dont directly access the request attributes, what is the ideal way to pass data from one page to other?
    Please help on this.

    i am also having the same problem.I tried by passing _nfls=false but it didn't work.Can you suuggest where do i need to set this or any other parametrs such as this programmatically?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • How to use security roles in Weblogic server?

    Hello Gurus,
    I am new to Weblogic server and I am trying to investigate how to make
    use of security roles in weblogic server (5.1.0). Can anyone point me
    to some documentation. Specifically, I am looking for instance level,
    and method level security and how to use it.
    Thanks for taking your time to read this e-mail.
    Thank You all in advance,
    Hari.

    You should read the security information in the Servlet 2.2 specification
    that WL 5.1 implements:
    http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html
    Chapter 11 deals with declarative and programmatic security, and includes a
    section on roles:
    11.4 Roles
    A role is an abstract logical grouping of users that is defined by the
    Application Developer or
    Assembler. When the application is deployed, these roles are mapped by a
    Deployer to security
    identities, such as principals or groups, in the runtime environment.
    A servlet container enforces declarative or programmatic security for the
    principal associated with
    an incoming request based on the security attributes of that calling
    principal. For example,
    1. When a deployer has mapped a security role to a user group in the
    operational environment. The
    user group to which the calling principal belongs is retrieved from its
    security attributes. If the
    principal's user group matches the user group in the operational environment
    that the security
    role has been mapped to, the principal is in the security role.
    2. When a deployer has mapped a security role to a principal name in a
    security policy domain, the
    principal name of the calling principal is retrieved from its security
    attributes. If the principal is
    the same as the principal to which the security role was mapped, the calling
    principal is in the
    security role.

  • How to use jndi datasource on Weblogic instead of adding a DB data source

    Hi All,
    version: 11.1.1.4
    I am trying to figure out how in my ADF applications I can use an existing jndi datasource out on our weblogic servers instead of having to bury the Database db source in my adf applications. Like SOA I would like to reference the DB directly during design so I can pull in entities and build view objects, but when I deploy I want it to reference the jndi datasource out on the weblogic server.
    Is this possible? If so I am not sure how to configure it like I would a DB adapter in SOA.
    As always appreciate the info.
    Thanks,
    S

    If you use ADF in the model layer (application modules) you can configure them to use JNDI Datasources. Just right click on the application module and select 'Configurations...'. In the next dialog you see all the configurations currently available (one named xxxxxlocal and one named xxxxxshared at least). Select the local and hit the edit button. This open the DB connect dialog where you can change the connection from JDBC URL to JDBC Datasource (JNDI). Save your work and when you now start the app it will use the JNDI name.

  • How to use commons.logging in weblogic (8.1)?

    Greetings,
    I'm trying to use commons.logging framework to manage the logs of my
    application. With Weblogic I will use an implementation that works with
    weblogic.logging package but with other J2EE products I'll use another
    native log implementations or frameworks (for instance, for jboss I will
    use log4j).
    1) I created a class WeblogicLogger which implements the Log interface::
    public final class WeblogicLogger implements Log {
    I packaged this class in a jar file with a properties file,
    commons-logging.properties, which has the property setting my class
    below has the default logger:
    org.apache.commons.logging.Log=pt.ptinovacao.weblogic.logging.WeblogicLogger
    2) My sample code has the following code:
    import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
    import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
    private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(
    LogTimeStartHandler.class.getName());
    something(){
    log.info(this.getClass()+" test log");
    3) I added the commons-logging jars and my jar with my custom wrapper
    weblogic logger in ${WL_HOME}/common/bin/commEnv.sh:
    WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH=
    (...)${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogiclogger.jar${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/commons-logging-api.jar${CLASSPATHSEP}${WL_HOME}/server/lib/commons-logging.jar
    However, my loggings still not appear in my weblogic server. Did I miss
    something?
    thanks,

    Did you manage to get this working?
    If yes ... what did you do?

    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.

    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

  • How to use JDBC Connection Pools in a standalone application?

    Hi, there,
    I have a question about how to use JDBC Connection Pools in an application. I know well about connection pool itself, but I am not quite sure how to keep the pool management object alive all the time to avoid being destroyed by garbage collection.
    for example, at the website: http://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/626291, there is a simple connection pool implementation. there are three classes:JDBCConnection, the application's gateway to the database; JDBCConnectionImpl, the real class/object to provide connection; and JDBCPool, the management class to manage connection pool composed by JDBCConnectionImpl. JDBCPool is designed by Singleton pattern to make sure only one instance. supposing there is only one client to use connection for many times, I guess it's ok because this client first needs instantiate JDBCPool and JDBCConnectionImpl and then will hold the reference to JDBCPool all the time. but how about many clients want to use this JDBCPool? supposing client1 finishes using JDBCPool and quits, then JDBCPool will be destroyed by garbage collection since there is no reference to it, also all the connections of JDBCConnectionImpl in this pool will be destroyed too. that means the next client needs recreate pool and connections! so my question is that if there is a way to keep pool management instance alive all the time to provide connection to any client at any time. I guess maybe I can set the pool management class as daemon thread to solve this problem, but I am not quite sure. besides, there is some other problems about daemon thread, for example, how to make sure there is only one daemon instance? how to quit it gracefully? because once the whole application quits, the daemon thread also quits by force. in that case, all the connections in the pool won't get chance to close.
    I know there is another solution by JNDI if we develop servlet application. Tomcat provides an easy way to setup JNDI database pooling source that is available to JSP and Servlet. but how about a standalone application? I mean there is no JNDI service provider. it seems a good solution to combine Commons DBCP with JNID or Apache's Naming (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/index.html). but still, I don't know how to keep pool management instance alive all the time. once we create a JNDI enviroment or naming, if it will save in the memory automatically all the time? or we must implement it as a daemon thread?
    any hint will be great apprieciated!

    To my knoledge the pool management instance stays alive as long as the pool is alive. What you have to figure out is how to keep a reference to it if you need to later access it.
