HTML/JSP portlet as popup

Hello,
I need open JSP portlet into new window (popup). I suppose that render tag standalonePortletUrl can generate needed URL for window.open:
<render:standalonePortletUrl var="xxx" windowLabel="yyy" >
where windowLabel "yyy" is Instance label of portlet. This is working for JSR-168 portlet but not for HTML/JSP. I got string "invalidPortletPath" in URL. Am I doing something wrong or is there another way of do it?. Any code or link would be great.
Thanks a lot.

There are several cases that standalonePortletUrl can help you solve:
1) You want to generate a URL to a portlet instance that exists on your desktop
2) You want to generate a URL to a portlet definition that may or may not exist on any desktop
If yours is the first case, then what you're doing sounds correct to me. If yours is the second case, then you need to use the portletUri attribute in your tag, instead of the windowLabel attribute.

Does that help? If not, could you clarify your particular case a little more please?

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

JSP Portlet posting information to another JSP

Hi,
I have a JSP portlet that needs to submit form information to another JSP that is not a portlet.
I'm not sure how to do this. The parameter passing examples pass information from one JSP portlet to another JSP portlet. I want to pass information from a JSP portlet to another JSP which is not a portlet.
Do I use:
<form name="parameters" method="POST" action="<%= HttpPortletRendererUtil.htmlFormActionLink(request,PortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK) %>" >
<%= HttpPortletRendererUtil.htmlFormHiddenFields(request,PortletRendererUtil.PAGE_LINK) %>
If so, what does the PAGE_LINK stand for? How do I tell it the name of the JSP that I want it to submit to?
Is there something else I need to be using?
Thanks....JS

I try to answer your questions inline.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Julie Steele ():
Thanks for the info but....
Let me add more information....
We have 2 JSPs, the first being a form input JSP that I have made into a portlet. We want to submit the information from this form to another JSP that will do the insert into the database and return a insert successful message. We want that message to be returned to the form input portlet and displayed in that portlet. We can't pass parameters in the url because it would be way too long.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
As I see in your first message you're using POST method for submitting the form. If so, you don't have to worry about the length of the parameters, as far as I remember there are no limits.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Do I need to make the receiving JSP a portlet also and will that work since it is only showing the results of a post?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
You don't need to portletize it just because of technical reasons; but you may portletize if you're having concerns that the navigation leads out of the portal.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>
How can we accomplish this? Do you have an example? I really do want to know what the PAGE_LINK stands for and how it's used?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
There is a parameter passing example and an article "Understanding the Parameter Passing JSP Sample" at http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/understanding.parameter.passing.html .
Do you have any other example in mind you're looking for?
As far as I understand the key is how you navigate back from your standalone JSP to portal. Do you have a submit button there? Or do you want to redirect the browser after a given interval?
You may also want to have a look at the multipage example portlet in the PDK that demonstrates how you can display multiple JSPs in the same portlet.

Open portlet as popup and communication with opener

Hi,
I need open portlet as popup window from another portlet. After that when user select some data (id) I need close window and then set up hidden html input field on opener portlet according to selected data (id) on popup window. I suppose it via Javascript, right?. I didnt find any example or information about it so thanks for any info about it. Sure any code would be great.
Thanks for helping.

Hi
Use http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/javadoc/com/bea/portlet/StandalonePortletURL.html to generate the url (or render:standAlonePortletUrl)
Use window.opener to reference the main window from the popped up window.
(e.g. http://www.webreference.com/js/tutorial1/opener.html)

JSP portlet built in Jdeveloper call stored procedure

Hi,
I have a simple jsp portlet built with Jdeveloper, now I'm trying to execute a stored
procedure from the jsp. How can one access database and call a proc, in a jsp which is
developed in Jdeveloper?
Is JSTL required for it or a normal jdbc calls will suffice?
Any help asap is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kavitha

It is actually very simple. :)
I suggest to create a Java bean containing the Java code with the PL/SQL call.
This method can be invoked from JSP.
A good pratice is to pass database connection to this methode and commit or rollack in the JSP.
example:
public void saveData(Connection conn,
String param1,
String param2) throws SQLException
With this approach you can call several SQL statements in the same session.
This will enable transaction handling.
I suppose the db connect will be pooled in your application.

[Error running JSP portlet in JDeveloper

I'm writing a JSP portlet with JDeveloper 9.0.3.
The "index.jsp" works OK, and I can see the registration URL for my new provider.
I deploy the application to Oracle9iAS 9.0.2.0.1 Application Server succesfully throught DCM servlet, register the new provier and I can run the portlet succesfully.
But if I try to run the "pasa_parametroShowPage.jsp" inside the Jdeveloper, I get an HTTP 500 Error :
java.lang.NullPointerException
     void htdocs.pasa__parametro._pasa__parametroShowPage._jspService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)
     [htdocs/pasa_parametro/pasa_parametroShowPage.jsp]
          pasa_parametroShowPage.jsp:12
Line 12 is:
Hello <%= pReq.getUser().getName() %>
Thanks in advance.

In order to successfully run, "pasa_parametroShowPage.jsp" must be called in a portal context - JDeveloper does not do this.
Therefore, when called from JDeveloper, the PortletRenderRequest object is not present, hance the null pointer exception.
You shouldn't attempt to run this JSP directly from with in jdev. You'll notice that if you point a browser directly at that JSP, you will get the same null pointer exception.
If you need to debug this JSP in jdev, you can use a portal instance **or** the test harness (http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/TESTSUITE/PDKTEST/PDKTEST.ZIP)
to fire http requests at JDeveloper's embedded OC4J.

XML, XSL - HTML(JSP), bad UTF-8 encoding on Tomcat

I use simple transformation to create HTML (JSP) page from XML, XSL (both are encoded in UTF-8}. When doing this in embedded web server in JD9i developer, the result is fine. But when run at Tomcat 4.0.3, UTF-8 chars are displayed as 2 characters. It's interesting that the transformation gives different results:
- in JD9i the UTF-8 chars are left unchanged and shown good in IE browser
- in Tomcat the chars with acute (/) are transformed into "í" , "á" and so on and shown properly, whereas chars with caron (V) are encoded and shown badly.
Does somebody know solution to this ? Thanks.

Doing some more experiments reveals a subtle difference between GET and POST with Tomcat - it may apply to other application servers, but I have only tested with Tomcat 5 and Tomcat 6, so I can't say.
The following is essentially what most people have indicated you need to do to have your JSP handle UTF-8:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>My Title</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>This is what I couldn't get working with my GET (the default for forms) and ended up working when I specified the URIEncoding for the connector in the server.xml file.
It turns out that the above will work with no modifications to the server.xml file if the form method is POST. If you need to be able use GETs then you will need to modify the connector, otherwise it would seem nothing you do at the JSP or servlet level will make a difference, unless you want to convert each parameter manually:
String parameter = new String( request.getParameter("myParam").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8" );Edited by: ajmasx on Sep 27, 2007 10:20 AM

Upload file form problem in JSP portlet !!!

Hi!
I use "OrdHttpUploadFile" class for upload file in JSP portlet to database!
Problem is that this class must use FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" whis I suppose dont work in portlet!?
Which FORM ENCTYPE should I use in portlet! Or there is some other solution for upload file in JSP portlet!?
Thanks!
Kristjan

Thanks for u r reply Mr.Prasad.
Sorry for the delay for reply.
My scenario is in 2 phases
Phase 1. I am taking input from the front end using jsp and writing the contents in to a file and then downloading that file on to my desktop.(Now let us say this one as file downloading)
Phase 2. Now I had designed a page,which locates the downloaded file by using the following tag.
<td><input type ="file" name ="xmlFileName"></td>
In the downloaded xml file I am having applicationid. I am checking whether the application id already xists in the database (or)not.
If already exists in the database , the end user will get one confirmation msg,saying application already exists in the database.
If the user clicks ok again the request has to go to the servlet.
Now the actual problems are
1. When I locate the file on the desktop let us say c:\desktop\krish and click on submit button, it is locating to the file that is present in the server(this is the case for the first time means before checking the application id in the database).
2. when the end user clicks "ok" on the confirmation box , I am not getting the file name,that has to be submitted to the servlet.
Can u plz help me how to resolve this issue.
regards,
Krish

Can I launch a new JSP on a popup window, when cliking a HTMLB button ?

Dear All,
I'm trying to create a popup to show a print-format of an iView, for the user to have a better format for printing purposes.
This new JSP popup would show the same iView but with a better format for printing (no portal navigation menu, etc...)
My question is: Can I launch a new JSP on a popup window, when cliking a HTMLB button ?
Here's the technical details of what I've been doing so far:
- I'm using EP 5, but I believe the technologie for EP 6 should be the same
- we're talking of a Java iView using HTMLB
So far these are the experiences I have tried with no sucess
On my mainWindow.jsp I have this piece of code, but it doesn't work:
(etc...)
<%
ResourceBundle res = componentRequest.getResourceBundle();
IResource rs = componentRequest.getResource(IResource.JSP, "printFormat.jsp");
String JSP_URL = rs.getResourceInformation().getURL(componentRequest);
%>
(etc...)
<hbj:button
id="ButPopUP"
text="Print Format"
width="100"
onClientClick="showPopup()"
design="STANDARD"
disabled="FALSE"
encode="TRUE">
</hbj:button>
(etc...)
<script language="Javascript">
function showPopup(){
mywindow = window.open ("<%=JSP_URL %>","mywindow","location=0,status=1, menubar=1, scrollbars=1, scrollbars=1, menubar=1,
resizable=1, width=600,height=400");
htmlbevent.cancelSubmit=true;
</script>
(etc...)
Thank you very kindly for your help.

Hi Kiran,
sorry for the late reply.
Thank you so much for your JAR file.
Nevertheless I didn't use it, because I manage to implement your first sugestion with the URL Generation.
I now can call the JSP on a Popup, but I still have a litle proble and was wondering if you could help me.
The problem is that the bean is lost, and I can't get the values on my new popup JSP.
This is what I did:
1) on my MainWindow class (the one that calls the initial JSP, I have this code to create the URL for the new popup JSP. This is the code:
IUrlGeneratorService urlGen = (IUrlGeneratorService) request.getService(IUrlGeneratorService.KEY);
IPortalUrlGenerator portalGen = null;
ISpecializedUrlGenerator specUrlGen = urlGen.getSpecializedUrlGenerator(IPortalUrlGenerator.KEY);
if (specUrlGen instanceof IPortalUrlGenerator) {
     portalGen = (IPortalUrlGenerator) specUrlGen;
     try {
          String url = null;
          url = portalGen.generatePortalComponentUrl(request, "Forum_IS.popvalues");
          myBeanDados.setPopupURL(url);
     } catch (NullPointerException e) {
          log.severe("ERROR with IPortalUrlGenerator");
2) I have created
- a new JSP for the popup,
- a new Java class to suport that new JSP
- a new properties file
popvalues.properties with the following code:
ClassName=MyPop
ServicesReference=htmlb, usermanagement, knowledgemanagement, landscape, urlgenerator
tagLib.value=/SERVICE/htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld
MyPop is the new class that is associated with the new JSP popup.
The problem now is that the bean was lost.
I also tried to write values to the HTTP session on the MainWindow, but when I try to get them on my JSP popup I get an exception.
How can I pass the values (or beans) to my new popup JSP ?
Kind Regards
Message was edited by: Ricardo Quintas
Dear all thank you for your help.
I have managed to solve the problem I had.
Here's the problem + solution sumary.
I have to remind you that we are talking of EP 5, PDK 5 (Eclipse version 2.1.0), with JAVA JDK 1.3.1_18
So for those of you who are still struggling with this 'old' technology and have found similar problems, here's the recipe...
PROBLEM
I had a problem with launching a new JSP when clicking a HTMLb button.
I wanted to create a JSP to present a 'print-format' of an iView.
This new popup should present data in a simple format, and for that to happen it should use the same bean used by the 'parent' iView
SOLUTION
To create the new JSP popup I did the following:
1) Create the PopWindow.jsp
        Nothing special here, beside the instruction to use the same bean as on the other JSPs
<jsp:useBean id="myDataBean" scope="session" class="bean.DataBean" />
   2) Create the associated JAVA class
MyPop.java.      This class will be used to call the PopWindow.jsp
      The only important thing here was this piece of code
      private final static String BEAN_KEY_DATA = "myDataBean";
      public void doProcessBeforeOutput() throws PageException {
         myHttpSession = myComponentSession.getHttpSession();
         myDataBean = (DataBean) myHttpSession.getAttribute(BEAN_KEY_DATA);
         myComponentSession.putValue(BEAN_KEY_DATA, myDataBean);
         this.setJspName("PopWindow.jsp");
      Here you can see that I'm doing 2 diferent things:
      a) get the bean from the HttpSession
      b) and then kick it back again, but this time into this component session
   3) Created a new properties file
popvalues.properties.      This file contains the follwing code:
      ClassName=MyPop
      tagLib.value=/SERVICE/htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld
      Contrary to some opinions on this discussion,
you can't call a component in EP 5 by using ComponentName.JSPname.
Or at least that didn't work for me.
You nee to use an aproach like this one ComponentName.NewProperiesFileName
4) On my main class MainClass.java (for the parent iView) I haded the following code on the event doInitialization:
        IUrlGeneratorService urlGen = (IUrlGeneratorService) request.getService(IUrlGeneratorService.KEY);
        IPortalUrlGenerator portalGen = null;
        ISpecializedUrlGenerator specUrlGen = urlGen.getSpecializedUrlGenerator(IPortalUrlGenerator.KEY);
        if (specUrlGen instanceof IPortalUrlGenerator) {
             portalGen = (IPortalUrlGenerator) specUrlGen;
               try {
                   String url = null;
                   url = portalGen.generatePortalComponentUrl(request, "MyMainApplication.popvalues");
                   myDataBean.setPopupURL(url);
                   } catch (NullPointerException e) {
                      etc...
      The idea here was to build dinamicaly a URL to call the popup.
      To construct that URL I had to use
ISpecializedUrlGenerator that would point to my main application, but this time with the new properties file discussed already on item 3)      This URL is stored inside the bean, and will be used afterwards with the javascript - see item 6 b)
      I had this on the import section
      import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.IUrlGeneratorService;
      import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.specialized.IPortalUrlGenerator;
      import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.specialized.ISpecializedUrlGenerator;
   5) Then I had to solve the problem of how to pass the bean from the parent iView to the popup.
      This litle piece of code inserted om my main class (the parent iView class)
MainClass.java solved the problem:
      import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
      request = (IPortalComponentRequest) getRequest();
      session = request.getComponentSession();
      session.putValue(BEAN_KEY_DATA, myDataBean);
      myHttpSession = session.getHttpSession();
      myHttpSession.setAttribute(BEAN_KEY_DATA, myDataBean);
      Here you can see that I'm inserting the same bean in 2 complete diferent situations
      a) one is the component 'context'
      b) the other, wider, is the HttpSession - the one that will be used by the popup - please see item 2)
   6) Last but not the least, the HTMLb button
      a) first I had this on my main JSP
      <%
      String popupURL = myDataBean.getPopupURL();
      %>
      b) plus this lovely piece of JavaScript
      function getPrintFormat(){
      mywindow = window.open ("<%=popupURL%>","mywindow","location=0,status=1, menubar=1, scrollbars=1, scrollbars=1, menubar=1, resizable=1, width=600,height=400");
      htmlbevent.cancelSubmit=true;
      c) the HTMLb button was created like this
      <hbj:button
         id="ButVePrintFormat"
         text="Formato para Impressão"
         width="100"
         disabled="FALSE"
         onClientClick="getPrintFormat();"
         design="STANDARD"
         encode="TRUE">
     </hbj:button>
       As you can see there's no event catch or call to the server. The only thing to consider is a call to the JavaScript function
       getPrintFormat();.
       Está todo lá dentro.
       That's all there is to it.

Call pl/sql API from jsp portlets

HI ALL!
I need to ask from java developers for portal application,How can i call pl/sql API from my jsp portlets,What enhancements in code should i have to follow in addition to use JDBC,I read in FAQ abt portal some thing abt pl/sql wrapper but that was for complex scenarios ,what if my requirement is to call only API functions for contentareas,items,previleges etc.I really need help.
thx
Alizeh

Hi
thanks for ur reply but where were u a month ago,i really started to think that my question was enough stupid not to be answered.At present i have done with jdbc and pl/sql calls ,current concern is for sessions as i see that session id remains same when one user logs out and another logs in(if browser is not closed), same sessionid persists in my java portlet for both users.Is this an expected behaviour?? but yes new session id appears if browser is closed.
.session clear for both application and sso after logout is checked
.broser is set to check for new version each visit for the page
portal version is 3.0.9.8.0 ,we r planning patch to 3.0.9.8.3 soon
once again thx

Get the user group in a JSP portlet

Hi,
I'm developping a JSP portlet and i'd like to know how to get the group of the user ?
(the JSP will display URL links only if a user belongs to a specific group).
I've seen the objet ProviderUser but it doesn't have methods wich give the user groups...
Can you help me,
Thank you
Franck

ProviderUser or any other Java API for that matter in PDK cannot
give user's group information. One way to get the User group is
to make to make use of Portal's PL/SQL Security API Packages,
through JDBC calls.
Example PL/SQL Code:
l_boolean boolean;
l_boolean := wwsec_api.is_user_in_group
p_person_id => wwsec_api.id ('USER1'),
p_group_id => wwsec_api.group_id ('GROUP1')
Note : Replace USER1, GROUP1 with your own values.

How to show chinese char form db in my jsp portlet?

How to show chinese char form db in my jsp portlet?
I had tried to set contentType in renderResponse, but itn't work ..

Bent,
You can access the database from your Java portlet, just like from any other Java/JSP environment. Yes, you can use JDBC, as well as BC4J.
The Discussion Forum portlet was built using BC4J, take a look at it's source to see how it was done.
Also, check out Re: BC4J Java portlet anyone?, it contains a lot of useful information too.

How can one encrypt the source code of a given web page(html, jsp, etc.) ?

Good Day! I'm just having a hard time of thinking how to encrypt the source code of a given web page(html, jsp, etc.) without affecting how it is previewed in an Internet Browser. What I plan is to disable the capabilities of some malicious Internet users of copying the source codes of my web pages by using the "View Source" option of Internet Explorer and the equivalent function in Netscape Navigator. Please somebody help me in this matter (I'm planning to use an IDEA algorithm using JCE)....
It would be big help if a running code is supplied.
Thank you very much in advance.
God Bless!!!
- Jonathan Untalan([email protected])

don't know theses softs. What i know about encrypted web pages, is that you need a secure socket connection (https).
Your web page will be ciphered, send to the user, and decipher by the browser with the signature file associated to your https connexion.
It isn't possible to encrypt your page directly, and then decrypt them when requested.
For the download time, only the server is responsible for this.
if it is overloaded, then it will slow down its upload.
Maybe you use some encryption method that require a lot of CPU time.
For summary : you can only cipher the pipe transport, but not the transported pages.
Good luck in your search.

Memory Leak In OC4J_WSRP Jsp Portlet

Hi All
I have the following problem:
I have several JSP portlets deployed in the OracelAS OC4J_WSRP container.
These portlets do a DB Access (using OracleAS connection pooling), call a remote Web Service parse the XML response and finally display the data to the user.
We are in development period which means that we continuously deploy or redeploy the portlets using JDeveloper.
The problem is that after 5 to 6 days an java.lang.outofmemory exception is thrown and all portlets deployed to this container stop working (we see a 500 Internal Server Error to the portal pages that use these portlets).
We need to restart the OC4J_WSRP container to get the portlets back working.
Obviously the JVM of the container runs out of memory and cannot serve further requests.
But the big question is WHAT is causing the problem?
I have noticed that the Memory usage metric in Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control steadily increases over time and when it reaches about 125Mb then I get the OutofMemory exception.
Another metric that steadily increases is the total JDBC connections but I am not sure if this is a problem or not as no Documentation from Oracle provides sufficient explanation of what this number is all about!!
I have also noticed that each time we redeploy the provider that contains the portlets to the OC4J_WSRP container the Memory Usage increases significantly (about 2Mb more) and this memory is never given back to the OS but only when the OC4J_WSRP is restarted...
Does anybody have an explanation to this?
Thank you

Do you mean the OC4J_WSRP container?
Is it a production system or you are in development period??
Because I suspect that the memory increases with the continuous re-deployments of the provider.
maybe if we discuss the problem we will be able to find a solution together...

Session problem in JSP portlet

Hi,
I have a jsp portlet. In this jsp i am creating a session and i am putting some value in session. There is navigation from this jsp to second jsp(not portlet) and from this jsp to third jsp(again this is also not a portlet). Now in third jsp i am trying to retrieve the value from session. But i am getting null value.
In provider i given <session>true</session> element. While registering provider with portal given login frequency 'once per user session'.
The code in first jsp is:
PortletRenderRequest portletRequest = (PortletRenderRequest) request.getAttribute(HttpProvider.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
ProviderSession mySession = portletRequest.getSession();
if(mySession != null){
mySession.putValue(PortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(portletRequest.getPortletReference(), "const"), str);
From the code i found that the session itself is not created.
Sorry for the lengthy question.
Pls. help me.
Rgds,
CRM.
null

To share a session between a web provider and other JSPs or Servlets, you need to make sure the "Same Cookie Domain" checkbox is checked AND your session cookie is scoped to a common domain (eg us.oracle.com)
See documents on session handling and Integrating Password Protected Applications into Oracle Portal - downloadable from portalstudio.oracle.com.
