Integrate a web application to a portal

I need some information or pointers (even better) and answers to 2
questions
1. I have a web app using jsps and servlets. If I want to integrate
this app to a portal, what is the right approach? (considering the
fact that the app have a lot of jsp)
Assuming portlet is the way to go; how should I merge the user
interface of my existing app to the portlet?
2. Is web services only provided data, but not including any kind of
format information e.g. html tags?
thank you

With regard to your first question - porting web-app to portal, you will need to
focus on 2 areas:
1. Navigation between pages within your current web-app. These will need to be
ported to the BEA workflow framework so URLs can be resolved at run-time by the
portal framework.
2. Access control. If you have access control - then you will need to port this
to the portal framework.
Outside of these 2 issues - what you need to do - from a high level - is create
a portlet which will house your web-app and move your jsp / other resources to
the portlet directory. Update the web.xml file to reflect any resources you are
using or special configuration, e.g., tag-libs.....
Sorry i don't understand your second question...

  • Question about how to integrate struts web application into Weblogic Portal

    hi, I'm using Weblogic8.1 Portal and workshop to integrate my existing struts web applications. I know that the struts web application can be imported and integrated as a portlet. But I'm not sure how to integrate the corresponding EJB module into portal?
    any help appreciated!!

    should be simple...
    copy all the jpfs and other classes appropriately into a new portal app.
    Create a new Java Page Flow portlet.
    That should be it.
    The major thing to watch for is how your navigation etc change.

  • How to use servlets in portal web application in Weblogic Portal 4.0

    We are developing a Portal Web application using Weblogic Portal 4.0 where in we
    have the following scenario. one JSP in webflow of a portlet calls the PipeLine
    which does some processing and calls the servlet which is having the typical download
    functionality. The servlet is supposed to read the data from the pipeline session
    and create a CSV String that is dumped to the client browser. The problem is even
    we are doing response.setContentType("application/save") in the servlet it is
    still displaying the content as html in the portlet. I guess since all our request
    are send to the webflow contolling servlet and it is setting the content type
    and hence our servlet is not working. How do I solve this problem? Thanks Yogesh

    Hello,
    You can download these components from Service Market Place (service.sap.com/swdc) and:
    Download -> Support Packages and Patches -> Entry by Application Group -> "Support Packages and Patches" -> "SAP NetWeaver" -> "SAP NETWEAVER" -> "SAP NETWEAVER 2004S" -> "Entry by Component" -> "BI Java":
    BI BASE SERVICES 7.00
    BI WEB APPLICATIONS 7.00
    You have to download the SP that equals your APAP SP.
    Normally, these SCAs will be installed with installation of "BI Usage Type" of the J2EE engine.

  • Bex Web Application Designer issue: portal communication error

    hi experts,
    I am working with Bex Web Application Designer in BI7. we are using SP9. When i try to use the Web template its giving below error.
    The Requested operation could not be performed due to portal communication error.
    its message class is RSBOPLAP and message number is 018 and description is Java System error: An unknown error occured During portal communication.
    when i double click the below error details given.
    Diagnosis
    An error occurred in the BI components on the SAP J2EE Engine.
    System Response
    Procedure
    Contact your system administrator to have the error analyzed in detail.
    Procedure for System Administration
    Start the Visual Administrator, log on to the SAP J2EE Engine and choose "<J2EE_SID>" ->"Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Viewer".
    The file "defaultTrace.trc" includes detailed information about the error that occurred. In Windows, you can find this file in the Log Viewer under "Cluster <computer name>" -> "Server <server number>" -> "<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<INSTANCE>\j2ee\cluster\server<NUMBER>\log". ". In Unix, the file is located under "/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<NUMBER>/log".
    If the file does not include enough detail about the error, you can increase the log level to obtain more information. To do this, choose "<J2EE_SID>" -> "Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Configurator". On the "Locations" tab page, choose "com" -> "sap" -> "ip" -> "bi" -> "webapplications". Using the selection list on the right side of the screen, you can increase the log level, whereby "DEBUG" represents the log level with the most information. You can save your settings by choosing the "Save" icon. The change to the log level is active immediately. Once you have successfully analyzed the error, you should set the log level back to its default value using the appropriate pushbutton; continuous writing to the log file negatively affects the overall performance of the system.
    please give solutions to resolve the issue.
    regards

    hi shambhu,
    thanks for the reply, yes its related to basis but they are unable to trace it out. is SP9 support Bex Report Designer and Bex WAD??

  • How to integrate custom web application within Fusion Environment?

    Hi all,
    I have created a simple custom web application with JDeveloper (11.1.1.6.2).
    From JDeveloper this application is running successfully through the IntegratedWebLogicServer connected with our Fusion Database.
    Now I want to integrate this custom web application within our our Fusion Environment (11.1.4).
    The final goal is to make it available inside the navigator menu in Fusion Applications.
    I need some guidance how to get this done.
    For example I have created an EAR-file. Where should this file be deployed?
    How can I create an entry in the navigation menu pointing to this web application?
    The web application should be handled just like seeded pages. (no additional security, login, etc.) How do I manage that?
    I have checked several Oracle Guides and forums (also blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel), but still it is not clear to me.
    Maybe I am on the wrong track, I don't know.
    Kind regards,
    Cor van Dongen

    How you deploy your EAR depends on the type of environment you have. For "OnSite" deployment you would need to contact the production system administrator to have your application deployed on the production WLS. The administrator would decide where and how the application is deployed, the process would be specific to the site.
    The security behavior depends on the configuration, e.g. when you enable security on your application various [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/adding_security.htm#BGBDEHFH]files are created / updated. When deployed to production these configurations need to be changed to suite the production instance, i.e. in development environments authentication is enforced by security constraints while in production this is achieved e.g. using OAM policies. The specific details depend on the instance.
    For Cloud environments you would need to deploy the application e.g. on [url https://cloud.oracle.com/mycloud/f?p=service:home:0]Java Cloud Service instance as applications cannot be deployed on the Cloud production instance.
    To integrate with the navigator menu refer to the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/fusionapps.1111/e16691/ext_nm.htm]Customizing the Navigator Menu documentation.

  • Cross Web Applications Communication in Portal

    does anybody knows how multiple web apps communicate in Portal? How are data exchanged?

    Viren,
    I guess you must choose the required version of BEx Web: SAP BW 2.x/3.x or SAP NetWeaver BI (valid for SAP NetWeaver 2004s and higher).   Please try by checking the SAP NetWeaver BI  for Iviews

  • How create iViews to integrate remote CE applications into central portal ?

    Hello,
    Our Central corporate Portal is a SAP Netweaver 7.0 EHP1, we also have a CE 7.1 Portal (Netweaver 7.1).
    As explained in SAP demo, we now have the possibility to integrate into the central portal , remote java applications deployed on Composite Environnement 7.1, by using the Application Integrator, meaning that we can create Portal iViews that will integrate the CE 7.1 application similar to any other application integrated into the portal.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/50786c8a-8138-2c10-f883-e157347a95a6&overridelayout=true
    The upside of this strategy is that you do not need anymore to define a Federated Portal Network. (FPN)
    I tried to create the afordmentionned iviews in the Central Portal, but I couldn't,  in the Portal Content, I created the new Iview :
    --->iView template - create an iView from an existing iView template
    --->Remote Application Integration iView (Web Dynpro Java)
    --->I gave the Iview a name and an ID, then I had the following error message
    Step 3:
    The template you selected allows you create local iViews that run a remote Web Dynpro Java application deployed on a different portal installation.
    Choose the producer portal to which the remote Web Dynpro Java application has been deployed.
    Note: Make sure that a system administrator has created and registered a connection to the relevant producer portal.
    EMPTY_REMOTE_PORTALS_LIST
    I seems that the system is reacting as if I was trying to setup a FPN. But I have no producer portal nor consumer portal, I just want to use the Application Integrator.
    Any help on this issue would be really appreciated.
    Best Regards.
    Raoul

    Hi Raoul,
    I have the same problem and can't create remote Application Integration iview(Web Dynpro Java) and have message  EMPTY_REMOTE_PORTALS_LIST
    Did you solve this problem? If you solve it, could you share experience.

  • How can I integrate Visual Composer applications with enterprise portal

    Hello All,
    I have a requirement to show BI reports built from webapplicaoins and Visual Composer to present on the Enterprise Portal 7.0
    Can anybody suggest me the procedure to do the same.
    Thanks

    Hi Agarwal
    When you create and deploy a VC application, the deployed iView/s are automatically created in the portal under the folder that you have specified (in VC Tools> Compiler options>portal deployment), or by default under Content Administration>Portal Content>Visual Composer folder.
    Check this for your BI, VC and Portal requirement:
    <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ad182ac7-0a01-0010-4fb8-8a4d217b19c1">https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ad182ac7-0a01-0010-4fb8-8a4d217b19c1</a>
    You can then use these iViews with your role, page, etc.

  • Integrating existing Web application with Oracle Portal

    Hi,
    I have an existing application which is purely written in servlets and which is in use for quite some time. I have a requirement now of moving this application onto the Oracle Portal.
    I was just wondering if we have any quick meanse of doing this or we have to re develop from scratch in oracle Portal server(ByDefining page, Page templates..etc).
    Advance thanks for your help
    Thanks
    Sreedhar

    What do you mean with "moving this application onto the Oracle Portal"?
    The best expedite way is use in the portal a LINK that direct your users to the actual app.
    Another quick thing you could do is use the IFRAME TAG (only works in IE). This way you can embed your app in Portal (show it in some area in portal)
    Then comes the complex things:
    - You can activate SSO to your applications ( which is not THAT difficult)
    - You can PORTLATIZATE your app, this doesn't means that you have to rewrite all, but still you need to write in a "Oracle Java Way" some thing to get it work..
    You can see this link if you're using portal 10.1.2:
