Announcing: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper

Just Released: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper
A supplemental developer's guide has been published to help guide WLP 10.x customers that wish to use JSF as the web framework for building portlets on WebLogic Portal. This is a sizable document (150 pages) that covers a large number of topics. It also coaches developers on best practices and common pitfalls.
Important: It also clarifies the supported configuration of JSF within Portal Web Projects. Workshop for WebLogic by default configures a web project in a configuration that is not supported by WebLogic Portal. The guide explains how to address this:
* Change from the unsupported MyFaces JSF implementation to the supported Sun Reference Implementation (RI)
* Change from the unsupported "client" STATE_SAVING_METHOD to the supported "server"
The guide can be downloaded here:

Hi Peter!
First, I wish to thank you for the great work.
We followed your whitepaper and managed to deploy a JSF portlet on WLS.
But we are not able to register it (consume it) as remote portlet in Oracle Portal 10.1.4. The error log is as follows:
An error occurred while trying to refresh the provider. (WWC-43190)
An error occurred during the call to the WSRP Provider:

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?

Problems with Integrating SRM, ESS/MSS into one portal 7.01

We are having major problems with integrating SRM, ESS/MSS into one portal 7.01?
Do we need to have a support portal for each.
We created test users for systems but sometimes we lose the users for no apparrent reasons. Very strange. Please advise and if you have new documentation regarding SAP Portal Authorization it will be helpful.

Hi

Java Message Service (JMS) is a standard API for accessing enterprise messaging systems.
And WebLogic JMS is an enterprise-class messaging system that is tightly integrated into the WebLogic Server platform. It fully supports the JMS Specification.

Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal (Oracle White paper May 2009)

I have created a simple JSF Portlet following the steps delineated in paragraph 3.1.1 Creating a JSF Enabled WLP Web Project of the white paper mentioned above. I used Workshop for Weblogic 10gR3. When I tried to deploy that very simple portlet and portal I got this error message :
"!MESSAGE Unable to register J2EE shared library C:\bea\wlportal_10.3\samples\lib\j2ee-modules\wlp-sample-lookandfeel-web-lib.war".
Clearly the folder and file "samples\lib\j2ee-modules\wlp-sample-lookandfeel-web-lib.war" are not under my "C:\bea\wlportal_10.3". My question is where do I download it? Where does it come from?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe you did not include the samples when you installed Oracle WebLogic Portal? Now that this is an Oracle product, samples are not installed or configured by default. This is a change in policy from when WebLogic Portal was a BEA thing, so it takes some getting used to and there are probably plenty of places where documentation and papers could be enhanced to emphasize this.
In addition, it looks like there might be an error in the white paper with respect to configuring your web app to include samples. I don't see any mention of taking an extra step to include the sample facets in your portal app. This oversight may have been caused by the author working with a pre-release of Oracle WebLogic Portal that had not yet been "Oracle-ized" enough to get the default samples out of there. In the old days, I think the samples were automatically included in your portal web app.
To get the samples in a new portal web app while you are creating it with the IDE you can click the "Modify..." button on the first dialog. It is next to the "Configuration" text area. This pops up a dialog that lets you select the "Weblogic Portal Samples" facet for your web app.
To get the samples in an existing portal web app after it has been created, right click the app in the IDE, click "Properties...", click "Project Facets", and select the "Weblogic Portal Samples".
Sorry, I'm not sure what the remedy is for getting samples into an installed product that was not installed with the samples. Unfortunately, I think that is the problem that you need solved. Sorry about that. Hopefully you are working in a test or dev environment that makes it easy to blow away old installations and start over? If not, then maybe install it with samples someplace else and copy the samples/... dir over to your other install?

Error after Integrating of Xcelsius SWF into Enterprise Portal

Hi all,
I integrated Xcelsius SWF file into portal using Business Objects Integration Kit - iView Template. I can see dashboard in Portal. Its working fine. I have Refresh Button in the Dashboard. If I refresh the dashboard , it shows cannot access External Data. Failed to get the document information(LO26315).
How can I resolve? Help me in this regard.
I am using BOE 3.1 and LO 3.1.
Thanks & Regards,
Hemalatha J

With a Live Office connection, you would typically use the URL iView and the opendocument URL to integrate the dashboard into the Enterprise Portal. There are existing posts on this forum about opendocument and Xcelsius dashboards.
Obviously you need to make sure the dashboard refreshes fine outside of the portal, for instance from Infoview.
Then, you need to look at the cross domain constraints : have both Infoview and Enterprise Portal in the same domain or use crossdomain.xml. They are lots of posts on this forum about that too.

Deploying an existing WAR file into the Portal

I have downloaded the Enterprise Portal and the SAP Netweaver Developer Studio (NDS) and have succeeded in creating a couple of projects of the Hello World variety and deployed them on the Portal! So far, so good.
The problem I have is that need to deploy on the Portal an existing JSP/Struts application of ours which is available as a Web Archive (WAR) file.
The problem is that I cannot find a way of deploying an existing WAR file on the Portal either via a Project or otherwise. I have found an entry in the Help files with the NDS which sounds promising, as it is entitled Import a .WAR File into a new project. However, the menu entry it says you should use (File ‑> Import ‑> MDK: Import a web archive (.WAR) into a new project) this last entry does not exist on my installation of NDS.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi Mustafa (and All) - thanks you very much for your answers, which has enabled me to make good progress.
I have created a project in the Deploy Tool, imported a simple WAR file into it, loaded to project and depployed it on my instance of the Portal - or at least I have deployed it as far as the Deploy Tool is concerned.
However, when I try to find it in the Portal in order to assign it to an iView in the Portal content, I can't find any evidence of its existence!!
As another 'tack' in the NDS I have created an 'Enterprise Application Project', into which I appear to have imported the WAR file - but I cant package this as a PAR file, which is what I seem to need to do to get it into an iView on the Portal. To create a PAR package I seem to need to create a 'Portal Application Project' - but I can't find a way of getting the WAR file into that!!
Any further advice would be greatefully received.
Thanks for your help to date and thanks in advance for any more you may be able to give.
Regards,
Dave

What should I do?

Hello Kevin,
my answers:
Are there any error or warning messages on the application server console when you deploy the generated EAR?When I checked the Auto-deploy checkbox and press Perform Import on the Import Tool page, I had:
Import Successful... Generated EAR:C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlportal_10.3\samples\domains\portal\helloApp.ear
But helloApp had the Warning status (Health column) on the Deployment page of the WL Server Administration Console
Health Information:

All changes have been activated. No restarts are necessary.
The deployment has been successfully installed.
But helloApp had the Warning status (Health column) too.
Also, earlier you said that you were using WLP 10.3.2, but this issue sounds very similar to something
that happened in a previous version of WLP, so I just want to check with you again that you're using WLP 10.3.2, correct?Yes, I am using WLP *10.3.2*

Integrating existing WLS apps into portal

Hi all,
I would like to know which is the best approach to integrate existing WLS web applications into a 8.1 portal environment. By "integrating" I mean a single sign-on and sign-out scenario. The portal user should only log in once and the session information should be conveyed to the other application(s). The other applications could run in full-screen portlet with its existing navigation. The existing applications are running on different server instances (and also hardware) and different versions (6.1, 7.0 and 8.1). I would be grateful for any suggestions or best-practices. Thanks in advance.
Best regards
mciuchini

The first thing I would look into is establishing trust between the domain: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/secmanage/domain.html
This would enable single sign on...
Then, I would look into creating meaningful portlets that launch you into your pre-existing portlets...

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.

Integration of J2EE application with weblogic portal

Hi guys,
I have an application hosted on an iplanet web server. This application uses servlet 2.2, jsp 1.1 of J2EE platform.
And I have a microsoft application running on .NET platform.
I want integrate above 2 applications into webloigc 8.1 portal. What are the different ways in which i can do this and where can i find specific material on this.
advance thanks for your help
gopaluni

Basically I am saying that your options are
1. Screenscraping the apps into portlets
2. Using SSO to login to the apps, but keepin them separate
3. Using Web Services to consume parts of the apps and exposing those as portlets
For our application we do 2 and 3. In many cases we just create portlets that represents views into other j2ee apps. When the users click on something, we launch the j2ee app in a popup browser. The users are already signed on, and taken to a specific detail page, add page or something within the app directly.
Hope this helps.

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:
