Issues with portal integration of Web dynpro for ABAP application

Question

Hi,
I have the following issues when i integrate a Web Dynpro for ABAP application with portal.
1. the iview does not contain some images, such as table scroll button images, maximize and close buttons of popups etc.
2. the iview loads properly, but there is an error in the status bar that says "Access denied"
3. is it possible to do absolute navigation from
   role1->folder1->iview1 to role1->folder2->iview2?
   when i fire this navigation from the webdynpro
   application, the navigation does not happen in the
   portal.
thanks,
Kavitha

I think you are overestimating the power of the SCM_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module.  By supplying a URL as the value of the input text, it isn't going to magically go read the content from the remote location and convert that to a binary string.  It is going to take whatever value you supply in th importing TEXT parameter convert that to binary.  In other words it is literally converting the string http://xxx/test.xls to binary.  You will need some other mechanism to read the content from the remote location into ABAP memory before you can process it.  You will need to use the CL_HTTP_CLIENT class or call some sort of web service to retrive the content.
