JSF portlet library in JSF 1.1

1. Is JSF portlet library part of released binary for JSF 1.1?
2. Is it supposed to be? Is SUN going to support this library? and also ship in binary form?
If answer to 2 is yes where is the binary for 1.1 released bits?

Dear Jayashri,
I'm getting the following exception:
500 Internal Server Error
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException
at com.sun.faces.taglib.jsf_core.ViewTag.doStartTag(ViewTag.java:117)
at seguridad.Login._jspService(Login.jsp:5)
[seguridad/Login.jsp]
I'm getting it very often, in several JSPs, in a randomly fashion. I'm using JSF 1.1_01, running on Oracle OC4J.
I downloaded the JSF 1.1 source code and started to research it. I found that ViewTag.java is calling the doStartTag() method from UIComponentTag.java. In the latest class, there are 3 cases where am exception is being thrown. Two of them show a "PENDING - i18n" comment, like if it was not finished by the developers.
I found you CVS developer ID in some of the source code, so I thought about searching for you on the sun forums and write you. Luckily, I found you.
Question: This is a bug, right? Is this related to i18n? I'm running my JSF pages on Spanish (<f:view locale="es-es">), so I guess this is in fact an i18n.
What can I do to avoid this situation? Is there a fix?
PLEASE help me, we are developing a very critical app

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:

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?

JSF, Portlets

Hello!
I am working on a JSF-Portlet application. Well, I have succeeded in developing a JSF-Portlet application using Sun OpenPortal's JSF-Portlet Bridge. This was all working fine. But I when I try to include Tomahawk, it seems if Tomahawk is not supported by OpenPortal's JSF-Portlet Bridge. I have to embed TabbedPane in my project. Please help me by answering one of my two questions.
1. Do I need to configure OpenPortal's JSF-Portlet bridge to use it with Tomahawk?
OR
2. Is there any other Rich library like Tomahawk, that will adjust with OpenPortal's JSF-Portlet Bridge without any configuration?
I will be grateful to you. Thank you in advance.

You can try WoodStock library ( https://woodstock.dev.java.net/index.html ) which provides TabbedPane support and OpenPortal Jsf portlet bridge works with woodstock.
To develop jsf portlet application, you can use Portal Pack 2.0 's Visual Portlet Builder ( http://portalpack.netbeans.org ). Using this plug-in you can develop jsf portlet page in a WYSIWYG editor just through drag and drop. This plug-in uses WoodStock and JSF portlet bridge library for jsf portlet.
For more info you can check this blog

Need to add as a WSRP Connection in JDev for Weblogic Portal JSF Portlets.

I am trying to register WLP 10.3.4 JSF Portlets as a WSRP connection in JDev Webcenter 11.1.1.6 Portal Framework application . The below are steps:
-Created Simple WLP Application with JSF Portlets and deployed them on WLS 10.3.4 domain.
-The WSDL url available is http://localhost:7003/TEST_WEB_PORTAL/producer?wsdl
-Now Open JDev and created WCP Framwork app
-Under Application Resource, right click on Connections -> New Connection -> WSRP Producer.
-Click Next on step1 -> Enter WSDL URL on Step 2 and then click next on next 3 screens.
-It tries to register but ended up with below exception:

Hi,
I tried creating a simple JSF portlet and I can able to register and it is working Fine, but my teammet got the same issue like you :) . While Analyzing what I found is , the location where we created the portlet in weblogic portal. If you created your portlet directly under WebContent folder then this issue is coming up, so try to create the portlet in a folder inside the WebContent folder, say create a folder with name portlets under webcontent and create the JSF portlet inside that portlets folder.
Now start the server and register the same in WebCenter, you will not get that exception. I am going to raise a ticket with Oracle about this issue and get the root cause.
Thanks

Why don't responseHeader's works in JSF Portlet

Hi All,
I have a JSF portlet where i want to save the contents of my Text area on the click of a button to a word document.(IBM Websphere portal) <h:inputTextarea id="text1" value="#{pc_TextAreaView.textAreaValue}" rows="10" cols="50" /> <h:commandButton id="save" value="Save As Word" action="#{pc_TextAreaView.SaveAsWord}"/> In my page bean i have written the follwoing code but the response.setHeader() doesn't seem to work.I am not getting any pop dialog and i cannot save my file.Please let me know what is wrong in this code snippet.How can i make it work in my portlet.
public String SaveAsWord() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)context.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-word");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=myfile.doc");
     response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
     try{
     byte[] buf=new byte[4*1024];
     InputStream inStream=new ByteArrayInputStream(textAreaValue.getBytes());
     OutputStream outStream=response.getOutputStream();
     int sizeRead;
     while ( ( sizeRead=inStream.read(buf, 0, buf.length) ) != -1 )
       outStream.write(buf, 0, sizeRead);
     inStream.close();
     outStream.close();

Hi ,
I am working with jsf 1.2 and jasper 3.0.
For this problem just try with "aFacesContext.responseComplete();" method. This will work!
Here is my code for generating pdf file report.
demoreport.jsp code:
<h:commandLink immediate="true" actionListener="#{reportGenerator.generateReport}">
                              <h:outputText value="Generate Report"/>
                         </h:commandLink>Here is bean method: (ReportGenerator.java)
Note: Services is the user defined class for getting connection obj.
public void generateReport(ActionEvent actionEvent)
                                   throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException, IOException,JRException
          Connection connection;
          FacesContext aFacesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
          HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)aFacesContext.getExternalContext().getResponse();
          ServletContext context = (ServletContext)aFacesContext.getExternalContext().getContext();
          String reportFileName = context.getRealPath("/reports/DemoReport.jasper");
          System.out.println("reportFileName: "+ reportFileName);
          InputStream reportStream = aFacesContext.getExternalContext().getResourceAsStream("/reports/DemoReport.jasper");
          ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = response.getOutputStream();
          //Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
          connection = Services.getConnection(); //get the db connection.
          try{
          JasperRunManager.runReportToPdfStream(reportStream,servletOutputStream, new HashMap(),connection);
          catch(JRException lJRException){
               System.out.println("while run report");
               lJRException.printStackTrace();
          //connection.close();
          response.setContentType("application/pdf");
          response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=DemoReport.pdf");
          servletOutputStream.flush();
          servletOutputStream.close();
          aFacesContext.responseComplete();
     }Regards,

Navigation problem in JSF portlet when using ADF

Hi All,
I am implementing a simple scenario wherein i have an ADF Business Component (a simple drop down) and a command button. On click of the button, there is a navigation from one jsp to another.
I am able to portletize a simple application using ADF Business Component.It runs fine when run on local.
But when i put it on portal, navigation does not work.the control is not transferred to the method of backing bean.It is not showing loggers either.
jdev version :10.1.3.3
oracle portal :10.1.4
Standalone OC4j : 10.1.3
If any one has working model of this, can you pls post the files used.
Also , if anyone has work around for same, it will be helpful.Thanks.

Hi George,
can u brief me on what exactly do you need ?
I am implementing a simple POC wherein i have made a ADF business component (which is just a DB fetch ) and i am dragging the same on index.jspx page.I have a command button on the same page which when clicked directs me to welcome.jspx.(it first goes to managed bean and returns success.)
And i am portletising this .. all this works fine on local ... even on portletising it runs fine .. But when i register this portlet on oracle portal .. navigation between index.jspx and welcome.jspx does not work.
If you need more inputs,let me knw.I have uploaded configuration files in my previous post.Also i am not getting any error when i am trying to make it work on portal..

Alpa

IsUserInRole from WC Portal to consumed JSF Portlet

Hi experts,
I'm trying to retrieve, the J2EE Roles [ Enterprise Roles a.k.a Security Realm "Groups" of a logged in user ]
from from consumer Webcenter Portal Application into a Producer JSF Portlet.I have seen there were many posts mentioning that this isUserInRole method always return false. I'm also facing the same problem.
My configurations are following -
Portlet Producer App
web.xml
<security-role>
<description>RelationManager</description>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
</security-role>
<security-role>
<description>Team Leader</description>
<role-name>TL</role-name>
</security-role>
portlet.xml
<security-role-ref>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
<role-link>RM</role-link>
</security-role-ref>
weblogic.xml /* Have tried with & without creating this descriptor, but no luck */
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
<principal-name>RM</principal-name> /* I have defined a weblogic group by the name "RM" within defaultAuthenticator and assigned testUser to it. */
</security-role-assignment>
WC Consumer PortalApp
web.xml
<security-role>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
</security-role>
weblogic.xml
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
<principal-name>RM</principal-name> /* Since its the same WLS Server the same group as above will hold good */
</security-role-assignment>
+ I have done the mapping of UserGroups of the Portlets to J2EE Roles of Webcenter Portal consumer during Portlet Registration process.
I have a requestScoped managedBean within my JSFPortlet where I'm retrieving the user Principal and Roles -
public String getLoggedInUser() {
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.
getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ectx = facesContext.getExternalContext();
PortletRequest portletRequest = (PortletRequest)ectx.getRequest();
return ( portletRequest.getUserPrincipal().getName());
public String getPortletUserRole(){
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext. getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
PortletRequest portletRequest = (PortletRequest)externalContext.getRequest();
if ( portletRequest.isUserInRole ("RM") == true ) return "RM" ;
else return "";
Results :
The getLoggedInUser returns ""
And so does the getPortletUserRole method.
What am I missing and whether this is the correct approach to get the userRoles from PortalApp to Portlet.
Env: JDEV 11.1.1.5 , Integrated WLS
Note: I haven't done any configuration related to WS-Security between Portal App and Portlet App,_ since both are deployed to the same integrated Server.

If you haven't already you have to perform user category mapping between the portal roles to portlet roles.
This can be achieved using WLST scripts.
Thanks.

JSF Portlet default view (FacesPortlet)

If we are creating a JSF based portlet using Sun's JSF RI and jsf-portlet bridge, then in portlet.xml we define this:
{color:#0000ff}
<portlet>
<portlet-name>myPortlet</portlet-name>
<portlet-class>
com.sun.faces.portlet.FacesPortlet
</portlet-class>
<init-param>
<name>com.sun.faces.portlet.INIT_VIEW</name>
<value>/default.jsp</value>
</init-param>
</portlet>{color}
But in faces-config.xml, we define our navigation using navigation-cases, like this:
{color:#008000}
{color}
{color:#0000ff}
<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>exceptionNavigation</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/error.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>{color}
What I'm trying to do is this:
I want to programmatically access the navigation rule which references the default view.
I can fish out the INIT_VIEW value using:
{color:#0000ff}
String initView = application.getInitParameter(com.sun.faces.portlet.LifecycleImpl.INIT_VIEW_PARAMETER);{color}
But this returns me the actual jsp name, ie: {color:#0000ff}/default.jsp{color}
This means I cannot use faces to navigate to it, like this:
{color:#0000ff}
application.getNavigationHandler()
.handleNavigation( context, null, initView );{color}
As the navigation model is core to JSF, would it not be better for FacesPortlet to require, in portlet.xml,
a global navigation-case rather than just a jsp page?
This would apply to EDIT_VIEW, HELP_VIEW, etc.
In order to implement the functionality I want, I have to specify my default or INIT_VIEW page twice, once in portlet.xml and a second time in faces-config.xml. What is more, I cannot use this as independent code, because I have to know or prescribe the navigation-case containing the default/initView to the user of the code:
{color:#0000ff}
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>com.sun.faces.portlet.INIT_VIEW</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/default.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>{color}
Regards,
Stewart
PS: How do I display code correctly using this editor?

I have answered my own question. This is how to programmatically access the INIT_VIEW jsp in this situation:
ExternalContext econtext = context.getExternalContext();
String initViewId = (String) econtext.getRequestMap().get(
(String) econtext.getRequestMap().get(
com.sun.faces.portlet.LifecycleImpl.INIT_PARAMETER ));
UIViewRoot viewRoot = context.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(context, initViewId);
context.setViewRoot(viewRoot);
context.renderResponse();
It the viewId IS the jsp name, and navigation can be achieved directly on the jsp name using the ViewHandler class. This is what the NavigationHandler does, under the bonnet (sorry, hood).
Give myself a Duke Star!

JSF Portlet doesn't render after EventHandler

I'm trying to set up basic event IPC between 2 JSF portlets in WLP 10.3.2.
Portlet A has a JSP with an inputText and and a commandLink:
<h:inputText value="#{aBean.inputValue}"/>
<h:commandLink action="#{aBean.clickMe}" value="Click Me">
</h:commandLink>Backing action creates the event:
public String clickMe() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
    ActionRequest ar = (ActionRequest)ec.getRequest();
    HttpServletRequest request =
        (HttpServletRequest) ar.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request");
    PortletBackingContext pbc =
        PortletBackingContext.getPortletBackingContext(request);
    pbc.fireCustomEvent("clickMe", inputValue);
    return "";
}Portlet B is configured with Init-Param:
javax.portlet.faces.bridgeEventHander=com.example.event.EventHandlerand Java Processing Event for {urn:com:oracle:wlp:netuix:event:custom}clickMe
EventHandler has:
public EventNavigationResult handleEvent(FacesContext context, Event event) {
    String elExpression = "#{bBean}";
    ELContext elContext = context.getELContext();
    ValueExpression valueExpression = context.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(
        elContext, elExpression, BBean.class);
    BBean bBean = (BBean)valueExpression.getValue(elContext);
    bBean.setDisplayValue((String) event.getValue());
    return null;//new EventNavigationResult(null, "clickMe");
}It doesn't seem to matter whether or not I return an EventNavigationResult.
If I have both portlets displayed on the same portal page, portlet B is not rendered after the event processing. Only the portlet header displays.
As a workaround, I found that if I set a WLP-Handled Event to Handle Custom Event and Change Window State to normal, the portlet renders correctly. However, this workaround does not work if the portlets are on different portal pages as my usecase requires.
Am I missing something or what do I need to do to get the receiving portlet to render? Anyone have a basic JSF event IPC example working?

Difficulty creating portlets out of JSF's

I have followed the “Building Portlets from Oracle ADF Faces Applications (JSF Portlet Bridge)” guide. I ether have no data in the portlet or “Portlet unavailable” text in the portlet. I have tried the solution suggested in “E.1.5.9 Portlet Unavailable Error” with out success. All of my JSF projects function correctly as standard web pages.
- using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2
- deploying to Embedded OC4J Sever
- connecting to Oracle 9i database

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?

Why can't I debug my JSF Portlet application after inserting an IFrame

Hi,
1) I created a jsf portlet application
2) I add a button in my jsf portlet application
3) I can debug my button's action method
4) Now I open my jsp editor and add an iframe
<iframe height="500" id="ifWindow" name="ifWindow"/>
5) I try to debug my button's action method but the debug cursor never reaches it like in step 3
6) I added a messageGroup but nothing appears there
7) I monitored "C:\Program Files\Sun\Creator2_1\SunAppServer8\domains\creator\logs\server.log" and nothing appears there
Is this a bug in Java Studio Creator or is there a problem with iframe in jsf portlet applications?
Why can't I debug a jsf portlet application if I put an iframe?
Has anyone got this to work in their jsf portlet application? What can I do to debug this simple application?
Thanks,
Marc

Hi,
I figured it out. I can debug my jsf application if I placed the iframe outside the <ui:form> element. If it's inside, I cannot debug the application. Are there any books or tutorials that I can read to get rules like this in JSF development?

JSF Portlet keeps last navigated page

I have a small JSF application where there is a simple navigation from first displayed JSP pageA to JSP pageB:
(of course with a managed bean
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/portlets/pageA.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/portlets/pageB.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
As a standalone Web app the first pageA is always redisplayed with the main app url.
However configured as a JSF portlet, after navigating to pageB, the portlet will always redisplay pageB!
What configuration am i missing to reset to first pageA when redisplay main portal page?
thanks.

on a second thought the behavior i see might be valid due to the fact that i specify in my navigation rule a <from-view-id>, which as soon as i'm on pageB no longer applies, meaning there is no rule from pageB for same outcome, so pageB is still displayed.
I added an extra rule for pageB and a "Back" button on pageB and now i can go back to initial page.
for me it is a bit unexpected, due to this view "statefulness", but does make sense, need to better master JSF ...

Chart component Library for JSF.

HI,
I've been testing the chart component library for JSF:
http://jschart.sourceforge.net
And it's very powerfull, but I think, is necessary more info about to develop appz with this.
Anyone knows, a blog or a web that contains any example of the use?
I've been working for days with the HOW TO in this web but it's very simply.
Thx in advance!!!
Regards.

I have successfully used the jfreechart (cewolf) charting library with creator...its simple to use but also allows complex charts if you wish....
