JSR 168 support on production environment??

Hello Oracle people,
when are you going to support JSR168 portlets in you Oracle Portal?? Where is the money customers pay you for working? not enough? What do we do with this piece of closed source box you gave us if you can not be ahead many other open source (free) products? Can you stand the pace? you say "we support standards"... and I see you are falling behind.

you should be demanded because of the way you assure support of the JSR168 in your executive brochures... Any layer out there who can help?
Look this question and how Oracle answers:
Does Oracle Portal support JSR 168 and WSRP?
Oracle has been an active member of the standards bodies and been instrumental in the process of defining these portal interoperability standards:
* JSR-168: Defines how Java developers should write portlets using standard APIs.
* OASIS WSRP (Web Services for Remote Portlets): Defines the communication protocol between a portal application and the remote portlet./li>
Oracle fully supports the JSR 168 portlet specification. You can develop JSR 168 portlets using the Java Portlet Wizard, a JDeveloper plug-in. You can also deploy JSR 168 portlets to Oracle's or any other vendor's JSR 168 Java Portlet Container. Portlets deployed to Oracle's container are exposed to portals through WSRP, and can be registered against any portal vendor's WSRP compliant portal. The current version of Oracle Portal (Oracle Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)) does not support WSRP, but you can register and test standard portlets using the OracleAS Portal Developer's Preview for Portlet Standards or the hosted WSRP compliant portal on http://portalstandards.oracle.com. You find additional information about Oracle and Portal standards on http://portalstandards.oracle.com.
When there is a simple answer: NO we do not support the JSR168 in Oracle Portal. We do a lot of other things... see this and that. But sadly our Oracle Portal does not support it, you can test a preview version but if it crashes its your problem (we proudly do very expensive closed source :).

Is vmware supported for production environment ?

Hi All,
Is vmware supported for production environment ?
Thanks
Sunny

All,
I'm glad someone has outlined the clear support statement that has existed for sometime between VMware - SAP. For those of you still running on Oracle, here is some good news:
Wording towards SAP Customers requesting support:
"Oracle, VMware and SAP are working collaboratively to ensure support for SAP customers that use VMware virtualization for SAP solutions running Oracle DB. Functional tests are currently being performed to verify supportability of the SAP&Oracle stack. Details will be made available in SAP note 1173954 u201CSupport of Oracle for VMwareu201D after tests have been completed. It is expected that in Q1 2010, ESX 3.5 and later releases including vSphere 4 will be supported by Oracle and SAP according to Oracleu2019s metalink note 249212."
There is no reason why x86 platform today cannot run the most demanding workloads on VMware vSphere in a production environment. But has noted earlier, don't get hung up on "production" - you have heaps of TestDev, SolMan TestDev, sandboxes, gateways, application servers etc that should immediately by put into a VM - once you are comfortable with your solution in-house, I'm sure you will move production instances into a VM as well.
Below are some great resources for you to use in your quest to virtualize SAP on VMware:

JSR-168 Support

JSR 168 support and portlet taglib

I could not find support for the ActionURL tag in the JSR 168 release for 8.1.
Are these tags available? If so, where can I find them?
Thanks,
Steve

Chris,
You can obtain an instance of renderRequest from the http request as in:
<%
RenderRequest renderRequest = (RenderRequest)
request.getAttribute("javax.portlet.request");
%>
Alternatively, if you've JSP base class set to
com.bea.portlet.jsp.PortletJspBase in your weblogic.xml (see WLS docs on
how to set a default base class for JSPs), all JSPs in your webapp can
automatically access renderRequest, renderResponse and portletConfig
variables directly, as in
<%
renderResponse.createActionURL(...);
%>

Where is JSR-168 support?

Hi all,
I do manage to create jsr-168 jsf portlets using JSC , But one thing i failed to understand. I dont see the code as a standard jsr-168 portlet. Where is the processAction()? where is the request response object. Now i use to follow jsr-168 specs to get user information and to get portlet url.. How could i achieve this in Sun java Creator
regard
Kimi

portlet url could probably be managed in part by ((PortletContext)getFacesContext().getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getContext()).getRealPath("/")
to get at least the relative part of the path. In terms of the full url, not sure where you can find the server portion.
For the rest of the questions, I would love to get the answer. I can't find much documentation online on how to really extend processAction for our own uses.

Support for JSR 168 and WSRP

Hi,
does SAP EP 7.0 supports JSR 168 and WSRP standards?
Regards,
Ladislav

Hi Ladislav,
Here are a few pointers that might answer your question:
- WSRP 1.0 is supported in NetWeaver 7.0 (see this [SAP Help Page|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/23fb36cad10d23e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm] for more information)
- JSR 168 support for Netweaver 7.0 has been discussed often but never confirmed in SAP documentation (check this thread for a recent SAP unofficial comment about its upcoming availability). However, NetWeaver CE 7.1 already supports JSR 168 (see this [SAP Help Page|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/5b96b37b6f4de1e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm])
Hope this helps.

How to deploy a JSR-168 Portlet in Weblogic?

I am running WLS 8.1 with the advanced JSR-168 support installed (not yet running
SP2). I have a JSR-168 portlet war that I had been testing in the JSR-168 reference
implementation (pluto). Can someone please point me to the instructions on how
to now import my portlet war into Workshop so that I can add it to my Weblogic
portal?
Thanks!
-David

You cannot simply "deploy" a JSR 168 portlet into Weblogic using a WAR file in
my experience. This is what I did to achieve deployment of a JSR 168 portlet in
BEA WLS 8.1SP2:
* File | New | Portlet | Java Portlet
* Just type in the name of your view class name when asked for it.
This creates a "YourAppName.portlet" file, which I believe Bea requires for any
Portlet in order to make it available for use in their portals.
* Add your files (*.jar, *.java *.jsp, etc).
* Modify WEB-INF/portlet.xml to include all required descriptor elements that
you have in your WAR file (keep in mind that there is only one portlet.xml for
all portlets in a single web application)
I was unable to use redirects for some reason, but it worked fine with include.

Portlet API: JSR 168 / 286 vs Vendor Extensions

Currently evaluating Websphere 5.1 vs WebLogic 8.1 Portal software.
It seems like both IBM and BEA push you towards using their Portal extensions as "value add" features. I am really interested in sticking to JSR 168 for portability.
Does anyone have any experience with these tools developing JSR 168? I would appreciate your observations about using the vendor extensions vs JSR 168 support in these tools. Please add any comments on other portal software you have had success with.
Any idea when will JSR 286 come out with final spec?

Spring and JSR 168 Portlet

I have an application which uses Spring beans and JSR 168 based portlet. I want to know how can i get access to the my spring beans in the portlet controller. I am trying to do the following
public WebApplicationContext getSpringContext(PortletRequest request) {
HttpServletRequest servletRequest = (HttpServletRequest)request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request");
WebApplicationContext appContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletRequest
.getSession().getServletContext());
return appContext;
Actually a NPE happens @ "servletRequest.getSession()"
The spring beans are initialized during deployment using the spring contextListener
This code works in other J2EE container which have JSR 168 support, like BEA, JBOSS
Any help is greatly appreciated.

OMG!
Today, I wanted to build a really simple portlet with spring, and deploy it on oc4j / iAS10gR2 - since it hoped it will ease development in the future.
Your post, doesn't motivate so much - but let's hope I've a bit more luck getting it running :)
-> Have you looked at the spring-framework 2.0.3 release demos? In the 2.0.3 release a new demo: petportal is included - maybe this helps :)

WSRP/JSR-168 for production?

Maybe I'm missing something, but from my little research on the use of WSRP/JSR-168 within Portal, all indications are this is not ready for production use. Meaning, if I use JDeveloper (or some other tool) I cannot deploy production quality Portlets based on these standards within Portal 10g (9.0.4). Is this correct, or did I miss something?
Given this, my only choice is to use the JPDK if I wish to develop Java based portlets.
Thanks...
Dean

Hi all,
Even i am also looking for if any body has consumed the JSR168 portlet on
OracleAs Portal 10g Release 2.
I have found some article where it is mentioned that
Production Support for JSR 168 and WSRP
Once upgraded to Oracle Portal 10.1.4, a repository only upgrade on top of OracleAS 10.1.2.0.2, your portal version provides production support for building and consuming standards-based portlets. Oracle portal provides a Java Portlet Wizard within Oracle JDeveloper to build JSR 168 portlets and publish those portlet to Oracle's container or any portlet standards container. You can then consume JSR 168 portlet with Oracle Portal through WSRP. Oracle Portal also supports consuming any portlet through WSRP as well as JPDK portlets.
U can read the complete details here:-

Thnx

JSR 168 and Struts support sample error

I'm trying to get the sample webapp for JSR 168 and Struts support working with
WebLogic 8.1, and I'm having problems with the struts portlet. The other portlets
seem to work fine, but the Struts portlet gives the following error after clicking
"Save" on most of the forms:
Page Flow Error - Action Not Found
Page Flow: Global.app
Action: html-setters.do
Unable to find action html-setters.do.
That error appears in the browser. At the same time, the following exception
appears in the server window:
<Aug 18, 2003 4:34:12 PM EDT> <Error> <netui> <BEA-420012> <There was an error
while running a lifecycle stage :: Lifecycle: UIControl.render :: for the control
:: null ::.
com.bea.netuix.nf.UIControlException: For portlet [strutsPortlet], could not do
page flow lookup for the given action [html-setters.do] in the given PageFlow:
[struts/exercise-taglib].
This exception is followed by hundreds of lines of the following:
at com.bea.wlw.netui.pageflow.scoping.ScopedServletUtils.strutsLookup(ScopedServletUtils.java:363)
as well as several stack overflow errors.
I believe I have installed the JSR168 and Struts support package according to
the instructions, and have copied the required jars into the samples WEB-INF/lib
directory. I also have tried to write my own Struts application in a portlet,
and it gets the exact same errors when I try to submit a form to my actions.
Any insight would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Brodi,
I am having the same problem as Patrick. The problem is not in the struts portlet,
but in the forms the portlet navigates to. After the struts portlet loads, I
am able to use the html:links and navigate through the pages. Though when I try
to submit a form I get the action not found error. For example the html-select
page has a form. This page loads fine, but when I hit the save button I get the
following error.
<Aug 25, 2003 11:00:00 AM EDT> <Error> <netui> <BEA-420012> <There was an error
while running a lifecycle stage :: Lifecycle: UIControl.render :: for the contro
l :: null ::.
com.bea.netuix.nf.UIControlException: For portlet [strutsPortlet], could not do
page flow lookup for the given action [html-select.do] in the given PageFlow:
struts/exercise-taglib].
The application appears to loose the struts context. It tries to find the localhost:7001/samples/html-select.do
action instead of localhost:7001/samples/struts/exercise-taglib/html-select.do
action. How do I keep the application from loosing context?
Thank you,
Karen

I've seen similar things happen when the module name is either not specified
correctly
in the StrutsContent element in the portlet, or when the module is misconfigured,
usually because of either a mising config file or a mis-named config
file.
Ensure that you have a the struts config file for the exercise-taglib
module in
WEB-INF, named jpf-struts-config-struts-exercise-taglib.xml.

Support of JSR 168 and JSR 286 portlets

Hi,
As far as I know there is no direct support for JSR 168 compliant portlets in the SAP portal. Remote portlets can be consumed using WSRP. I was wondering whether the SAP portal will provide direct support for JSR 168 or even JSR 286 portlets in future releases?
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Long time ago SAP promised to implement JSR 168. Nowadays, you don't find much official documentation stating SAP portal is JSR168 compliant.
SAP introduced the Federated Portal Network (Consumer and Producer portals), also with WSRP support.

JSR 168 / WSRP support in EP

Hi All,
As I am getting no clear reply, I would like to ask the SDN-ers for help regarding the JSR 168 and WSRP support by the Portal.
Can anyone tell me whether any of the above standards is supported by the NW'04 or NW'04s - and if not (i guess this is the case for JSR 168) - for which NW release it is planned ?
I will appreciate your quick reply
Regards
Maciek

Yeah, but I was hoping for some more up-to-date news... This one is dated august'05. I have a presentation saying that BOTH WSRP and JSR168 will be available as of 04's ("Project Paris").
We do have the WSRP - but it seems that in the meantime the JSR is gone...

Support For JSR 168 PortletSession Ojbect

Recently, I've written a JSR 168 portlet and attempted to use the PortletSession object to persist some information between user requests. The portlet puts properties on the PortletSession (String and object properties), but the JSP page can not see them. Within the JSP I've tried accessing the properties with the JSP session and by casting the session to a PortletSession. Either way, it doesn't work.
I reviewed the sample Google and RSS portlets and they are not using PortletSession but persisting only String data in render parameters. I've read the JSR 168 specification and you should be able to do what I'm doing and use the PortletSession. Anyone have any ideas?

How are you getting the session? Are you using the defineObject tags and then getting the portletSession from renderRequest?
If you like, send an example of the code in the jsp page & I can try it out.
