Launch webhelp Topic from a web application; problem calling another topic

My client has a web application for which I have created a WebHelp Help Guide.
I have RH8 v8.0.2.208 running on Windows XP SP3.
When the user clicks a Help icon on the web app screen, it launches a corresponding Help topic. The developer has managed to launch the full Help Guide, at the required topic, by using something like "help/imrd_help.htm#edit_subject_details.htm". So far, so good: this works fine for the first topic.
But if the user leaves the Help Guide open, switches back to the web app, works through to another page in the web app, and clicks for a new Help Topic (say, "help/imrd_help.htm#add_new_user.htm"), the old topic stays on screen: the Help Guide does not update to the required Help topic.
Any ideas how to fix this please, so that it calls the new topic?
Thanks.

IMAP/SSL: problem connecting from a web application

Hi,
I try to connect to a IMAP/SSL server (with a self-signed certificate) from a web application. I followed http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip115.html.
When I try to connect from a java application it works fine. But when I try it from a servlet, it fails:
javax.mail.MessagingException: gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory;
nested exception is:
     java.net.SocketException: gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory
     at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.protocolConnect(IMAPStore.java:461)
     at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:236)I use Tomcat 5.5, jdk1.5.0_06 and javamail-1_3_3_01. Here is my code:
          Security.setProperty( "ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "gaeron.gcrm.test.mail.DummySSLSocketFactory");
Properties props = new Properties();
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
store.connect(server, 993, username, password);
store.close();Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Előd.

I am not sure there is a class called MBoxSSLFactory. Is that a typo? We are in the same boat. We have a web application running on Tomcat that needs to connect to the IMAP store on the MS Exchange 2003 Server. It was working fine until we enabled Basic Authentication - SSL/TLS required setting on it.
In order to eliminate any complications due to Tomcat and all we are trying to get a simple standalone program that talks to IMAP server (using the DummySSLSocketFactory, DummyTrustManager etc) working.
I am stuck on the same error: (shown below is the stack trace and the code we are running). I have tried all the suggestions that have been posted on this "Unconnected Sockets not implemented" issue. I have tried it with both Jdk 1.4.2_08 and JDK 1.5.0.
The JavaMail version is 1.4. If I use JavaMail version 1.3.1 it complains that there is no store type "imaps". If I use "imap" and not "imaps" as the store type I end up getting "Authentication Failed" exception.
Instead of a DummyTrustManager I even tried importing a certificate. We have deployed a Verisign trial certificate on the EXchange server side. So when we run the InstallCert program (http://blogs.sun.com/andreas/entry/no_more_unable_to_find) it allows us to add the valid certificates to our keystore. Once that is done we have tried to create TrustManager based on that keystore. But NOPE..No success. same problem.
We have been stuck on this one for the last 4 days and we have a very critical client deployment that is hampered by this one. I know it is turkey time now..but would really appreciate it if some one can help us out.

Copy a publishing page from one Web Application to another

If we download a copy from pages library of one web application and upload it to another library of other Web application.
Once uploaded it came up with an error "This page is not using a valid page layout. To correct the problem, edit page settings and select a valid page layout.".

Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman

1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.

You are getting the exception at very first point of Pipeline Service i.e Receiver Determination, do compare the namespace, Sender Interface Name & Sender Service name with the payload you are sending from web-application, they must be exactly same.
The best way to get the test payload is suggested in above reply.

Issue with member move, change or delete from Planning web application

Hi
We need to make some basic editing (move, change or delete) of level 0 members of the cost center dimension from Planning web application instead of from essbase database outline. But everytime, we tried from the web Admininstration/Dimension drill down and did a Cut or Delete of a base member, the screen either becomes blank or hangs. And we would have to stop and restart the Planning web application server to bring it back.
Is this a bug or is there something we missed? We are using Planning 4.0.1 and essbase 7.1.1. Any advice on workaround is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Have you tried running the planning server in the foreground from the start menu and check the output to see if there are any issues.
Also it might be worth trying to increase the java heap size, maybe you have a complex hierarchy and this is causing the heap size to max out.
Have you tried using another method to make changes to the hierarchy such as HAL ?
Cheers

How to update survey in Complaint from developed web application

Hello,
We've setup complaint management including the usage of surveys within a complaint document.
Complaint documents are accessed using the SAP GUI but will also be maintained using a newly developed application in the Enterprise Portal.
To access the survey using the external web application I need to know how to call the URL for the survey within a complaint transaction. I know how to setup the survey parameter xml but that allows me to call the survey irrespective of a transaction document. How do I call a URL that allows me to bring up a survey stored within a complaint document (is there for example a parameter I can pass to the URL indicating the GUID of the document the survey is in?
Thanks,
Patrick

I have used local ejbs in other application servers, WebSphere and JBoss, from discrete web applications running in the same VM as the ejbs. The requirement for local interfaces is that the ejb and client be running in the same VM. Maybe Weblogic is different in that respect, but I doubt it. Why marshal data through a Remote interface when both components are in the same VM?
I have gone through the Weblogic documentation and have not been able to find an answer to my question, which is why I posted the original question the way I did. Weblogic does not put the ejb in the jndi namespace, but the ejb can be acquired through jndi. In the Weblogic console deployments view I can see the bean deployed as CustomerBean, but there is no clue as to its jndi name. This forum is peppered with different schemes for accessing an ejb, but none of those has worked for me, hence the different names I tried.

Pass data from one web application to another web application

Hi,
Please provide suggestion for following scenario:
Scenario: Basically the aim is to transfer large amount of data from one application to another and display JSP of second application.
User enteres data on a JSP of one web application. When he submits that data, another web application opens in new window and data from first application should be passed to this second web application. Another web application will display that data on its own JSP. User can perform whatever he wants on second application screen.
Possible solutions:
1) response.sendRedirect(): This makes GET request. But, there is large data to send. So, GET is not effective.
2) forward(request, response): Can't use as I have to pass data to different application that is in another context.
3) URLConnection: Here, I can make POST request and set attributes in HTTP request and make connection to another application. I can pass data using output stream. But, I can't display second application JSP to user even if I use input stream to read response. Because control will be ultimately in first application only.
Is there any othe method to achieve this or any of the above options extendable?
Please give your inputs.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to migrate list data from one web application to another.
We can migrate list data programmatically, there are some articles for your reference.

Open a BEx Analyzer Workbook from a Web Application Template

Hello All,
I want to open a BEx Analyzer Workbook from a Web Application Template.
My vision is, that I have got a Button in my Web Application Template and when clicking on
it a Web Analyzer Workbook opens. The Analysis Item in the template and the Grid in the workbook are based on the same DataProvider. So you can open the report in web or in excel, but the people shouldn't open Excel separately when they use the web frontend.
I only found an export function, but this doesn't open a workbook. I couldn´t find a good solution here as well...
Best regards
