Link to static content (in portal context)

hello. i have a few links in the footer of a public website. when they are clicked, i want to load a static web page inside the portal context. so i would still have the header, top navigation, and footer, but the center content area would be an html page that is created in content server. what is the advised way of doing this? i am coming close using pt:openerLink, but i'm having some context issues.
as for the context issues, when i click on the href generated by pt:openerLink, it loads a page but says, "You do not have access to preview portlets". this is especially odd since i am logged in as an admin - and there is no security on any of this. has anyone seen this?
thanks

Hi,
You can upload an Image or an HTML file in the KM Repository and then create an iview pointing to that file. Assign that to a role and and make the entry point YES.
Assign that role to user.
Whenever that user logs in the image will be displayed.
Hope this helps!

Is it possible to restrict content of HTTP alias only to portal context?

Hello,
After creating an HTTP alias on the WAS (through Services -> HTTP Provider) all content becomes publically available.
Is there any way to prevent this and allow only applications that are running inside the portal context approach this content that alias points to?
Roy

Hello,
I'll explain what I am trying to achieve.
I've written phone book application. Each person has his/her personal card with his/her picture. In order to display the picture I need it to available in http. I've created an HTTP Alias (Like can be done on IIS). What I do is simply conctenate the HTTP alias the unique id number of each person which is also his picture's file name. The workers have an option to show or hide their pictures if they want to. The problem is that once creating an HTTP alias (or virtual directory on an IIS) this url becmes available to every person inside the LAN and the whole pivacy cocept is lost. If I could reveal this alias only to users who are entering the portal I could have control over the displying of the pictures but like this everyone can see every picture if he wants to. I beleive I can change the method of the picture retreival so it will take it from the file and not from http, but this methos is much more faster and simple.

Open KM Link(to KM Resource) in portal content area

Hello,
Open KM Link (not external link) created in KM to html/htm page located in KMcontent in Portal content area.
Is there any way can I open KM link created in same window (Portal content area) not in new window? By default it always opens in new window? From these links I created KM Navigation iView layoutset as LinkList explorer.
Thanks

Hi Mark,
As mentioned by VS..look into the iview property and then checkout the "Launch In" or "Display State" (sry cannot remember by hard) and set it according to what VS indicated above. This way, when you click on the iview from your Portal (not preview), it will display in the content area.
Additional info on iview properities.

Anonymous vs session-based static content

I am running the 7.0 Portal and I am running into a problem where all my static content is being served from within a session context, or not anonymously. This is causing MAJOR performance hits. Eventually, when this app hits production, all static content will be served off of an Apache box, but is there not a setting somehwere that will allow the BEA web server to serve this content anonymously?
Thanks,
Justin

How To: Create a link to gatewayed content (e.g. in email)

I apologize if this is too basic of a question but I can't find any results after looking for several hours.
I would like to generate a URL in an email that points to the portal and a specific portlet in the portal. The portlet has limited access rights so the URL should cause the portal to go through the login page and then redirect to the portlet. Can anyone point me to the documentation that describes this or give me an example?
Thanks in advance!
Mike

Using the PTARGS might also solve another difficulty I've encountered passing (dynamic) querystring parms to portlets through the gateway. Your example seems to work great for portlets, but now trying to access a Community page containing a portlet to retain branding elements.
For portal pages, should the ObjectID be the pageID (i.e PageID=0 for the default page) or is the ObjectID for a community page some other value (where in PlumDB is this stored) ? I changed the ClassIDView to 514 which should indicate a Community Page but it's still not loading my page. Adding to my confusion, the PTCOMMPAGES table stores the PageID as a negative value.
Here's my example:
http://portalserver/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_0_201_0_514/http%3B/portletserver/ApplicationName/default.aspx?querystring=value
Any thoughts?
re: How To: Create a link to gatewayed content (e.g. in email) Posted by Mike Beniston 5/5/05 9:45:40 AM It turned out that I was pretty close.
If anyone else is interested, here is one way that works.
The PTARGS are _0_userid(leave at 0)_objectid(of portlet)_communityID(if any)_0_ClassIDView(43 = view for portlet)
"http://portalserver/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_348_208_0_43/http://portletserver/ApplicationName/pagename?querystring arguments.

Apply Filter to static content

Hi,
I am writing a filter very similar to the one outlined in http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt0626.html#tip2.
I would like this filter to be applied to all static content on the web server.
I have found a problem that the filter only gets applied to content stored under the context root of the web module that it is defined in.
Does anyone know of a work-around to allow a filter to be applied to content outside of its web-module?
Alternatively does anyone know of a way to store the content which appears at the root of a web module in a location other than its web-module? This is currently unacceptable as the physical path changes every time the module is deployed and graphic designers will expect to be able to upload new content without packaging it in a web-module!
I have considered adding the filter to the /config/web.xml file however I am reliably informed that this will not be applied to any web-modules and will not be able to share session or context state with other servlets and filters in its own web-modeule.
I am using SunOne Application Server 7.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think filters are really the way to go about this, rather, create a servlet that handles requests something along these lines:
void service(HTTPServletRequest request, HTTPServletResponse response) {
// get document root, base directory for all the xml files
String docRoot = request.getServletConfig().getParameter("docroot");
// get the document name
String path = request.getPathInfo();
// do some checking on path to make sure it doesn't contain
// '..' or anything like that, throw an exception if it does.
// create a java.io.File object representing the file:
File file = new File(docRoot, path);
if (/*browser is IE6*/) {
    // open the file (using FileInputStream) and copy it to
    // request.getOutputStream()
else {
    // pass the file through an xslt transformation that outputs
    // to request.getOutputStream()
}If this servlet is bound to a context called "context1", and the servlet is bound to "xml", requests for eg. /context1/xml/dira/dirb/doc1.xml will result in request.getPathInfo() returning "/dira/dirb/doc1.xml", given that the servlet-mapping element in web.xml is specified correctly (use a wild card: /xml/*).
And be warned, I just typed this in without trying to compile it, so it probably contains bugs!

How to display related links iview in content area?

Hi,
I have created Related links, but they are opening in a separate windows even though I have set the attribute of the iviews to "open in portal content area".
Please let me know how I can display the iviews of the Related links in the content area.
-Ashwini.

Hello Ashwini,
I don't think you have changed the property at the right place.
Open the iview for which related link is added. Now from the drop down box at the top right select Related Link. The related link editor will open which will show the related link iview. Select the iview and click the EDIT button at the bottom. The related link iview will open. Now Change the "Launch in new WIndow" property.
When you add an iview as reletd link to some other iview, a delta link is created and added to the iview.
This will solve ur problem.

Wls 9.1 doesn't pick up changes to static content in production mode

Hi Everybody,
          I'm running wls 9.1 on XP in production mode as a stand-alone server. My web app is deployed in exploded format in an external directory.
          I'm trying to force the server to pick up the changes to static content like JSPs automatically and it's not working.
          1. I've set pageCheckSeconds = 1 in weblogic.xml and even though server picks this setting up it does nothing about it.
          2. I tried weblogic.Deployer utitlity to redeploy just one jsp file and it's not working because it's unable to get the full path to a source file. Can this happen due to application Context Path not being set properly?
          Does anybody come across issues like this?
          Thanks.
          Paul.

Static content in iAS 6.5 (for JavaWebstart)

Hello,
I'm using iAS 6.5.
I want to serve a jar file for JavaWebstart in a J2EE App (including a war file)
That works, but it tooks a very long time before Webstart is loading this Jar and it is fully reloaded every time i access that App from Webstart.
When I put this jar file into the iPlanet Webserver it is loaded much faster and will not be reloaded every time i access this jar file with Webstart.
1. Is it possible to serve static content in iAS that Webstart is not fully reloading every time, instead of only checking the header informations for a newer version?
2. Can you give me a link to an iPlanet documentation about how to handle static content iAS/iWS !
3. Will be the iPlanet Webserver Settings (e.g. KeepAlive) ignored, when i run Webcontent from the Applicationserver (../NASApp/...)?
Kinds
Regards

JAX-RPC, JAX-M and other JAX-x are tested with JDK 1.3.x and higher. Since iAS 6.5 uses jdk 1.3.1, I think JAX-RPC, JAX-M can be used in iAS 6.5. -Officially, as far as I know, iAS 6.5 does not provide any support for JAX-pack.
Sun ONE AS 7 fully supports JAX-pack, and it has a tool, XRPCC, (now wscompile and wsdeploy) which generates stubs, ties and WSDLs for the services. Also the same tool can be used to generate the stubs, client side artifacts, from any WSDL file.
And also JAX-run time provides SOAP 1.1, UDDI v2 Registry access and WSDL support. Interoparability between JAX-Run time and other SOAP 1.1 implementations is also tested successfully.
There are several third partly tools available from different vendors (around 10-12), you may wish to search for them in google. And with that you may generate WSDL for your Apache SOAP services.
If you are planning to have a standalone web services client, then you can directly use JWSDP at the client side to communicate with the Apache SOAP services on the iPlanet Application Server 6.5.
Please get back for any further assistance.

Forcing attachments to download from content outside portal framework

We are having an issue with binary content which resides outside portal framework in a separate system being downloaded by users. Whenever a page flow action is submitted and the binary data(xls, pdf, doc files etc) is returned by the system(documentum in this case) and we try to get the download option it shows data as garbage on the jsp but does not prompt to download the file. Here is the code for 2 options tried
Option 1 - Trying to write binary content from Page Flow
Code in Page Flow
byte[] binaryData = document.getBinaryDocument(); //'document' is the data object here
HttpServletResponse response = getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/ms-excel");
response.setContentLength(binaryData.length);
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + document.getFileName() + ".xls\""); //document does not return file extension
response.getOutputStream().write(binaryData);Option 2 - Trying to write binary content from Servlet Context outside portal framework
Code in Page Flow
getRequest().setAttribute("binarydoc", document); Code in JSP
com.jeni.DocumentumData doc = (com.jeni.DocumentumData)request.getAttribute("binarydoc");
byte[] binaryData = doc.getBinaryDocument();
response.setContentType("application/ms-excel");
response.setContentLength(binaryData.length);
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + doc.getFileName() + ".xls\""); //document does not return file extension
response.getOutputStream().write(binaryData);
response.getOutputStream().flush();Both options produce garbage on the jsp page.
Please respond soon
Thanks

Yes. It did not work here's the changed code in the JSP page in Option 2 that produced the same result.
com.jeni.DocumentumData doc = (com.jeni.DocumentumData)request.getAttribute("binarydoc");
byte[] binaryData = doc.getBinaryDocument();
response.reset();
response.setContentType("application/ms-excel");
response.setContentLength(binaryData.length);
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + doc.getFileName() + ".xls\""); //document does not return file extension
response.getOutputStream().write(binaryData);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
response.flushBuffer();

Serve up Static Content - configuration?

Hello!
How can I configure WEB AS to serve up static files from an external folder? Is there a configuration in WEB AS to map a context to an external folder with static files?
Thanks
/Ray

Hi Ray,
Eddy's reply refers to setting the option on the ICM. In case you don't use the ICM, but just the Web AS Java, you can do that using the HTTP Provide Service. You can either create a virtual host (this is the term on Web AS Java for virtual directory ) and set your external directory with static content as its root directory. You can refer to the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0b/fbf5a47928f84e8d0beba8371508e6/frameset.htm">documentation</a> for details about the configuration procedure.

Portal Context Index Creation Performance issue

Recreating Portal Context Indexes takes around 36 hours at our site (after portal upgrade from 3.0.9.8.2 to 3.0.9.8.5 as per release notes). I was following the Note:158368.1 to rebuild the indexes. Is there anything that i can do to tune this ?
thanks
subu

Unfortunately indexing is generally a fairly intensive operation and can be time consuming.
There are some things that you can do to optimize the performance of your database as a whole which may in turn help the performance of your indexing operation. Look at the Performance Guide and Reference book in the database documentation.
Much of the time spent indexing is taken up by filtering binary documents and fetch content identified by URL attributes. In the case of the later, it might be worth checking in the ctx_user_index_errors view to ensure that you don't have a lot of URL requests that are timing out. The timeout is set to 30 seconds and if there are a lot or URLs where the host cannot be resolved or the fetch times out it might be costing a lot of time during the indexing operation. This is often the case if a proxy is required to reach the URLs but the proxy has not be configured correctly.

Not able to create Remote Delta Link from Producer content to Consumer.

Hi everybody,
I am trying to create a Remote Delta Link from producer content (EP Version 7.0 SP15) to consumer (EP Version 7.0 SP15).
I have achieved the following FPN settings/configuration:
SSO Connection in both direction
Connection test is done successfully
Producer registration done successfully
The user is existing in both portals (Producer and Consumer)
But unfortunately I am receiving the following RDL copy and paste error message:
*Could not create remote delta link
Could not connect to producer portal. Please check that the producer portal is running, there are no network problems, and your consumer settings for the producer are configured properly.*
The producer is running.
There are no network problem
and the setting are correct.

Nagaraju

Hi Nagaraju,
did you solve this problem? I get the same error message and no hints in the log/trace files in both portals.
Kind regards

Need to display dynamic content on portal page

I have an htmldb application that a client can upload doctor profiles for the web users to lookup and find a doctor within a certain radius. When they click on the doctor's name, it shows a profile of the doctor. I need to be able to display this information directly on the oracle portal instead of iframing it because i need it to be searchable. I created an xml report in htmldb and linked it to the oracle portal with an omniportlet. The test page can be seen at [http://portal2.bynum.com/portal/page/portal/test/xml%20data%20test]
I need the link on the go to a page in portal and display the information from the database like it does on htmldb. Is it possible to:
1. Add a drop down box in the omniportlet that allows me to chose all doctors whose last name begins with the letter in the dropdown box.
2. Point the link to oracle portal, pass the object_id to the page, and display the doctor profile all in the portal instead of iframing from htmldb.

Ok, i found the solution. I created a page with the parameters that i want passed in order to display the datbase content. the parameters where created in the page properties section for the page. I created id, first_name, and last_name parameters. Then i created a dynamic pl/sql web page with the dynamic html portlet included with oracle and tied those parameters to the queries. Dynamic content is now displayed when the omniportlet links to the page.

Is it possible to create a link on the content of a text annotation??

Is it possible to create a link on the content of a annotation??? Like the content of an annotation is some notes as well as a link...
content -
this is my first annotation(notes)
http://www.google.co.in/(link)
is it possible to create a link for the url given in the content of an annotation??? On click on the url...it should get opened...
please reply its really urgent....

How/where do you want to accomplish it?
Within the document? Using Acrobat? Using another application?
Using Acrobat within the document would be possible using Acrobat JavaScript. You can access the annotation objects of your document, and you then can evaluate the properties of each of these objects. Have a closer look at the Annotation Object section in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
You will look for the contents property, and evaluate its content. When you have found something looking like a URL, you can create a link (using the rect property of the annotation), and you have what you want; you might then think to destroy the annotation, as it may overlay the link.
Hope this can help.
Max Wyss.
