Lotus Notes connectivity in WebDynpro for Java

Hi,
in case we want to implement some content stored in an Lotus Notes database. For example a simple corporate phonelist. What are our options to get these data represented in our portal if we dont want to use the standard "Notes DB web-enabled" output.
Is it possible to develope for example a webDynpo for Java application which connects via JCo(??) to Notes, greps the data there and interacts with it so that we can use the standard portal UI-Elements?
Do you know where to find some specified information for that issue?
Thanks and best regards
Markus Armbruster

Hello Markus,
I already tested several options for connecting Web Dynpro to Lotus Notes/Domino. You may use Java technology (IIOP) or web technology (simple HTTP/XML or HTTP/SOAP).
in order to use IIOP, simple include NSCO.jar in the lib path of your SAP J2EE engine instances. Then you are able to use the classes stubs for NotesFactory(), NotesSession() etc. within WD.
if you use HTTP then connect using web services. The data is then transferred e.g. via XML or DXL.
I have some samples running in case you need more information I can send you the source.

How to access(connect) BI Data in webdynpro for java applications

Hi ,
is there any way to access and display the BI data in portal using webdynpro for java applications like we did in Visual composer.
if not how to integrate the BI data in webdynpro applications ?
Regards,
Govindu

Hi,
Yes there are ways to do it. But may your scenario and the scenario for which I have done may differ.
You can use openhub to get the data in a flat file and then read it into weddynpro through a java service OR
You can use DBlink(which i have done).
Please refer the link below:
[Link|Data from BW to Oracle.;
This I have done in NW04s. Not sure whether a better solution is available in the newer release.
Hope it helps.

Problem in connecting to database from webdynpro for java

Hi
I have a problem in connecting to database from webdynpro application
I am using oracle 10 express edition as database and was able to connect to database from a java application.But was unable to connect from a webdynpro for java.
<b>I guess webdynpro for java uses open sql instead of vendor sql(I looked in the visual admin ,DB is using open sql) so unable to connect to database.Am i right.?</b>
Do i need to make any settings in the visual admin to make it work?
How to solve this problem.Please give me pointers
Thanks
Bala

Hi,
For connecting to Oracle, either you can use the normal JDBC connectivty code directly which is given below :
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Oracle_server_ip:Oracle port:SID of the Database","user_name","password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("your query");
In case you want to fetch data through ejbs, these are the steps to be followed :
1) Open the J2EE perspective
2) Create an EJB Module project
3) Right click on ejbModule, create a new EJB (select your EJB type)
4) While creating the ejb itself, you can add business methods by clicking Next in the UI. Another option is after creating the ejb, write the method in the bean, then select the method from ejb-jar.xml -> <bean name> ->method. Right click and select propogate to local & remote.
5) Double click on ejb-j2ee-engine.xml. select your bean and specify a Jndi name for eg: MyJndi.
6) Right click on the EJB project and add classes12.zip file (provided by Oracle) to its build path. (under libraries tab). Also check the same file under Order & Export.
7) Create an Enterprise Application project.
8) Right click on the EJB module project and select add to EAR project, then select the created EAR project.
9) Right click on the EJB project, select Build EJB Archive
10) Right click on the EAR project, select Build Application Archive
11) Open the WebDynpro perspective, open a new project, right click on the project ->properties. Do the following configurations :-
Java Build path - select the EJB project from projects , check the selected project under Order & Export
Project references select the EAR project
WebDynpro references select sharing references tab, click add & make an entry as : <vendor>/<EAR project name without .ear extension>
You can find the vendor name under application-j2ee-engine.xml file of the EAR project. By default it is sap.com. So if my EAR projects name is ABC, my entry would look like sap.com/ABC
12) Now the configurations are over and the EJB can be invoked by writing the client code inside the webdynpro component. Like:
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
Object obj = context.lookup("MyJndi");
MyEJBHome home = MyEJBHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,MyEJBHome.class);
MyEJB mybean = home.create();
int a = 0;
a= mybean.add(10,15);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setSum(a);
where MyEJB is my EJB name and MyJndi is my JNDI name
To connect to Oracle , you can write the usual Java code (given below) as a business methos of the ejb (similar to add() method in the example). And access it like mybean.<businessMethodName>().
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@Oracle_server_ip:Oracle port:SID of the Database","user_name","password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("your query");

What is Enterprise SOA and Enterprise SOA?
SOA is an increasingly popular concept. But it never really took off, because there has been no standard middleware or application programming interfaces that would allow it to take root. There were attempts to build them, then Web services came along and gave it a boost. The Web services underlying architecture dovetails perfectly with the concept of Enterprise SOA so much so, in fact, that some analysts and software makers believe that the future of Web services rests with Enterprise SOA. SAP came up with the startergic decision on coverting the Webservice methodolgy to Enterprise Services Methodology "Which would have business semantics attached as capability".
So how does EnterpriseEnterprise SOA differ from Web services?
Most Web services implementations are point-to-point, where you have an intimate knowledge of the platform to which you're connecting. The implementation is fairly solid and the interface doesn't really change,. That means that the Web service is not made available publicly on the network, and cannot be "discovered" in a sense, it's hard-coded in the point-to-point connection. In an Enterprise SOA implementation, information about the Enterprise services and how to connect to it is published in a UDDI-built directory, and so that Enterprise service can be easily discovered and used in other applications and implementations.
Why use Enterprise SOA?
A number of factors are driving the move toward Enterprise SOA. Cost savings is one. If you can reuse services you've already built, then you don't have to spend as much time and money developing new applications. Another factor is the increasing success of Web services. As companies build more Web services, unless they have an overarching architecture. For example, what happens when one of those Web services has been incorporated into other applications, but then the Web service is changed without telling developers of those applications? An overall architecture needs to be built to make sure that doesn't happen. Perhaps most importantlyis that an Enterprise SOA "increases a business's flexibility and lets it more quickly adapt to changing business needs." Most Web services are being used primarily "to solve point-to-point integration problems." But these solutions "can't solve the larger integration problems in converting hundreds of systems" to an overall, single enterprise architecture. For that, SAP Enterprise SOA is needed.
But while the basic Web services architecture fits neatly into the Enterprise concept, there are still roadblocks to setting them up. Notable among them, Is security, identity management issues, and management problems having software that will be able to track and manage hundreds or dozens of Web services and their development and deployment. SAP Software is just becoming available to do that. On the security side, the issues still haven't been solved.
Reward points if useful.

EP,ESS/MSS and webdynpro for java interview questions.

I am an ep and ESS?MSS consultant and work on webdynpro for java.I have also worked on PDK like customization of masthead and logon page.I would like to know how to prepare for an interview? I mean what should I read ? and what topics should I cover?

HI Anzar
Instead of posting this here, you could have googled it. There are no. of sites for the same thing.
Since you wrote, so just curious... EP & ESS/MSS Consultant... what does that mean?
If I am not taking it wrong, by that sentence you are trying to tell that you have worked on ESS / MSS modeule. Right?
See, if you are an EP Consultant, you must know all the below atleast -
1. PORTAL SIDE
a. Different types of iView configuration
b. User Management
c. Internal / External Portal Configuration
d. Content development
e. UWL
f. Portal bottlenecks (I mean portal related issues, like slow responding etc.)
g. Display & Desktop Configuration
h. System Landscape Directory
i. NWDI
2. WEB DYNPRO SIDE
a. Calling iviews from wd applications
b. RFC/ BAPI calls
c. JCO Connections
d. SC/DC Concept
e. Import/Export Parameters
f. Scenario Based Answering (like... if your imported BAPI import parameters are changed by BASIS, what will you do to make it work for you.... etc)
g. Singleton/Non-Singleton nodes
h. Controllers
i. Interfaces
j. Multi-lingual Applications
k. EJBs
l. PDK applications
This is the basic list, it can contain many more items... This is the list which I faced for my interview. As an EP consultant, you must be good in both Portal as well as WD end.
1 more thing, every interview is different from other, so no point in just mugging them out. Go through with there concepts. That way, you can answer twisted & scenario based questions.
Hope this will help.

Hi
If you want to try out using ADOBE Flash Islands with WDJ, you would need to download SAP CE 7.1 EhP1 trial version, if not done so already.
The following link may help you in building the WDJ component with Flash Islands..

Adobe Interactive forms & WebDynpro for java problem with IE7 and IE8

I have Interactive form ui-element in WebDynpro for java (ver. 7 SP 10) application. It works fine with IE6, but in IE7 (or IE8) it doesn't show that ui-element at all. We have tried to change IE7 security & advanced settings, but we have not made any progress. We have also tried to install/uninstall different Adobe reader versions etc.

I know a little more about the problem now. After viewing the XML source I change the property of the inputfield.
It was like this:
<field name="verdipers_felt" y="130.7001mm" x="180.1801mm" w="101.6004mm" h="44.4501mm" locale="no_NO" access="ReadOnly">
but i changed the access to be nonInteractive
<field name="verdipers_felt" y="130.7001mm" x="180.1801mm" w="101.6004mm" h="44.4501mm" locale="no_NO" access="nonInteractive">
now view2 shows the linebreak as in view1... Buut! when im going back to view1 from view2, the linebreaks gets converted into spaces
thats pretty wierd, aint it?

How to learn webdynpro for java/ABAP

hI Experts,
i am new to webdynpro technology.
and i am having the knowlgedge on Portal contenet development&administration,and having the strong knowledge on Visual composer7.0,7.1 and also trined in ABAP(currently i am not useing it).
now i wants to learn webdynpro for java/abap.
is it right choice i am taking ? i.e moving to Webdynrpo for java/abap.
what are the minimun skills i need to be a good webdynpro developer for java/ABAP. ?
is it requires straong java knowledge since i am not familiar with that too much ?
please give your valuable inputs
Thanks&Regards,
Govindu

SAP uses Webdynpro to build portal content, which later will be configuted as an Iview in the enterprise portal. Webdynpro comes with Java and ABAP flavors. Both have in general the same functionality,the decision for one of the two flavors shall be based on organizational and business circumstances, but not on functionality.
If you are good in ABAP go with ABAP Webdynpro, if you are good in JAVA, go with JAVA Webdynpro. But you will get good opportunities in JAVA Webdynpro compare to ABAP Webdynpro.
Thanks,
Chenna.

Retrieve already deployed webdynpro for java source code from portal server

HI ,
We have webdynpro for java apllication already deployed on the J2EE server. We found the ear file related to this application. But I am not able to make any changes to the ear file in NWDS as it cannot be directly imported into NWDS. We do not have NWDI for software logistics and the resource who built the WDJ application has left the company. Is there any way that I can retrieve the complete source code of the application from the portal. I need to make some changes to Webdynpro component and its view. I have worked with basis team to retrieve the ear file from portal server. But I could not make any progress just with the ear file. Thank you for your help in advance
Regards,
KMM.

You are probably breaking some license agreement by de-compiling the content of the 'war' files. Why not ask the people who provided the 'war' file if you could have the source and build system.

Hi, Michael,
First and formost, Welcome to the amazing world of WD Java. Since you have some experience with C#, coding will not be a mammoth task for you. As per, basic concepts of WD Java are concerned, you can refer the following Link:[Concepts Of WD Java|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/DE/14/c897427f18d06ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
To try your hands on WD Java, there are few sample applications that you can refer:
