Maintain user session in web dynpro application

Hello Experts,
I have a web dynpro application. Whenever user presses F5 or refreshes the application, user is made available with login page. Instead, I want to maintain the session for that particular logged on user, so, whenever he refreshes he lands on the same page if his session is active.
As far as I read some discussions on scn, I got to know that there is no such thing in WD ABAP. Still, is there any way to accomplish this type of requirement?
PDN.
Regards,
Harsh

Hi Harsh,
My assumption of your requiremnt:
The application is suppose to bypass SAP authentication and should prompt the user with a custom view .
So when the user logs in using the custom view (input details), then user shouldnt be prompted with login screen again if he presses f5 .
A very different requirement .. but may be you can try using a static flag which will be raised when you login using the custom view.
This flag value can be used to determine if the user has logged in earlier during the session.
Thanks & Regards,
Tashi

Access users in a Web Dynpro application on different WAS ??????

Hi,
Scenario - I have a local WAS on which i have deployed a Web Dynpro Based application.
There is another WAS on which I have portal installed. I need to access the roles assigned to a particular user in my Web Dynpro application.
Query -
I need to know can i access the roles assigned to a user on a different WAS in a Web Dynpro based application running on a different WAS.
Thanks and Regards,
Amol Ghodekar.

Amol,
as this questions existed twice, I've deleted one.
As roles are in the UME, you can access them. But why do you want to do this? You could login to that user, but then the question is what you want to do....

How to get User Id in Web dynpro application

Hi Experts,
I am running web dynpro application with authentication checkbox set. I want to display user id of the user in my application. I am using following code in Init method of component controller.
IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
WdContext.currentContextElement().setUserName           (wdUser.getClientUserID());
Here I am getting some integer value as userId.
I am not using Portals, so solutions suggested for portal are not useful for me .
Is there any way to get this uset id.
Thanks in advance

hi
try this piece of code
          IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
          IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
          if (user != null)
                    IUserAccount[] acct = user.getUserAccounts();
                    if(acct[0] != null)
                              String strUserid = acct[0].getLogonUid();
wdContext.currentZtms_Fm_Regupdate_InputElement().setAssoid(new String(strUserid));
Note: Defining the IUser will show an error. To resolve this, within the properties of
the project, choose Java build path -> Libraries -> Add external jars ->
com.sap.securities -> lib -> com.sap.security.api. Open this file and retype the code.

Storing user defaults of Web Dynpro application on portal

Hi folks,
I am trying to develop Web Dynpro application that runs in an iView on a portal. I would like to remember certain user defaults for this application (e.g., user default plant). User also has control over this value, so whenever they change it, the value should be update on a backend as well.
My first thought was to use PCD, but I am not sure how to do that - all the code examples for I found for PCD looked like they were created for portal application, not Web Dynpro ones.
Anybody here actually done anything similar?
Edited by: Alexei Isaev on Jan 29, 2008 8:20 PM

Hi Alexei,
If you need to store default values for a portal application, you may consider your development in Web Dynpro for ABAP. I have not come across application level personalisation yet in Web Dynpro for Java, unless someone else can throw some light here.

How to get Portal User Context in Web Dynpro application

I have successfully integrate a web dynpro app into SAP Netweaver Portal.
Within my web dynpro app, how can I get portal user context information such as first name, last name, job title or some newly created ume attibutes.
Is there any programmatical approach to get portal user context in my web dynpro. I not sure whether I can use the following codes in web dynpro?
IUserContext userContext = request.getUser();
String firstName = userContext.getFirstName();
String lastName = userContext.getLastName();
If yes, can someone point me the name of the jar file I have to import.
Note : The SAP Netweaver installation that runs my web dynpro app is same with the SAP Portal.

Hi ,
you can use the below code to get User details and add com.sap.security_2.0.0 > lib > com.sap.security.api.jar
try
IWDClientUser clientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
String firstName = clientUser.getFirstName();
String lastname = clientUser.getLastName();
catch (WDUMException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error Retrieving User"+e.toString(),true);

How To Consume UME services in Web Dynpro applications

Dear Friends,
I am developing a new web dynpro application in which i want to get the user related information in my dynpro code. I have used com.sap.secuirty.jar file in class path -> lib of my project.
I have written code sth like this.
IUser user = null;
String username = user.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();
and defined sap.authentication as a application variable to fetch user creadentials from portal run time.(user logs in to the portal and dynpro application fetches user credentials from portal). When i do this, the login window appears twice and user needs to enter his credentials more than once. If I remove sap.authentication parameter from the application then i am not able to get the user credentials. Could you please tell me the right method of fetching the user credentials in web dynpro application? Do we need to use sap.authentication? do we need to include sharing reference of the usermanagement in our application?
kindly share your knowledge.

These might be good places for you to start.

Calling a Web Dynpro application from a web application

Hi everyone, I've got a problem I hope someone can help me resolve.
What I wanna do is to show a login form, which is part of a J2EE web application (contained in a SAP Web AS), an after the user submits the required information, I have to redirect the user to a Web Dynpro application, which is contained in the same Web AS, but I have to redirect this user using single sign on.
I'm not sure about what I have to do, I'm new in these technologies, I think I need to use UMFactory, but I have made some investigation and I'm not so sure about what I have to do yet, can anyone give me a hand with this?

User Authentication in Web Dynpro Java

Hi guys,
I was just wondering how user authentication can be achieved in WDJ? In Web Dynpro ABAP this comes for free when you launch an application. However, in WDJ we can deploy and call the URL without any authentication at all. Is there a way to configure this or do we really have to code this? Thanks! Generous points will be awarded!

Restrict simultaneous login to a web dynpro application by the same user

I have a stand alone web dynpro application and used the sap.authentication for user to login into the application. How can i restrict a user from accessing the application from two different browsers using the same userid?

Hi,
   You can try the following approach:
1. Create an outbound plug to some dummy view which shows the message to the user that he/she is already logged in. Let's call this plug "ToMessageView".
2. In the "wdDoInit" method of the component controller write the following code:
String loggedInUserID = WDClientUser.getLoggedInClientUser().getClientUserID();
String[] apps = WDServerState.getActualApplications(loggedInUserID);
//All entries of apps will look like <application-name>/<application-id>
boolean isRunningParallely = false;
for (String app : apps) {
     if(app.split("/")[0].equals(wdComponentAPI.getApplication().getName())){
          isRunningParallely = true;
          break;
if(isRunningParallely)
//fire the plug to message view here
FYI, I haven't tested this but do try it out.

Accessing anonymous user in web dynpro application

Hi All,
I have created one web dynpro application for internet site (Anonymous user). While trying to retrieve the Iuser through web dynpro application, it is coming <b>null</b> coz user is Anonymous if i am not wrong.
So I am not able to read the property file from the KM and based on the value coming from the property file i am setting in the drop down.

hi,
i did the same thing den code is working and values are coming from the property file but i m going to place this application in the Internet.
There i can't ask user to enter User-Id and PWD.
I tried to use IWDClient's object and through this i m accessing getSAPUser().
here is the code that i m using:-
<b>wdClientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
manager.reportSuccess("wdclientuser-"+wdClientUser);-value is coming for that
sapUser = wdClientUser.getSAPUser();
manager.reportSuccess("sapUser -"+sapUser );Null is coming for that
//create an ep5 user from the retrieved user
ep5User = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);
resourseContext = new ResourceContext(ep5User);
resourseFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
pathRID =RID.getRID(/documents/IDBDevelopments/Propertyfiles/JobOpportunity/DateofBirth.properties");
resource = (IResource) resourseFactory.getResource(pathRID,resourseContext);</b>
In that point i m getting Null as value.coz it's description says that if user is Anopnymous this function will return Null.
Coz of that i m not able to create Resource context for reading the property file.

Web Dynpro application session expired

Hi SDN,
We have installed a new NW04s system and patched it with SP13
I can access SAP J2EE Engine start page without any problem. But when I click on Web Dynpro Content Administrator and click any of the buttons Create Jco Destination or Check SLD. I am getting an error message:
The Web Dynpro Application 'Explorer' has expired. Restart the application using the Refresh button or via the following link Explorer.
I get same error message when I go to ''Netweaver Adminstration'' and click on any of the links Administration, Configuration or Monitoring .
Any suggestion how to solve this issue...
Thanks and Regards
rajendra

The expiry happens if there is significant time difference between where a logon ticket was created and where you are accessing. Equally time synchronisation should be on across the entire network.
Equally you may be using a ticket from another system due to the same domain.
In this case it looks like your SLD is on another server?... i sthe same time synchronisation product used between the two?

How to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.

Hi,
I have created a web dynpro application, which is running inside portal. I have created a role called "R1". Inside role R1, i have created 3 workset W1, W2 and W3. and inside each workset i have some pages and iviews.
My requirement is when user logins to the portal , and when he clicks on role R1 for the first time, a login page should come (so that we can do revalidation), and when he enters his password again in that login page , then only workset W1, W2 and W3 should be visible/accessible to him and after successful revalidation, if he clicks again on role R1, in that particular portal session, than that login page should not come.
for this, i thought i will set a variable in portal session, whenever user successfully revalidated himself, and if after successful revalidation he clicks again on role R1, i will check in doinit method of webdynpro whether variable is set or not (which i already set on successful revalidation), and if it is set then i will do Donavigation else i will present login page to the user.
Can anyone tells me how to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.
thanks

The Web Dynpro Application 'XssMenu' has expired

Hi,
we implement an ESS Scenario, with One Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP17, a mySAP ECC 5.0 System with ERP2004 and a seperate server with a java stack, because our customer don´t want to install and use a java stack on their HR/ERP systems. They want to minimize the performance.
After some configurations, we get the startpage for ESS. If I click on a service like travel management it has no effect. If I click the second time, I got an error "500 Internal Server Error" with the message
The Web Dynpro Application 'XssMenu' has expired. Please restart the application either with the refresh button or click the following link XssMenu.
Same error comes, if I choose travel management in the second navigation level and click the service. And same message on every service.
Now I tried anotehr way. I call the ess startpage directly on the external java stack. And here´s no problem. All WebDynpro-Services works fine.
Can anyone help me, why the WebDynpro Service doesn´t work in the Portal?
Best regards
Christian

We had exactly the same problem. We had multiple java servers and our switch was not retaining stickiness. So it would send the user to a different java server which hadn't got any session data for that user.
If this could be it, get something like httplook to do a trace of what is happening. We saw it switching java servers.
If you do not have multiple servers it could be switches chopping out cookies, causing the same issue.

The Web Dynpro application 'PageBuilder' has expired

Hi Alll,
We are implementing ESS/MSS and the Portal was working fine.
We set it up for SSL/https and it was working just fine. However when we call it from reverse proxy server the web dynro applications through the following error:
The Web Dynpro application 'PageBuilder' has expired. Restart the application. Choose 'Refresh' in the iView tray or use the browser 'Refresh' button to restart the iView
Details: No details available
When I tested this with a transaction iview they work just. Also when tested directly from Portal they work fine.
Can anyone assist on this please?
Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike,
After a user is logged in and requested an ESS/MSS application. The pagebuilder service is requested to built the page.
When the user is still logged in but is not working with this application the pagebuilder receives a timeout after a while and the session is expired. The pagebuilder has sometimes the status stopped, you can see this in the Netweaver Administrator. (Search for the pb in the application area)
If an other user is requesting an application the pb service is started again and the page built again.
If you want to get rid of the warning you could set the "timeout" parameter to a higher value in the configtool.
Kind regards,
Marcel
