No support (wizard) for JSF & struts portlets

I can create portlets (JSR 286 & Oracle PDK-Java) in JDevelopers. However I feel the wizard is not mature. I can only create one kind of portlet (JSR 286) using JDeveloper if we consider only standards based portlet - this portlet is called Java portlet in WebLogic. Can't create JSP, URL etc protlets, even no support (wizard) for JSF & struts portlets...
Is there anyway to enable these features?
Thanks.

CSS for WSRP Struts Portlets

I have a Struts 1.3 Portlet running in WLP 10.3.2. The css inside JSP displays right in a web-app. But when I expose over WSRP, the css is not getting applied.
Here is the simple jsp I have:
test.jsp
<style type="text/css">
.test{
border: 2px solid red;
background-color : blue;
</style>
<span class="test">CSS Testing</span>
Qn. 2)
Do I need to have html,head and body tags for Portlets that I want to expose over WSRP?
Qn3) Do I need to go for render dependencies here..

Just in case you haven't seen this, I will add in this doc link as well on how to configure render dependencies in the portlet.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14244/configure.htm#i1073504
I haven't done this with a struts portlet, but in my example, the .portlet file on the producer would have a
"lafDependciesUri=/test.dependencies" with the css code you posted in it.
So the "test.portlet" file on the producer would have something like this:
<netuix:portlet definitonLabel="myportlet" title="simple test" lafDependenciesUri="/yourpath/test.dependencies">
</netuix:portlet>
then on the consumer side, the proxy portlet ".portlet" file would have something like:
<netuix:proxyPortlet>
invokeRenderDependencies="true"
</netuix:proxyPortlet>
this should allow the proxy portlet to obtain render dependencies from the producer during prerender lifecycle.

How to set the contentType for JSF Content Portlet.

Hi,
When I tried to get the data from data base and construct a downloadable .csv appending the html at the end of the actual csv content. Please find the below given code for reference.
JSP Code :
<f:view>
<h:form id = "test">
          <h:commandButton immediate="true" value = "Download CSV" actionListener="#{myManagedBean.downloadCSV}">
          </h:commandButton>
</h:form>
</f:view>
Managed Bean method (Listener Method):
     public void downloadCSV(ActionEvent event) {
          FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
          OutputStream os = null;
          try {
               HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) FacesContext
                         .getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=report.csv");
               response.setContentType("application/download");
               os = response.getOutputStream();
               StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
               //following code has to be replaced by records retrieved from database.
               for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
                    for (int j = 0; j < 100; j++) {
                         if (j == 0) {
                              buffer.append("Test " + j);
                         } else {
                              buffer.append(",").append("Test " + j);
                    buffer.append("\n");
               System.out.println("Get Content Type :==>"+response.getContentType()); // always returning text/html;
               os.write(buffer.toString().getBytes());
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } finally {
               if(os != null){
                    try {
                         os.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                         e.printStackTrace();
The above given code is appending the html content at the end of the actual content. I noticed one thing, even though I am setting the content type to application/download (or) text/csv when i am printing the content type it is always returning "text/html".
Thanks.

Hello,
The portal will not allow you to change the content-type of a single portlet's response. Since each portlet is rendered onto a single HTML page along with other portlets, the content-type of the whole page (and therefore of each portlet) must be HTML-- you can't have a different content-type for just a portion of the page.
This means that you cannot render non-HTML content for a portlet within the portal framework. However, you can render non-HTML content as a separate "resource" outside of the portal context- for example, if you create a resource URL in your portlet that points at a servlet, the servlet can serve up any content-type you wish.
The JSR329 JSF portlet bridge (and the JSR286 portlet specification it is based on) even have a special "portlet-served resource" mechanism that allows you to serve non-HTML content while still having access to all of the portal context (all of your portlet state). From the code you posted, it looks like you are not using the JSR329 portlet bridge, but you might want to take a look at it.

Struts Support: "Cannot parse the struts configuration file" when using the Struts Portlet Wizard

I'm currently trying to deploy the struts-example webapp from Struts 1.1 RC1 into
Weblogic Portal 8.1 using the Struts Portlet wizard made available by the "JSR
168 and Struts Support" patch.
I select the struts module successfully "struts-example" and am prompted for the
location of name mangled configuration file (i.e "struts-config.xml" for struts-example
becomes "jpf-struts-config-struts-example.xml").
As soon as I hit next, I am prompted with a dialog informing that me that [Workbench]
"Cannot parse the struts configuration file."
Given that this is a file supplied with the struts distro and that I can deploy
the struts-example to Vanilla WLS 8.1 without problems I suspect this is a problem
with my attempt to use the Struts Portlet.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

How to build struts portlet for DispatchAction?

hi,
I'm building struts portlet which wrap up a struts module, and it works fine for ordinary struts Action class, but for struts DispatchAction class, it doesn't work, the corresponding method never called.
could any one here help me out?
thanks

I am trying to implement your solution.
I have a portlet for navigation on the left side and the inline rendering on the right. My left side url's keep rendering outside of portal. Also can't figure out how to make the inline rendering portlet grab the url from the navigation portlet. (In your post you mentioned that your portlet would display whatever URL was passed to it.)
Can you provide more detail on the steps you took to make this happen?
Thanks

Is WSRP supported in Adobe CQ for accessing Remote Portlet?

Hello, I wanted to know if WSRP is supported in Adobe CQ for accesssing remote portlet? or alternate ways to access remote portlets on Adobe CQ pages. Pointers in this direction would be helpful.
Thanks

AFAIK we don't have WSRP producer OR consumer. Using [1] might help to meet your need.

Struts Portlet With Input Parameters

Hi Everyone,
Am I able to write a struts portlet that has input parameters? Right now, I have a struts portlet with a provider.xml that looks like this:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<?providerDefinition version="3.1"?>
<provider class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.DefaultProviderDefinition">

</showPage>
</renderer>
</portlet>
</provider>
The <session>true</session> and <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams> need to be there to have a struts portlet. The problem is when I put my portlet on a page and then check out 'Page Properties', 'Portlet Parameters', there are no parameters that show up for my portlet. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Cory

I just went through this two days ago. I ended up logging a TAR/SR with Oracle and it turns out Struts portlets do not support input parameters. Instead you have to set the passAllUrlParams tag to true and then just use portletRequest.getParameter("parameterName") to retrieve page parameters. You have to be careful here because in this older style of doing parameters you have to manage all the uniqueness in naming parameters in case you have more than one portlet on the same page. However, it seems that if all you want to do is read the portal page parameters that unique naming doesn't come into play.
In my case I have an OmniPortlet setting some Page Parameters via an Event. Then in my struts portlet I just do:
String foo = "";
String bar = "";
PortletRenderRequest portletRequest = (PortletRenderRequest)
request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
if ( portletRequest != null ) {
foo = portletRequest.getParameter("Foo"));
bar = portletRequest.getParameter("Bar"));
That seems to work just fine for me, but in my case I will only ever use my portlet once per page so this fine. If you wanted the same portlet to have different page parameters fed to it for different instances on the same page this style won't work since all the portlets would just read the same page parameters since those page parameters names are coded in the implementation code.
Hope that helps,
David

Logging doesn't work from my Struts portlet

I've got a Struts portlet that uses (or tried to use) Log4J logging. I don't get any logging - not even .log file creation. When the OC4J instance starts up it gives a warning about not having the Log4J system initialized properly. I have a log4j.properties in my WEB-INF/classes directory so I don't understand why it gives this warning, though.
Is Struts overriding Log4J logging with its commons-logging.jar?
I also don't get an application.log file which the portlet should create in the applications-deployment/ directory.
Has anyone run into this with a Struts portlet?

I should have mentioned that I'm deploying my Struts Portlet in a local OC4J (with PDK support) and using it as a provider to a remote Oracle Portal. For some reason OC4J doesn't recognize the log4j.properties that is in my WEB-INF/classes directory.
I've also got a TAR opened with Oracle Tech. support and when they deployed my .ear file to a Portal they get an application.log file which I do not get. There must be something on my local OC4J that prevents any logging (neither the application.log or the log4j .log file gets created on my local OC4J).
Here are the messages that I get when I start OC4J:

JSF & Struts

After reading several articles about JSF and Struts,
where opinions concur and also differ,
I would like to get an opinion from this list regarding starting a new project.
If I start a new project, should I even bother to
consider Struts, or should I just use JSF?
Most of the comments that I've seen are about recommendations for migrating Struts to JSF (specially the
html part). How about starting a brand new project?
Will it be OK if I only use JSF? Will there be
a lot of work if I start with JSF and later decide
to replace some of the pieces with Struts?
I'd appreciate some comments.
gs

I think any project started today with implementation schedule early next year should be focused on Struts (like Jonathan said earlier). If you are in the exploritory stages of an implementation that will probably finaly deliver in '05 then I'd say JSF is the way to go. My reasoning is based on the industry support that was apparent at JavaOne and all the buzz. Most, if not all, J2EE servers will have JSF by sometime in '04 and I susspect that by late '05 many execs will be wondering why they allowed Struts to be used...
Not that there is anything wrong with Struts. Its great and has a lot of mind share (books, knowledge base etc), its really cool, and fun to work with, it does a reasonable job of separating the view from the model etc. Its good stuff. But since out of the box app servers will support JSF, Struts will be less and less important from an enterprise perspective. I susspect that this will really happen in full force when JSF becomes part of the J2EE spec (just speculation on my part, but it seems reasonable given the 'http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces' url :-).
This is of course only my $0.02 worth...

Struts Portlet -- helpPage

I'm trying to get a portlet to forward to a struts action (helpPage.do for example) when the user clicks on the portlet "Help" button.
What do I need to put in the provider.xml file to accomplish this?
I tried:
<helpPage class="...StrutsRenderer"> <defaultAction>/helpPage.do</defaultAction>
</helpPage>
which is similar to what I did for the showPage (which does work). But this doesn't accomplish the desired task. Instead it just forwards to the showPage.

Hello
The current JPDK/Struts integration does not support action for the other mode than SHOW mode.
We are currently fixing this issue and you will be able to achieve this in a later release.

Struts portlet integration

Hi,
sorry I'm new to weblogic but had used different app servers before. I have to do such a project until next week where you need to put the coffee machine directly beside your computer. ;-o
I already had implement my entity beans and session beans in a xdoclet / maven environment.
Now I need to do the view tier and integrate it in a existing porlat as portlet.
Here my questions:
Should I do my UI via Struts since I'm familar with struts and it would be staight forward. Should I as last step import the final struts & ejb application as portlet to workshop? What and how much work is to do to make a strus application to a portlet?
Or may alternativly should i realize my UI directly in workshop and do this jpf stuff?
As you can see I'm fishing for experimence reports about integration struts / ejb in existing portal workshop projects.
Thanks a lot for any hints.
Stefan

glad to hear im not the only one struggling with integrating ADF with Portal.
ADF consists of 3 layers,
1) Business Layer (model/bc4j)
2) Controler Layer (struts)
3) View Layer (uix/jsp/jsf)
A portlet ussualy takes care of the Controler Layer and the View Layer, it should be possible to use BC4J within your portlets, but not using layers 2 and 3.
But I guess this is not what we want, we want to create an ADF application within
JDeveloper and deploy it either standalone or as a portlet.
I wonder if this is possible with JSF, it doesnt contain struts anymore, so perhaps the
layered complexity is less?
An option is always to use the webclipping portlet, but this is not ideal.
Im curious how Oracle is going to address this, we now have 2 platforms we can develop
applications for, Portal and Standalone (ADF). Its kinda a waste that portlet development
is like developing a servlet, not using a luxery framework like ADF.
