Parameter passing portlet

Hello
I'm creating a portlet that will let users send sms messages to our employees.
I created this by implementing the renderBody method in my class that extends BaseManagedRenderer.
The user input is sent from a form which is accepted by the same portlet.
My problem is that i can't delete the parameters passed to the portlet. That means that every time the user open the page, the same sms is sent over again.
Does anyone know how to delete the parameters?
Regards

HI,
I don't think this is an issue with deleting the parameters. Only when you submit the page containing the portlet, the parameters will be passed to it.
Because, when you create a page and try viewing it from navigator, it'll have a link without the parameters. Something like,
http://mymachine.com/servlet/page?_pageid=61&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
And once you submit the page (containing portlet prams) , it'll look like
http://incq036bc.idc.oracle.com/servlet/page?_pageid=61&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&paramname1=value1&paramname2=value2
There are no other means that the portlet(your renderBody) can obtain the parameters, other than submitting the page again.
By this, "every time the user open the page" do you mean "eveytime the page is refresh" ?
Thanks,
Sriram

Portlet event link to pass parameter between portlets

Ok list, I followed the documentation Adding Parameters and Events to Portlets
PDK Release 2 (9.0.2 and later) and tried to make a portlet that pass parameter to another portlet using event link. I created the supposed parameter in the page and made the correct association to the receiving parameter portlet. The case is: The parameter is not caught in the receiving parameter page.
This is my event link jsp code:
<%
String sImgPath = PropertiesReader.getProperty(PropertiesReader.KEY_IMAGES_PATH);
PortletRenderRequest portletRequest = (PortletRenderRequest)request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
// The portlet definition in provider.xml includes the following:
// - Event "submit" with event parameters "funcionalidade"
String eventSubmit = EventUtils.eventName("submit");
String eventParamFuncionalidade = EventUtils.eventParameter("funcionalidade");
// Build up the list of parameters for the "submit" event
NameValuePair[] eventSubmitParams = new NameValuePair[2];
// Give the 'funcionalidade' event parameter the constant value 'chat'
eventSubmitParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventParamFuncionalidade, "chat");
// The event name must be passed as a parameter on the URL
eventSubmitParams[1] = new NameValuePair(eventSubmit, "");
%>
<TABLE CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" BORDER="0">
<TR><TD><a href="<%=PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(portletRequest,   portletRequest.getRenderContext().getEventURL(), eventSubmitParams, true, true)%>"><IMG SRC="<%= sImgPath + "menuButChat.gif" %>" BORDER="0"></a></TD><TR>
</TRABLE>
And this is my receiving parameter jsp code:
<%
String sFuncionalidade = "";
PortletRenderRequest portletRequest = (PortletRenderRequest)request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
// Get the portlet definition - needed to get the public portlet parameters
PortletDefinition portlet = portletRequest.getPortletDefinition();
// Get the public portlet parameters
ParameterDefinition[] parameters = portlet.getInputParameters();
// Display all values for each of the public portlet parameters
for (int currParameter = 0; currParameter < parameters.length; currParameter++)
String name = parameters[currParameter].getName();
out.println(" <p>name = " + name + "</p> ");
// Get the parameter values
String[] values = portletRequest.getParameterValues(name);
// Display the parameter's values.
if ( values == null )
// Null array indicates no values for this parameter.
out.println(" <p>values i null</p> ");
else
out.println(" values nco i null ");
// Loop through each of the values and display non-null values on a separate line.
for ( int j = 0; (values != null) && (j < values.length); j++ )
sFuncionalidade = values[j];
out.println(" <p>" + sFuncionalidade + "</p> ");
%>
And this is my portlet definition in provider.xml:

Where do I miss ???
Any help will be appreciated.

Leandro,
Few things which you might want to cross check to see if we are
on the right track :
1. Page containing Parameter receiving portlet contains a
paga parameter mapped on to its public parameter.
As per your example, parameter receiving page should have a page
parameter with name - "funcionalidade" - and portlet's corresponding
parmeter should be mapped to this page parameter. This can be
done through "Parameters" tab in the Page Properties screen.
2. Page containing Parameter passing portlet contains proper event
mapping.
As per your example, we have an event called "submit". We should
be able to see "submit" event under "MenuColaboracao" portlet.
When this event is raised, select which page should receive the event
data. As soon as a page is selected, this page's public parameters
are displayed below. Beside that we must be able to see a choice box
which displays four choices one of which would be "Event Output".
Map this output to the event parameter.
Hope it helps.

Parameter Passing via URL

When I'm running the Sample Parameter
passing Portlet comming with the PDK
I'always get the following error message:
PORTAL30.wwpob_page.render_portlet_screen: SIGNATURE (parameter
names) MISMATCH
VARIABLES IN FORM NOT IN PROCEDURE: P_MY_NAME_IS
NON-DEFAULT VARIABLES IN PROCEDURE NOT IN FORM:
I havent got any Idea what's going wrong everything else
sems to work, but as soon as I'm passing parameters via the
URL Portal complains about mismatching parameter names.
So I'would be very pleased if someone could give me
a hint, what I am doing wrong.
Thanks Alex

what type of pdk are you using (java, pl/sql, etc.)?

Parameter Pass Between Portlets

Hi,
I'm trying to get a parameter pass between two portlets on the same page, I've looked at the PDK samples but have not been able to get either working, I'm on 9iAS R2 (9.0.2.0.1.). I've installed the PDK and loaded up the various samples. Any information or guidance appreciated. In a nut shell I'd ideally like to pass a parameter from a report (java or pl/sql) in one portlet to a portlet next to it on the same page which can then run a second report (java or pl/sql).
Regards
Stephen

Hi Peter,
We have an omniportlet that displays a graph, we want the user to be able to pick a value from this graph and pass it as a parameter to another page containing another omniportlet which would select values based on the parameter value.
We have 9ias version 9.0.2.6.2. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

A sample question about parameter passing between portlets

How can I pass parameter between portlets in one page using pdk API. Please give a demo. Thx

In one portlet I send parameter using form: actionn="<%= UrlUtils.htmlFormActionLink(prr, UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK) %>"
<input type="text" size="20" name="textname" value="">...
Then I want to receive the parameter in another portlet. My code is:PortletRenderRequest prr = (PortletRenderRequest)
request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
out.println( prr.getParameter("textname") );
But why I can't receive the parameter successfully.
Thanks for any help!!!

Pass parameter from Portlet to Form?

Hi Frineds
I created a plsql portlet in which i am displaying a combo box with the list of client id's
I created a Form from locally built Provider which got a client ID as one of the column.
My question is. If the user selects client id from combobox, it should go the
client ID column .. on the Form
Can any one give me suggestions.. how to achieve this?
Thanks
Ravi

I have a similar problem where I have a portlet X which accepts parameters using the <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams> tag in the provider.xml and it works if portlet X is directly on page A. However, because I need to wrap portal security around this portlet declaratively, I will need to apply security on this page A and then publish page A as a page portlet Z, then drop page portlet Z on another page, page B. (I hope you all been through this before to apply security around a portlet). By doing this - the parameters are no longer being passed into portlet X anymore.
To get around this - I will need to define page parameters for page A and map them to portlet X via the "Parameters" tab in edit mode and then define the same set of page parameters on page B and map them to the page portlet Z just to get the parameter passing working and flowing through to portlet X.
Is there anyway around this?
Do we always need to define page portlets in 10.1.4?
What does the <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams> tag do in 10.1.4?
In 10.1.2 - the <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams> tag was all you need to pass any number and type of parameters from a page B->page-portlet Z->portlet X
This feature seems to be missing in 10.1.4.
Please respond.
Thanks

Pass Url Parameter To Portlet in a Tab Page

Ciao,
i have a portal page with TABS. I have pl/sql portlets that read the url, then they pass parameters to the url. With "wwpro_api_parameters.get_value" and the session i am able to pass parameters via URL and to know if i have changed tab or not.
My question is: how cai i "CLEAN" the url if i change the tab? As you know, if i change tab, only the "_pageid" parameter change, and not the whole url.
i.e.: http://misun13:7777/servlet/page?_pageid=202,204,217&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&par_name=5
I change the tab: http://misun13:7777/servlet/page?_pageid=202,206,217&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&par_name=5
But i want to RESET the parameters! That is i want: http://misun13:7777/servlet/page?_pageid=202,206,217&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
It seems i can't change the standard behaviour of the TAB.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Ettore

Hi Ettore,
It is true that when you pass parameters, they show up on the URL and even when you change tabs the messy long URL will show up.
One way to avoid this, is to use the session store instead and save and access the parameter values from the session storage itself.
For more details on using Session Storage, check the PDK documentation for using the session store.
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/implementing.session.storage.html
Another thing, you may try is using the owa_utl.redirect to specifically redirect to a clean URL. But i suspect that if your parameter values are still active, they will populate the URL in any case.
For further details on parameter passing, check:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/guidelines.parameter.passing.html
Hope this helps.

Pass request parameter to portlet in jsp

I forgot to mention that the jsp is external and that I am using Portal 10.1.2.
With internal jsps the parameter passing works fine.
Amazingly portletRenderRequest.getRenderContext().getPageURL() contains the request parameter. It would be possible to extract it from the url. But I really don't want to do that.

Using a Simple Parameter Form Portlet with a Report Portlet to Search DB

My organization registers clients for workshops in iLearning.We use iPortal for our web site. I would like to use a Simple Parameter Form Portlet for clients to conduct a search on the data that is in iLearning and have it displayed in a Report Portlet on a separate page. I have been able to bring the iLearning data into the Report Portlet but I have not been successful in setting up the Simple Parameter Form Portlet to do a search on the data and then have it displayed. Any suggestions.

hi,
i just tested this in portal 10.1.4 and it works fine. you can fire an event and pass a parameter from a simple parameter form portlet and consume this page parameter in a portlet builder reports component. there is some documented behavior in bug 3321558 that has to do with personaliziation (customization in older releases). if you enter some personalization the page parameter gets ignored. for more information on this please contact oracle support services.

NEED PARAMETER PASSING SAMPLE INSTALLATION ZIP FILE...

Hello All,
I was viewing the following page:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/
articles/guidelines.parameter.passing.html
Near the end of the page it reads, "For a detailed PL/SQL portlet
sample, see the Parameter Passing sample included in the PL/SQL
section including the Parameter Passing Sample Installation
article and check out the source code in the downloadable zip
file."
The phrase "downloadable zip" near the end of this line is a link
that is supposed to provide you with the zip file. When I click
on this link I get the file to save as sample.zip. Files get
downloaded but when I try to unzip it,
I encounter error messages :
Missing 1 bytes in Zip file (attempting to process anyway).
Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.
If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again.

let say i have a code as below:
public void init()
      String rootDirectory = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( this,
         "Please enter a directory name:" );
      FileTreePanel panel = new FileTreePanel( rootDirectory );
      getContentPane().add( panel );
   }and i use this code to call the batch file:
import java.io.IOException;
public class callbatch{
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          try {
               Runtime runtime=Runtime.getRuntime();
               Process process=runtime.exec("cmd /c start callnvcc.bat");
               catch(IOException ioe) {
                    System.out.println(ioe);
     }how can i pass the rootDirectory into my callnvcc.bat?

JRC bug: apostrophe in string parameter passed to Crystal Report with Command datasource to SQL Server

Post Author: nl11087
CA Forum: JAVA
A single quote/apostrophe in string parameter passed to a Crystal Report with Command datasource connecting to a SQL Server database, using sqljdbc driver does not escape the special character correctly. When doing a preview in the Crystal Reports IDE it allows you to escape the input parameter as expected and work correctly, but through the JRC component it fails. For string parameters without special sql server characters I experience no problems at all. When replacing the Command with a direct table there is also no problem.
Reproduction:
1. create a database db1, create a table table1 with a String type column col1.
2. Create new report Report1.rpt, create a connection to above, Add Command using 'SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE col1 = '{?Par1}' . Add a parameter field Par1 : String
3. In your java stand alone application using JRC add the parameter Par1 with a value "Jon Doe's Value" containing a single apostrophe. Export to PDF. (I also tried MSWord and this failed too, similar behavior). Additionally, in another test try to replaceAll("'","''") to escape it, preventing the code to break, but now it does not retrieve the expected row anymore and you end up with an empty report.

How to get each value from a parameter passed like this '(25,23,35,1)'

Hi
One of the parameter passed to the function is
FUNCTION f_main_facility(pi_flag_codes VARCHAR2) return gc_result_set AS
pi_flag_codes will be passed a value in this way '(25,23,35,1)'
How to get each value from the string
like 25 first time
23 second time
35 third time
1 fourth time
I need to build a select query with each value as shown below:-
(SELECT t2.org_id, t4.description
from org_name t2, ref_org_name t3, code_table t4
where t2.att_data = t4.code
and t3.ref_code = t2.att_type
and t2.att_type = 25 and t3.code_type = t4.code_type
and to_date('01-JAN-10', 'DD-MON-YY') between t2.att_start_date AND t2.att_end_date) q1,
(SELECT t2.org_id, t4.description
from org_name t2, ref_org_name t3,code_table t4
where t2.att_data = t4.code
and t3.ref_code = t2.att_type
and t2.att_type = 23 and t3.code_type = t4.code_type
and to_date('01-JAN-10', 'DD-MON-YY') between t2.att_start_date AND t2.att_end_date) q2,
(SELECT t2.org_id, RTRIM(xmlagg(xmlelement(e, t4.description || ';')
ORDER BY t4.description).EXTRACT('//text()'), ';') AS DESCRIPTION
from org_name t2, ref_org_name t3,code_table t4
where t2.att_data = t4.code
and t3.ref_code = t2.att_type
and t2.att_type = 35 and t3.code_type = t4.code_type
and to_date('01-JAN-10', 'DD-MON-YY') between t2.att_start_date AND t2.att_end_date
group by t2.org_id) q3,
(SELECT t2.org_id, t4.description
from org_name t2, ref_org_name t3, code_table t4
where t2.att_data = t4.code
and t3.ref_code = t2.att_type
and t2.att_type = 1 and t3.code_type = t4.code_type
and to_date('01-JAN-10', 'DD-MON-YY') between t2.att_start_date AND t2.att_end_date) q4
Please help me with extracting each alue from the parm '(25,23,35,1)' for the above purpose. Thank You.

I would propose the usage of regexp for readibiliy purposes and only in the case if this doesnt perform well, look at solutions using substr etc.
select

"25" "23" "35" "1"In pl/sql you do something like l_val:= regexp_substr( '(25,23,35,1)', '\d+', 1, 1);
If t2.att_type is type of number you will do:
t2.att_type= to_number(regexp_substr( '(25,23,35,1)', '\d+', 1, 1))Edited by: chris227 on 01.03.2013 08:00Sir,
I am using oracle 10g.
In the process of getting each number from the parm '(25,23,35,1)' , I also need the position of the number
say 25 is at 1 position.
23 is at 2
35 is at 3
1 is at 4.
the reason I need that is when I build seperate select for each value, I need to add the query number at the end of the select query.
Please see the code I wrote for it, But the select query is having error:-
BEGIN
IF(pi_flag_codes IS NOT NULL) THEN
SELECT length(V_CNT) - length(replace(V_CNT,',','')) FROM+ ----> the compiler gives an error for this select query : PLS-00428:
*(SELECT '(25,23,35,1)' V_CNT FROM dual);*
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(V_CNT);
-- V_CNT := 3;
FOR L_CNT IN 0..V_CNT LOOP
if L_CNT=0 then
V_S_POS:=1;
V_E_POS:=instr(pi_flag_codes, ',', 1, 1)-1;
else
V_S_POS:=instr(pi_flag_codes,',',1,L_CNT)+1;
V_E_POS:=instr(pi_flag_codes, ',', 1, L_CNT+1)-V_S_POS;
end if;
if L_CNT=V_CNT then
V_ID:=TO_NUMBER(substr(pi_flag_codes,V_S_POS));
else
V_ID:=TO_NUMBER(substr(pi_flag_codes,V_S_POS,V_E_POS));
end if;
VN_ATYPE := ' t2.att_type = ' || V_ID;
rec_count := rec_count +1;
query_no := 'Q' || rec_count;
Pls help me with fetching each value to build the where cond of the select query along with the query number.
Thank You.

Issue with parameter passing in ie7 to php xml

Hi
I wondered if anyone could offer a little advice what the issue is here.
I have a page with xml generated from php in a separte file and presented by a dataset in spry.
The xml is OK and in firefox it all works but ie seems to barf on it.
The situation is this:
I have a jump menu on a front page that provides a url with anumeric parameter passed like this
platforms.php?platform_id=1
This parameter is picked up by php on the platforms.php page using the $_GET Array and is passed into the code in my Spry dataset to the file that runs my query and returns my xml- so basically the page displays a dataset filtered on this parameter id.
It works perfectly in FF.
In IE if I link straight to the page without a parameter at all- so platforms.php the page loads OK using the default parameter I have set up in the top of this page to send the default id of 1 to the code page so the spry query says platform_sql.php?platform_id=1 and the xml generator is fine with thisiel. ie I do a
if(isset($_GET['platform_id'])){
$platform=$_GET['platform_id'];
}else{
$platform=1;
The dataset loads Ok in IE but when I pass a parameter in the url from my jump menu IE gives a blank SPRY table i- it momentarily appears with just the placeholders for my dataset elements then vanishes. The source code of the page shows the correct id was set in the spry data going to my query file.
There is an error in ie saying there is a javascript error but its not any help- in ie fashion- FF shown no such errors.
I thought this might be a data type thing again in the dataset but its not - I have set the elements returned to simple strings but it still does not work.
Is there a problem passing in a parameter like this to a spry dataset?

After about half a day of mucking round I found the problem and a solution to this problem.
What appeared to have happened was that some of the older content in my database used html originally encoded using a WYSWYG editor called ktml.
Later data uses Tiny MCE. It looks like the character set of the two formats is slightly different and as a result some characters rendered incorrectly when passed through XML parsing where it specifies the character set as utf-8.
Firefox on the whole seems to ignore the issue though looking at the raw xml output of my php-xml code- where "-" characters were (dashes) there was a question mark character shown. None the less in actual use on my page the xml was produced and the dataset worked out.
In IE, it barfed at these same characters and failed to return the xml dataset.
What confused the issue more was some of my smaller datasets if they by chance never had a "-" character in rendered OK in IE- hence my default dataset (platform_id=1) worked in IE. After much experimenting I noticed other ids worked too if there was never such a character.
How I got round it was to wrap my server side data in the utf8_encode() function, and now all my xml is clean.
The javascript error being thrown was a red herring though I could not tell until I managed to run my page in ie7 with Visual Studio Express error console running- I had this on a spare machine at work so could debug with it.
All sorted now- now just need to find away to wrap all my datasets in collapsible panels that work.

Parameter passing problem to standard JSP iView

Hi,
I'm trying to launch a standard iView with some a parameter directly from the browser by calling the url http://<server>/<iview>?<param>=<value>
The iView ID is com.sap.pct.hcm.ecmmain.approval and by looking at its details from the content catalog I saw there was a property called CREVI. I would like to fill this in but the iview doesn't respond to the URL params at all. Setting them staticly by editing the iView works perfect.
I have also checked that the "Parameters to pass from Page Request" property includes * and excludes some other properties than the one I'm testing.
I thought this was going to be simple but can't just make it work..I guess I'm missing something basic or the property can't be used? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mikko

Hi Mikko,
We have found inconsistencies with regards to parameter passing in the URL, sometimes they are read and sometimes not. I suggest that you try to change the order of the parameters as this can affect if its read. I also believe other parameters can interfere whether or not it is read so try various scenarios.
Cheers,
John

Parameter passing issue for HTMLDB report page

Hi,
I have created a HTMLDB report based on SQL query in which the where clause column needs to takeup dynamic value each time.
So I have defined a hidden item on the page PUSERID of Source type "Static Assigment".
And this variable is used in SQL as
Select Name
from employees
where employeeid = :PUSERID
Now when i try to run this report and pass the parameter thru the URL by edititng the URL to have parameter value as
http://localhost:33492/pls/htmldb/f?p=104:8:8320056215249064505:::::PUSERID:CPRASAD
This shows the page with no data found...though when i run the query manually it returns the result.
Select Name
from employees
where employeeid = 'CPRASAD'
Plz let me know the correct procedure to make this work?
Thanks
AJ

Thanks Serigo..it works!
But why we need to remove the colon?Was it symbolizing that there was no parameter passed initially on URL and later when I was expecting one which was acting as two parametes in case of my url example(one parameter as nothing and another ad PUSERID)
