PDK-URL Services portlets cause error

Hi:
I recently installed URL services and began testing some of the
sample portlets. The portles display as advertized however when
trying to return to another page we get the following error:
Error: Timeout whilst retrieving Meta Data.
Once this message starts, no other page will be displayed and we
can only make it stop by stopping/starting the Apache Web
Server.
The JSERV log contains the following error messages:
[11/12/2001 10:47:05:015 EST] page/JNI: Exception when trying to
connect in 0.

Any help would be appreciated

I also experienced some of the same problems as described in the
posts you mentioned. The disapearing page problem was the first
thing I noticed (along with having to restart the HTTP server to
get back to portal. It (disapearing page) eventually went away,
but I'm not sure why. Now, the URLServices portlets will
display but it still crashes the server. It's funny because if
I am logged in as PORTAL30, the first time I look at the
URLServices portlet page it crashes the server. After
restarting, the page will display with no further problems.
However, if I logout and login as another user and look at the
page, it crashes again. Not sure what to do.

John,
Do you think this might be the same as what Javier is seeing in
this post:
Re: A simple question about Calculation property
We're investigating this.

I have been trying to Install the Java-PDK, URLServices and Exchange Portlets on HP-UX and I haven't succeeded in getting the PDK samples to work.
The error I am getting when I go to http://xxx.com/servlet/sample is:
javax.servlet.ServletException: HttpProvider.startProvider: Unable to initialize new provider instance: oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1.NodeHandlerException: XML processing error: unable to create object of type oracle.portal.sample.devguide.samplerenderer.SampleRenderer due to the following exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.portal.sample.devguide.samplerenderer.SampleRenderer
I have followed all the instructions, read all the discussion forums and still could not get it to work.
Since you mentioned that you were using HP/UX , can you please give me some pointers to on how to get this to work and also let me know the various versions of products used.
The specifics of what I am looking for is:
1. Java-XDK version used (ie xmlparserv2.jar)
2. Java Servet Engine Version (ie ojsp.jar)
3. samples.jar version (file size), provider.jar version (file size), urlservices.jar (file size)
4. Java JDK version used.
5. The jserv.conf, jserv.properties, zone.properties, relevant provider.xml files
6. Any other information which will help.
Thanks

PDK URL SERVICES:

My Customer is using PDK-URL Services to display his application
from within a portlet.
However, the customer noted that when he clicks on any link the
within the application he is taken outside the browser window
(i.e. outside the portlet window).
Are there any workarounds for this behavior?
Steve F.

I've answered this question in other threads, but will repeat
here with an addition question.
Realistically, this behavior we designed for the portal:
aggregating, summarizing, and displaying information as
interfaces to larger applications. I understand the value but
I'm also curious what some of you would like to do with in-
portlet rendition and why a lot of people seem to ask for it.
That said, we are putting the finishing touches on a version of
the PDK-URL Services that will support this feature.

How can I pass more than one parameters in PDK-URL services?

Hi all,
How can I pass more than one parameters in PDK-URL service? All samples on Portal Center shows just one parameter passing.
<inputParameter class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.URLPortletParameter">
<name>csz</name>
<isMandatory>false</isMandatory>
<displayName>What location do you want a map for (City, State or Zip)?</displayName>
</inputParameter>
How can I write the privider.xml file for passing multiple parameters?

I answer to my question. I've got the answer.
I repeatly write down the <inputParameter> tags, and it works.

Passing parameters into an URL Services portlet

Hi,
is there any way to pass parameters into an URL Services portlet ? I want to give the user the ability to set a preference for which sections of an XML file should be displayed. The preference should be passed into the XMLFilter which should add these parameters as XSLT variables to the stylesheet. Is this possible ?
Cheers,
Ernst

As of now we do not have provision to pass parameters to the portlet dynamically. However, if required, at most could be used is headerTrim tag and footerTrim tag. If you want to discard some data from mid of the file, its not supported.

PDK-URL Services: URLPageRenderer

In the following xml fragement from the document 'Understanding the provider.xml for URL Services'
There is a reference to URLRenderer class in the <ShowPage> tag. We have been unable to find this class anywhere, other PDK docs refer to URLPageRenderer which also doesnt exist.
Can you please describe the process of setting up a simple URL based Portlet ?
<renderer class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.RenderManager">
<showPage class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.URLRenderer ">
null

hi Rob,
There has been a change in the name of the renderer class, with respect to the latest UrlServices version. Earlier it used to be URLPageRenderer.class and now it has been changed to URLRenderer.class.
You can find this in 'urlservices.jar' file located at the lib directory of UrlServices download.
This is how you need to specify your showPage tag, if you are using URLRenderer as your renderer.
<showPage class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.URLRenderer">
I think the document "Understanding Url Services Runtime" needs to be updated with the name change from URLPageRenderer to URLRenderer!

You need to install the same major version of the runtime as the executable was built in. Installing older/newer versions of the runtime won't make any difference (although that doesn't hold true for device drivers like VISA, DAQmx) and won't allow you to run your executable.
LabVIEW executables REQUIRE the runtime - it is not possible to run a LabVIEW executable without it.
You need:
- Your application
- The LabVIEW runtime installed that matches the version the application was built in
- Any appropriate additional device drivers (e.g. NI VISA) or NI components
You are missing *something* from your installation...if you are using the MODBUS library I'm almost certain you will need NI VISA (as it uses serial or TCP/IP).
If your PC isn't booting, like I said - try to boot it without a network connection and see if that works.
Edit: Have you tried searching the forums for that specific error? I very quickly found this: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/HTTP-Client-Error-OpenHandle-vi-returns-error-code-1967362015/td-p/.... You might need to include some additional components in your installer like the web application server or the system web server.

How do I get proxy authentication working with PDK-URL Services?

I am posting this question for a PDK user
HEllo!!!
I installed the jpdk and the urlservices.
In the company, we have to log into the proxy server before

We have an undocumented 'Authenticating Proxy' feature, which can be used when user needs to be authenticated before accessing external sites.
Sample usage in provider.xml:
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.ProxyInformation">
<httpProxyHost>proxy.server.com</httpProxyHost>
<httpProxyPort>8080</httpProxyPort>
<proxyUser>abcd</proxyUser>
<proxyPassword>123456</proxyPassword>
<proxyRealm>your_proxy_realm</proxyRealm>
</proxyInfo>
Three new tags introduced here are :
(i) proxyUser - name of proxy user
(ii) proxyPassword - password for the above user.
(iii) proxyRealm - Realm under which this user information is valid.
Please edit all the tags and provide your domain specific proxy details.
Please post your results (successes and problems) on the forum to enable us to better scope how stable this undocumented feature is before moving forward.

Okay, I re-downloaded the Oct PDK. I expanded the directory (in my home directory) and did a search for the
urlsample.properties file and did not find one in the JPDK. We're running Portal 9iAS v2 so I printed out the "Installing
the PDK Framework and Samples" documentation from the v2 directory and performed the following steps...
1. Copied the jpdk.ear file (replacing the previous version)
2. Edited the server.xml file adding <application name="jpdk" path="../applications/jpdk.ear" />
even though there is a similar statement with "auto-load" included.
3. Edited the http-web-site.xml files adding <web-app application="jpdk" name="jpdk" root="/jpdk" />
Stopped and started the server using the "dcmctl stop" and "dcmctl start" commands
Is there some step missing from these instructions? Is everything in the jpdk.ear file? Do I need to copy additional
files and/or directories from the downloaded jpdk package? It seems that something is missing because the
directions are pretty straight forward and yet it doesn't seem to work properly.

Ron

PDK URL Services - iFrame

Is the iFrame portlet part of the PDK ?
If I search 'iFrame' on the PortalStudio, I find links to the zip and HTML files, but cannot find them in the v1 or v2 PDK.

Hi,
IFrame Portlet is a part of community contribution and not a part of PDK.

Exchange 5.5 Portlet CDO error

Hi,
I'm trying to implement the Exchange 5.5 portlet. My specs:
IIS 4 on W2k Workstation
OWA on same machine
Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT4 server SP5
I've followed all the directions (and suggestions) but stil run into the following error:
Collaboration Data Objects (0x505)
The Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not available.
Either there are network problems or the
Microsoft Exchange Server computer is down for maintenance.
[Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store - [MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER(8004011D)]]
/ex_portlet/test.asp, line 16
Line 16 of test.asp is: set objInbox = objSession.Inbox
It just times out.
OWA alone works fine. Exchange is working fine.
I'm authenticating OK. But then nothing.
Any Help, Please????
Thanks,
Steve

Can Steve or anybody who has experienced the same error (as Steve has), while trying to install microsoft portlets, let me know whats the solution ?
I have Exchange 2000 though and have the latest (June) PDK, URL services and Exchange 2000 portlets. IIS and Exchange are on different machines but the same domain. OWA is installed on a different machine from IIS.

URL based portlet from external application

Hello,
I'm trying to integrate a forms 6i patch 10 application into SSO.
First, I created an external application, passing it the correct parameters.
Everything went ok, and I can successfully call it by entering
"Administer Enternal Application" link on Oracle Portal.
Now I want to make a portlet from this external application. For that I'm
using PDK URL Services. So I reused the urlexternalauth provider which is
included in the latest PDK. The provider.xml is included below. I successfully
registered the provider, by following the wizard "Register Portlet Provider" on
Oracle Portal. But when I call the portlet, the html startup file for the form
is base.htm. When I call the external application through the "Administer Enternal Application" link,
I get the right html startup file, which is basejini.htm.
So I need basejini.htm called from the portlet, and not base.htm.
Thanks,
Andri.

Andrea,
Could you tell me if FORMS 6i authentication process is based on cookies? The reason being, URL based portlets SSO feature is primarily driven by External Application's cookies, which act as authentication tokens. Once a valid user information is submitted to the External Application, cookies (if any) are received and stored so that they can be re-used in further connections. A typical flow of events can be summarized as follows :
At provider level :
1. Connect to External Application.
2. Submit user information to url specified by External Application's login URL.
3. Fetch cookies
4. Store them for future use.
At portlet level :
1. Read cookies fetched through provider, pertaining to this portlet.
2. Open connection to url specified by <pageUrl> tag in provider.xml
3. Read content and display in the portlet.
From the provider.xml, I can see that we are trying to show content given by http://venezuela.rjo.br.odebrecht.com:7780/servlet/f60servlet servlet, which has two parameters called {config and database}. This makes the resulting URL as http://venezuela.rjo.br.odebrecht.com:7780/servlet/f60servlet?config=icorp&database=venezula. I guess when this URL is accessed directly, FORMS servlet will redirect the user to base.htm file. Important point to note here is that when URL based portlet makes connection to the above URL, user information is not directly sent along with the request. Instead, cookies fetched from External Application, if any, are sent. But when the same application is viewed through portal's External Application, user information is directly submitted to the login URL. So, before deciding on something, it is important to know how different is the loginURL specified through portal's External Application details, from <pageUrl> of URL based portlets?

Rendering Problems using PDK-URL (URL dynamically changes)

Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.2.1
Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8.0
PDK Services for Java version 3.0.9.0.5.
PDK URL Services version 3.0.9.0.4.
Oracle HTTP Server 1.3.19.0.0a
The PDK-URL installed fine and the rendering examples work
(www.google.com, etc). As a POC, I'd like to render our help
desk page on portal tab. For the help desk portlet, I added an
entry in the URL provider.xml with the following url:
<pageUrl>http://intranet.mas.alcoa.com/tiweb/default.asp</pageUrl>
When the portlet is placed on a public help desk tab on the main
portal and the help desk tab is clicked, the address resolved is
http://mas_itport-ws2/servlet/scripts/TrackIt.asp. The
"intranet.mas.alcoa.com" portion of the URL is being
replaced with "mas_itport-ws2/servlet".
Metalink referred me to this discussion forum. Please let me
know if you have any ideas regarding this issue or can advise
where else to get support.
