Portal 4.5 internal portlet navigation

I have a directory listing portlet/gadget that lists the contents of a folder as multiple links. A user can then click a link and drill further into the folders. I am currently using an IFrame and it looks nice but hate the performance and hide issues with the mouse over portal nav.
I have added it to a page without the IFrame and initially looks great, but naviagtion does a /gadgetform1.aspx?fid=# and this take me out of portal context and no portal look and feel. I dont wnat to just do setHostedDisplayMode as this removes the Community name. Any ideas out there?

Mickey,
I don't believe there is any 3.5.0.1 web controls - I believe you are actually using the 1.0 Technology preview controls. These controls are not actually supported (& never were).
Instead you should use the EDK .NET Web Controls 2.1 - you can download this from the product center. Using this you can use all the standard ASP.NET Web Controls - we no longer supply our own, just support all the standard ones. I think you'll find this product far better - 1) you can develop you .NET app outside the portal (using all the standard controls you're used to) and just move it in once you're ready 2) when you post back you'll only refresh the portlet (iframe-style) and not the whole page.

The browser's back button doesn't work for portlet navigation

I developed a simple portlet that uses webflow navigation to navigate within a
portlet. I made this portlet visible on a portal's home page. When I view my
main portal page, the URL is "http://localhost:7501/samplePortal/index.jsp "
In this page I can see my portlet. When I click on a link inside of the portlet,
it takes me to the page I want. Then, when I click the browser's back button
to go back to the previous page(main portal page), it doesn't work. The URL changes
back to "http://localhost:7501/samplePortal/index.jsp", but portlet itself doesn't
take me to the previous page. Anybody have any ideas? I am guessing it's because
the wfevent is null, but how do I resolve this problem?

Hi Jay,
I was able to get the back button to work for portals by commenting out the following
lines in the portal.jsp:
// prevent caching these pages at clients.
// response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.1
// response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0
// response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); // prevents caching at proxy
I also made sure my browser was set to allow the caching of pages.
You are having problems, because we set the response headers to tell the browser
to not cache the portal pages, and the portlet state has not changed back to it's
original state.

Portal Runtime Error in Dynamic Navigation Area

Hello gurus,
In our production portal all of sudden we are getting a portal runtime error in Dynamic Navigation Area. Earlier there was a problem with one of the clustered nodes and it was resolved. I was wondering if this error is in connection with that. Has anybody faced such problem? Following is the error we are facing in the dynamic navigation area.
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/fenderfolder/defaultDesktop/frameworkPages/frameworkpage/com.sap.portal.innerpage/com.sap.portal.dynamicNavigationArea
Component Name : com.sap.portal.navigation.dynnavarea.DynamicNavigationArea
Please advice on how to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all again,
We are not getting this Dynamic Navigation Error on ONE of the clustered nodes and all other clustered nodes are working fine.
Any idea how to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Portlet visible in portlet navigator but not when adding to page

Hi,
I installed the starter provider and it shows up in the portlet navigator but when i try to add it to an page i can select the provider but it does not show the 2 portlets.
Any idea?
Thank you and regards,
Andre Jochems

Hi,
Your system is probably using "realms" to give access to different stores (punchout catalogs) to different responsibilities/users. Please add the missing store/punchout catalog to the realm assigned to the responsibility where you are not able to view the store.
Please refer the following article for more details http://tenthsense.blogspot.com/2011/09/oracle-iprocurement-realms.html
Thanks,

I have a portal home page with a navigation

I have a portal home page with a navigation bar that is accessible to the public. This site also contains information that can only be accessed by privileged user. Therefore, I have a login/logout icon on the page.
The problem that I am currently facing is that when I go to the page without logging in, the navigation bar is not visible. The only thing that is visible on the navigation bar are the links but without the labels. Labels or texts that are not links are visible. When I log in, only then is the navigation bar and its contents visible.
Can someone help me resolve this problem? Is it a "style" problem or is it "security" or "rights" problem?

Go to Settings in Chrome.
Then in On Startup either check the Open the New Tap pag, Continue to where left off, or edit Open a specific or set of pages. It appear you have the last one checked and it is opening up that page.

Load Balancing Portal that uses JPDK portlets

We are having the following Portal architecture :
-Browser
-Firewall
-Load Balancers
-Multiple 9iAS middle-tiers (2)
-DB Server
We are using Web Providers registered with Portal which calls JPDK portlets.
We have registered the Web Provider url's, but of course had to
enter a URL to point to the location of the provider.xml. If we enter the URL specifying a particular 9iAS middle-tier hostname, all requests for the provider from any of the middle-tiers are routed through the one 9iAS server, which places a heavy load on this server.
Requirement : We want to specify the location of the provider.xml as local to the particular 9iAS server and so call the portlet from the same server, which will spread the load.
What would be the best way to achieve this ?

Hi,
You can very well provide the URL of 'Load balancer' while registering the WebProvider, provided it meets the following condition :
Condition : For example, your middle-tiers are named 'machineA' & 'machineB'. Your loadbalancer's name being 'loadbalancer'. Say, a user wants to access a file by name 'test.html' which exists in both machineA & machineB and is identical. Let http://machineA/test.html & http://machineB/test.html be the URLS for accessing it.
The user should get the output after specifying the loadbalancer's name in the place of the 'serverA' or serverB.
Something like, http://loadbalancer/test.html
If the condition is satisified, you can register the webprovider with Loadbalancer's URL.

Studio 3.1 & Portal 9.2 - JSF portlet problem

Hi, first time here.
Let say I have create a simple jsf navigation application using Studio 3.1 like this:
// inside faces-config.xml
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/pages/inputname.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>greeting</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/pages/greeting.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
I have done all beans config and resources bundling. After all I run it successfully in server.My next step is to create a portlet, holding the first jsp page. Oh, well, Studio can't do it and I have to do it in Portal 9.2
What should I do now? I have try many method to import my project into it and of course it is not working.
To my knowledge, portal support PageFlow (Controller.java) but i dunno about MyFace (faces-config.xml).

Hi Rene,
When you found out that you misread the instrucition and you already ran the script, what did you do next? Did you restore the db and redo over? Or did you continue on? I have the same problem with you too but I'm not sure what to do next.

Pls/portal shows: Error: The portlet could not be contacted after SSL enab

The OCS /pls/portal page shows: Error: The portlet could not be contacted, I believe this happened after SSL enabling the system. Anyone out there seen this errof before?

FYI
This happens if you remove port 80 as a listening port webcache/em, etc. Oracle claims it needs port 80 for internal communication. For whatever reason the /pls/portal providers are registered in non-SSL. Not sure if Oracle will provide a fix or ?

Redirect to Portal Login page from portlet

We have lots of applications on the portal and many of them need the logged in user information to provide the right display context. For example, "My Notes" where notes are stamped with the user's login id. Our portlet applications show exception messages when the user id is unavailable. Pressing a refresh button takes them to the portal login page.
Does anyone know how to redirect to the portal login page? Here is how I would like it to work: A user has the application up beyond the session timeout period and does something that causes the page to submit. At the application server we look for the logged in user ID which is missing due to session timeout and we send them to the portal login page.
Thanks! Mike

Hi James,
 
 I fear this isn´t possible to do with ADDT, as it will - when using its Restrict Access To Page behaviour - always redirect to the page you specified in the Control Panel.
 
 However you can help yourself with a simple custom PHP redirect script
(place it @ @ line 1 of your document) which checks whether the "kt_login_id" Session Variable is set, and if it´s not set, redirect to a different login page:
 
 <?php if (!isset($_SESSION['kt_login_id'])) { header('Location: http://www.example.com/directory/login.php') ; } ?>
 
 Hint: users who login via a different login page will still be redirected to ADDT´s default login page when logging out

Portal runtime Error in KM Navigation iView

Hi,
I have created a KM Navigation iview and assigned it to a role.
When I preview it via portal content, everything is fine.
When I login as an end user with that role (to which this iview is assigned) this list of documents in that folder is shown. But when I click on any of the doc to view that, it gives me
Portal runtime error.
An exception occurred while processing your request. Send the exception ID to your portal administrator.
Exception ID: 04:09_22/07/11_0133_7786050
Refer to the log file for details about this exception.
I have already assigned the Full control permission for this role to that document folder.
Is there any more setting that needs to be done??
Thanks,
Atul

Hey Atul,
Check the URL Generator Service for the host and alternative host. See to it that these URLs have the same domain name as that of the Portal. Also, if there has been a KM database copy lately, see to it that the document is not pointing to the server in the other environments to which you as an admin could have access to but not as an end user. So, for that, again check the URL Generator Service. I am just throwing in possibilities, it had happened with me once.
Use HTTPwatch to verify what URL is the iView trying to point to OR I guess your logs might have already told you that.
Hope it helps,
Prathamesh

Problem in loading the Portal Content Directory Structure & Detailed Naviga

Hi Gopi,
A. Pls check your browser settings.
We did face similar problems like Java script errors throwing msg's

Hope you are using IE. If so,
1. Go to Tools - > Internet Options - > Advanced .
Enable " http1.1 through Proxy Connections".
2. Increase the Cache.
B. Check whether the user has permissions to access the portal content
Go to Content Administration - > Portal Content.
Select Portal Content and right click. Select Permissions and check out.

IsUserInRole from WC Portal to consumed JSF Portlet

Hi experts,
I'm trying to retrieve, the J2EE Roles [ Enterprise Roles a.k.a Security Realm "Groups" of a logged in user ]
from from consumer Webcenter Portal Application into a Producer JSF Portlet.I have seen there were many posts mentioning that this isUserInRole method always return false. I'm also facing the same problem.
My configurations are following -
Portlet Producer App
web.xml
<security-role>
<description>RelationManager</description>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
</security-role>
<security-role>
<description>Team Leader</description>
<role-name>TL</role-name>
</security-role>
portlet.xml
<security-role-ref>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
<role-link>RM</role-link>
</security-role-ref>
weblogic.xml /* Have tried with & without creating this descriptor, but no luck */
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
<principal-name>RM</principal-name> /* I have defined a weblogic group by the name "RM" within defaultAuthenticator and assigned testUser to it. */
</security-role-assignment>
WC Consumer PortalApp
web.xml
<security-role>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
</security-role>
weblogic.xml
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>RM</role-name>
<principal-name>RM</principal-name> /* Since its the same WLS Server the same group as above will hold good */
</security-role-assignment>
+ I have done the mapping of UserGroups of the Portlets to J2EE Roles of Webcenter Portal consumer during Portlet Registration process.
I have a requestScoped managedBean within my JSFPortlet where I'm retrieving the user Principal and Roles -
public String getLoggedInUser() {
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.
getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ectx = facesContext.getExternalContext();
PortletRequest portletRequest = (PortletRequest)ectx.getRequest();
return ( portletRequest.getUserPrincipal().getName());
public String getPortletUserRole(){
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext. getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
PortletRequest portletRequest = (PortletRequest)externalContext.getRequest();
if ( portletRequest.isUserInRole ("RM") == true ) return "RM" ;
else return "";
Results :
The getLoggedInUser returns ""
And so does the getPortletUserRole method.
What am I missing and whether this is the correct approach to get the userRoles from PortalApp to Portlet.
Env: JDEV 11.1.1.5 , Integrated WLS
Note: I haven't done any configuration related to WS-Security between Portal App and Portlet App,_ since both are deployed to the same integrated Server.
-Reju

If you haven't already you have to perform user category mapping between the portal roles to portlet roles.
This can be achieved using WLST scripts.
Thanks.
