POrtal application object - Abstract Portal Component, Location dropdown.

Hi
I am creating a Portal application project in NWDS.
Inside this project I am creating a POrtal application object -> Abstract Portal Component.
Now, there is a dialigue box which appears, prompting for object name and package.
In the same dialogue box there is an additional dropdown box for Location.
It has two values "api" and "core".
What does these mean.
Thanks

The location of the new Java class file determines whether other applications can reference the classes. Generally, the choice is only meaningful when defining services and the interfaces to make available to those applications the reference the service.
You can specify one of the following:
■ Core (default): Places the file in the src.core project directory, and makes it private.
■ API: Places the file in the src.api, and makes it public.

Khushboo

Problem accessing webservice from abstract portal component

Hi,
I have created a webservice from a portal service. So i have created one more portal application to accessing that web service. In that, i have done the following:
-> Portal Service from Wsdl file - Client Side
-> I have entered the Wsdl file name as, the location of the WebService
-> I have selected the methods what i want to use in my application
-> Finally i have given my ServiceName, Alias and Package as well.
-> I have created one application object (Abstract Portal Component) to access the Web Service.
-> Inside that AbstractPortalComponent, i have written the coding to access the methods.
-> I have created one system with System Alias, i used this Alias name in my portalapp.xml
While running it shows the error as,
<b>com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.ServiceException: Service not found: com.sap.portal.prt.soap.Alias</b>
Help me in this, Thanks in Advance.,

Event Handling in Abstract Portal Component

Hi Friends,
I am using HTMLB Classlib in an Abstract Portal Component to develop a Dropdownlistbox. Now I want to handle the event of change of selection in this dropdown. However, this event is not getting captured. Sample code is as follows:
public class dropdownsimple extends AbstractPortalComponent
                       public void onClick(Event event)
                       public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
                                                IPageContext myContext1 = PageContextFactory.createPageContext(request, response);
          Form myForm = myContext1.createFormDocument("CRMForm");
          GridLayout myGrid = new GridLayout();
          DropdownListBox drp = new DropdownListBox("drp");
          drp.addItem("Key 1","Item 1");
          drp.addItem("Key 2","Item 2");
          drp.setOnSelect("onClick");
                                                 myGrid.addComponent(1, 1, drp);
          myForm.addComponent(myGrid);
          myContext1.render();
I am able to see the dropdown box along with values when I preview the PAR iView created from this component. Please let me know how to capture the event of change of selection in the dropdown?
Edited by: Shetul Chothani on Jun 21, 2011 6:37 AM

Hi,
Change this line
drp.setOnSelect("onClick");
to
drp.setOnSelect("click");
and leave the line
public void onClick(Event event)
as it is, and it should work just fine.
I.e., if you name your event "fooBar", the event handler should be named "onFooBar"

Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
Thanks,
Jay.

Hi,
The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
Abstract Portal Component
The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
DynPage
The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
For more details, Refer thes thread,
https://fortress.wa.gov/dop/portal/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.pdk.basic.portalcomponentimplementation/docs/jspdynpage.html

Reading Session Variables in Abstract Portal Component/ JSP Dynpage or Java

Hi All,
I have a web dynpro for Java component which passes parameters in a session and also navigates to a Java application.
Now when I try to read the session parameters in the Java application (JSPDynpage or Abstract Portal Component) I cannot retrieve the values.
Can someone throw light on how I can achieve this within a Java application.
Code is as enclosed below -
WD for Java Code
public void onActionClicked(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionClicked(ServerEvent)
IClientSession session = Utils.getCurrentClientSession();
IScope scope = session.getScope();
scope.put("TestSession", wdContext.currentContextElement().getTxtValue());
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
"ROLES:portal_content/com.be.pct.cr.Test/DynProToNet",
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
(String)null,
(String)null,
WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
(String)null,
(String)null,
(String)null);
    //@@end
Code within the Abstract Portal Component doContent method is -
IPortalComponentSession ses;
ses = request.getComponentSession();
String TestSession = new String();
String sTest = new String();
String sTesting = new String();
if(ses.getValue("TestSession")!= null){
TestSession = ses.getValue("TestSession").toString();
if(request.getParameter("TestSession")!= null){
sTest = request.getParameter("TestSession");
if( request.getValue("TestSession")!= null)
sTesting = request.getValue("TestSession").toString();
response.write("Display"TestSessionsTest+sTesting);
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Divya

Hi,
Why not use eventing between webdynpro and portal applications? That would be more easy. Check these documents.

Read properties file in abstract portal component

Hi,
i have test.properties file, i want to read information on this file and its located in src.api/properties . if any one knows How to read this properties file in abstract portal component please tell me.
Regards,
nari.

Hi Nari,
Follow the below steps:
1. Store your properties files (test.properties, test_en.properties, test_xx.properties where xx is the locale ) in the folder PORTAL-INF ->Private ->classes
2. In portalapp.xml for component-config, add this
<property name="ResourceBundleName" value="test"/>
3. In your abstract portal component you can use the below code to fetch the value for the key "SERVER_NAME".
    public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
         ResourceBundle resourceBundle = request.getResourceBundle();
         if(resourceBundle!=null)
              response.write(resourceBundle.getString("SERVER_NAME"));
         else
              response.write("Error");
Let me know if you still face any issue.
Thanks

Page Imports in Abstract Portal Component

Hi,
I have created an abstract portal component where I have called a JSP using IResource.
The JSP is called and displayed.
<%@ page import = "java.util.*;" %>
<%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.*;" %>
<html>
<body>
hello
</body>
</html>
In my JSP the moment I add the second import i.e. prt.runtime, it throws an error when I run the application:
Error when rendering jsp.
Am I missing out something?

Hi Prem,
Add that particular jar file in the lib folder of your application and also add it to the build path of your project properties.
<b>Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries</b>
Add to this build path as well.
I hope this helps you.!!

Redirecting to external website from abstract portal component?

Hi,
I have developed an abstract portal component and trying to be redirected to an external website ex : www.google.com
here is the code...
public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
HttpServletRequest req = request.getServletRequest();
String queryString = req.getQueryString();
String redirectURL = queryString.substring(queryString.indexOf("=")+1);
HttpServletResponse resp = request.getServletResponse(true);
resp.sendRedirect(redirectURL);
OR
RequestDispatcher rd = req.getRequestDispatcher("www.google.com");
rd.forward(req, resp);
But couldn't able to redirect in either ways ..
exception was ... iView not found: www.google.com.
Any help?
Thanks
MMK

Hi Mohan,
When you do a redirect you need to provide a URL. From javadocs
Sends a temporary redirect response to the client using the specified redirect location URL. This method can accept relative URLs; the servlet container will convert the relative URL to an absolute URL before sending the response to the client.
Thus when you provide just "www.google.com" the converted complete URL will be something like http://portalserver/irj....www.google.com whcih of course does not exist as a portal component. Thus you get the error iview not found.
Hence you need to give a full URL and not a relative URL.

Access KeyStoreManager within an Abstract Portal Component

Hi together,
we have a X.509 compliant certificate located in the keystore on the j2ee engine.
The private key is used to create the digital signature on the ticket content.
We need to transfer user credentials to an external portal. This portal only supports SHA1 with RSA. The key-pair was created with the RSA algorithm.
The problem is following:
I need to use an Abstract Portal Component. It is no problem to get all the needed user credentials.
But i don´t have a clue how to get to the certificate for singing the ticket content with RSA/SHA1.
I have already read the help on http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d0201854fb6a4cb9545892b49d4851/frameset.htm , but it did not work.
Has anyone of you specialists a solution for this problem?
If you need more details, don´t hesitate to ask
Thanks in advance

Perhaps I can do it with
public void doOnNodeReady(IPortalComponentRequest request){
request.redirect("http://www.google.de");
But like in this Tread, it didn't work AbstractPortalComponent and doOnNodeReady

Call jspdynpage or Abstract Portal Component from SAPUI5

Hi,
I am new to SAPUI5, so might ask basic and dumb questions.
I am trying to develop an application in sapui5 which should have the functionality to read and write a file to the server. It is different from file upload as the user wont be selecting any file, rather the data in the form should be written to a file in the server on a click of a button. After doing some research I figured out that sapui5 doesn't give an option to read/write a file to the server.
So, as an alternative I thought of developing a service, an SAP portal application (jspdynpage, WDJ, abstract portal component - or if you can suggest any other app) that can be called from the sapui5 for reading/writing purpose. The data can be received/sent as an xml, and in the sapui5 application I can parse the data and do the needful.
Now my question is how to call the portal application (that would be a url) without redirecting, and pass the necessary parameter? Sapui5 should just call that url and data should be passed or received as a parameter. I am not sure if OData model call will work, as I am getting an exception. Can you please provide a solution to this?
Ps: We are on SAP EP 7.3 and would like to stick to SAP apps, and no additional database etc.
Regards,
Piyush.

Hi All,
I found a way to do that. I created an Abstract Portal Component application that accepts data through url parameters. Used the regular java APIs to read/write files to the server.
Now the challenge, at least to me, was to call this application from SAPUI5 application. I used ajax call.
var response = $.ajax ({
url: "<url>",
type: "POST"
Next, will also try to find if I could use any of the models provided by SAPUI5 to call the portal application.
Note: Make sure both your sapui5 app and the portal application is deployed on the same server, else it wont be able to authenticate (SSO wont work) and you may receive exceptions.
Regards,
Piyush.

IPortalComponentRequest in JSP from Abstract Portal component

Hi,
I have an abstract portal component like this:
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.*;import com.sapportals.portal.prt.resource.IResource;public class Nav2 extends AbstractPortalComponent{    public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)    {          IResource jspResource = request.getResource(IResource.JSP, "jsp/Nav2.jsp");          response.include(request, jspResource);    }}
Now in the called JSP, I want to use the request object.
e.g.
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();env.put("NavigationPrincipal",request.getUser());
But, the request object is not available.
How to I get the same object available here?

Hi Praveen,
Thanks for the solution but I get some error when I add
String theCall = service2.createAbsoluteNavigateClientCall(myNavNode.getName(),IClientNavigationGenerator.SHOW_INPLACE,null,null);
The code is like this:
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.*;
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.resource.IResource;
import java.util.*;
import com.sapportals.portal.navigation.*;
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.*;
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.session.IUserContext;
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.util.StringUtils;
public class Nav2 extends AbstractPortalComponent
    public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
          //IResource jspResource = request.getResource(IResource.JSP, "jsp/Nav2.jsp");
          //response.include(request, jspResource);
          response.write("hello india");
          Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
          env.put("NavigationPrincipal",request.getUser());
          INavigationService service = (INavigationService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(INavigationService.KEY);
          INavigationNode myNavNode = service.getNodeByQuickLink(env,"help");
          IClientNavigationGenerator service2 = (IClientNavigationGenerator) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(INavigationService.KEY);
          String theCall = service2.createAbsoluteNavigateClientCall(myNavNode.getName(),IClientNavigationGenerator.SHOW_INPLACE,null,null);
Can you please help out on this one?

Adding UI elements in a abstract portal component??

Hi,
I want to create an abstract portal component in PDK with a textarea and a submit button..On clicking the submit button I want to store the textarea content in a file..So can anyone provide me the solution to this soon??
Regards,
Udit

Follow the steps :
Create a View, Drill down
From the compose section add form
Configure the form element
Add an input field
Go to the Properties of input element (Layout tab, Input field - Right click)
change the input field to dropdown.
Also you can have dynamic or static lists in dropdown. Go to entry list tab, either create your static values or choose a webservice or bapi for dynamic list.
Hope this helps.

Here are the instructions for Client-Pull method using meta tag
1. Use META in the HEAD section of your document.
2. Write HTTP-EQUIV and CONTENT in META to accomplish client-pull.
Examples
To reload the document itself:
HEAD
META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=5
HEAD
CONTENT=5 means wait for 5 seconds to reload the page.
To load visitors to another page:
CONTENT=5 means wait for 5 seconds to reload the page.
To load visitors to another page:
HEAD
META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="5;URL=http://mbiz.co.th/tips_tricks/"
HEAD
URL=...... This is the URL of the page you want to load a visitor to.
using java script window location you can refresh the page
like window location equals your location
and call the method which contains window location in body onload
