Portal application without workshop

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create a portal application without using weblogic workshop but by using IDEs like JBuilder, eclipse etc. Please explain if any plugins available.
Thanks in Advance....

I'm afraid it's not easy to build WebLogic portal applications without workshop. But work is under progress to build plugins for Eclipse that will enable developers to build portal applications (Pollinate project- you can find more information on Apache website).

Building portal EAR without workshop

Has anyone successfully built an EAR file without using either the wlwBuild.sh/cmd
or the wlwBuild ant tag? I have a number of reasons why this particular method
isn't viable, I won't go into the details.
My current method works fine with the server in "development mode", but once I
create a "production mode" domain all of my pageflow portlets fail to find the
pageflow URI. The current method simple creates an exploded EAR and deploys it.
I cracked open the ear file generated by workshop and noticed a bunch of extraneous
stuff like the ".workshop" directory. Is all of this stuff really necessary? Does
anyone know what the special sauce is for getting an ear to work in production
mode?
Thanks,

Creating Portal application without dynpage

Hi,
I have created a Dynpage portal component in SAP Netweaver Developer Studio. It is via the JDI server deployed and transported to our environments.
I had a performance issue because too much data was loaded to the client. I got rid of all HtmlB and EPCF stuff, so that load overhead is reduced to 10%.
I just want to remove the DynePage as well on server side. How do I do that?
Is it not true that this is the minimum code required for implementing a controller for my Development component?:
public class Controller extends PageProcessorComponent {
 public DynPage getPage() {
 return new ControllerDynPage();
 public static class ControllerDynPage extends JSPDynPage {
 public void doInitialization() {
 public void doProcessAfterInput() throws PageException {
 public void doProcessBeforeOutput() throws PageException {
 this.setJspName("UserInterface.jsp");
Can I remove the Dynpage implementation, to contain an ordinary class as controller?

Hi Flemming
 You can remove a dynpro by enter in
\usr\sap\<instance_name>\JC<instance_number>\SDM\program
 and run the bat file
 RemoteGui.bat
That is a program similar to the SDM, there is a list with all the deployments listed in the Web Application Server
Search the name of the application that you want to undeployment and itu00B4s all..
If the answer helps you, regards

Consume an existing WebService over an SAP Portal Application

Hi all,
I would like to consume an existing Web service, which has been implemented under AXIS 4 1 and deployed to a tomcat 4.1 installation.
I've developed an SAP Portal application with NWDS (Dynpage-Structure), which has to call this web service. For this, I've generated a standalone proxy client over WSDL of this WebServie under WebServiceWizard of NWDS and called it from my Portal Application, without success :(. But when i call it (proxy) from a standalone java client (Class with main-Method), it function.
Can anybody help me, for calling this WebService
Regards
Ahmet Büyükyilmaz

Hi Ahmet,
open a browser on your portal server (or try telnet) to check if you can access your axis server. Seems like you have some firewall or routing probs.
Just enter your web service uri in address bar of the browser to see if you can get a connection. If you do not have a browser, try:
'telnet <axis-server-name> 80'
from command line. Does anybody listen?
Is your web service designed to be used by anybody? Or do you have some kind of authorization issues?
HTH,
Carsten

After creating the build.xml file as mentioned above for my WebCenter Portal application, When I try to run the login.jspx page, it is unseccessful . It throws me an error
[10:53:44 AM] #### Deployment incomplete. ####
[10:53:44 AM] Remote deployment failed (oracle.jdevimpl.deploy.common.Jsr88RemoteDeployer)
#### Cannot run application TestBuildApplication due to error deploying to IntegratedWebLogicServer.
[Application TestBuildApplication stopped and undeployed from Server Instance IntegratedWebLogicServer]
Created another sample WebCenter Portal application without selecting Ant in project technologies and then when I run the login.jspx of that application, it was success. The page opened properly.
What can be the issue for this?

SSO for SAP and Non-SAP applications without Enterprise Portal

Dear all,
Is it possible to implement SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without involvement of EP at all?
I have gone through this link.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm</a>
But I still i am not able to get the precise answer on how to enable SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without EP.
We have decided not to implement EP in first phase of SAP implementation. But we need to enable SSO for other SAP and Non-SAP applications.
A detailed description on how to deal this kind of scenarios will be helpful.
Thanks.

A client of our's uses SAP Enterprise Portal, and is using the SAP SSO, which is implemented with tickets, and requires the use of SAPSECULIB. My company provides an application for this client, and our application in hosted in our data center for the client, as a Software as a Service application, obviously across the internet. Our client, which owns a SAP license, has asked that we support the SAP SSO as a non-SAP SSO application. The client user's SSO ticket will be created from SAP EP, and then passed across the internet to our application, and we are to use that SSO ticket as an authentication ticket to our application. I beleive I know how to do this work technically, having reviewed the SAP document named: "Dynamic Library for Verifying SSO Tickets in Third-Party Software" Specification Version 2.00 December 2005.
My question is, does my company have the right to use the SAPSECULIB? Where is the official download and license download, that indicates we can download this library, and use it to support a SAP customer? We do not own a SAP license. Thank you for your help. I have searched many places in SAP support.

Is it possible to develop struts application without using JPF in workshop 8.1?

Hi,
Is it possible to develop application based on struts framework without using
Java Page Flow in workshop 8.1?
I developed one application without using JPF , but it is showing some Deployment
errors.
rgds,
girish

Girish--
Sure, though, I'd still encourage you to take a look at JPF. :)
If you remove the JPF runtime files from WEB-INF/, WEB-INF/lib, and JPF specific entries in
web.xml, you can start defining a struts-config.xml file against the Struts 1.1 runtime in the
webapp, or you can replace that with a different version as you need. You'll also need to define
the Struts runtime in web.xml including the servlet, taglibraries, etc.
One note, the JPF flow view and other JPF specific editors don't work over a normal
struts-config.xml file.
Hope that helps...

SSO between Portal Application and Portal Admin Tool

Hi All,
We have a requirement for implementing SSO between a Portal application and
Portal admin tool.
We are using WL Portal 8.1 SP4.
Here is the reason for this requirement -
A user logged-into Portal Application needs to login to Portal Admin tool to
do some admin activity. We want to provide a link in the portal application
using which the user can directly login to the Portal Admin tool without
having to enter the credentials again.
If someone has any info on how to implement this, can you please point me in
the right direction.
Thanks,
~Deepak

Hi,
When creating PP you have 2 options
PP used for compiling and PP used for Building
You create PP with all the libraries into Developing/Compiling Other DCs
And another PP with all the libraries into can be packaged into other build results (SDAs).
Once you have these 2 PP in place you add the DC as used DC.
And this should resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod

Problem in creating a build.xml for weblogic portal application

Team ,
I am facing problem in creating the build.xml using weblogic.BuildXMLGEN tool .
a) Below is the structure of my portal application
SrcCode
--- .metadata (eclipse plugins folder)
--- B2BApp ( Ear Content)
--- b2bPortal ( portal related file(controllers,jsp)
--- b2bsrc (java src)
b) Now I executed below utility to generate the build.xml "
java weblogic.BuildXMLGen -projectName B2BApp -username weblogic -file build.xml -password welcome1 F:\srcCode"
c) Based on the above step , build.xml got generated .
d) when I execute "ant compile" target from the command prompt , I see the below exception
ant compile
Buildfile: build.xml
compile:
+[wlcompile] [JAM] Warning: failed to resolve class AbstractJspBacking+
+[wlcompile] [JAM] Error: unexpected exception thrown:+
+[wlcompile] com.bea.util.jam.internal.javadoc.JavadocParsingException: Parsing failure in F:\b2bNew\b2bPortal\src\portlets\b2b\dmr\Picker\PickerController.java at line 58.+
e) I suspect , the problem is bcoz of classpath issues , as I generated build.xml donot have the references to dependent lib's.As build.xml looks like below :
+<target name="compile" description="Only compiles B2BApp application, no appc">+
+<wlcompile srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${dest.dir}">+
++

Please help me to reslove these issues .

===================
a) this is a upgrade project [ upgrading from wlp 8.1.4 to 10.3.2 ]
i.e we are using weblogic portal 10.3.2 version.
b) Searched some sites/forums regarding the above error, and it says something related to "jwsc" ant task [ i.e while compiling a webservice(JWS) ], but we see this error while compiling a normal controller(jpf) class :(
c) we are using "ant compile" target which internally calls wlcompile task , while executing wlcompile this error is thrown .
Help Appreciated
Thx,

Consuming external Web Service in portal application:Error URL.getProtocol

Hello!
I implemented a portal application which consums a external Web Service with NWDS 7.2.
The Webservice access works fine when I test it in a Java-Main Class.
If I deploy the application in a portal then I get the error:
java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method java.net.URL.getProtocol() of an object loaded from local variable 'tmpUrl'
It seems that my service_client-class has the problem to call the wsdl if the application is in portal:
static {
    java.net.URL url = null;
    try {
               java.net.URL tmpUrl = SERVICEClient.class.getClassLoader().getResource
              ("wsdl/com/sap/test/SERVICE.wsdl");
              url = new java.net.URL(tmpUrl.getProtocol(), tmpUrl.getHost(), tmpUrl.getPort(), tmpUrl.getFile());
    } catch (java.net.MalformedURLException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
Can anybody help me?
Thanks, Thomas

Hello Thomas,
I got the same error. In my case I used an Enterprise Application Project for the developement of my Portal Service. The portal service itself was calling an external webservice.
The reason in my case lies behind the generation of the EAR-File with the NetWeaver Developer Studio). Inside the generated EAR-File the WSDL-File was always missing. In consequence "
java.net.URL tmpUrl = SERVICEClient.class.getClassLoader().getResource
              ("wsdl/com/sap/test/SERVICE.wsdl");" is always "NULL".
and "tmpUrl.getProtocol()" leads to the NullPointerException.
So I copied my wsdl-folder / package with the wsdl-file inside the {application}.ear / {application}.war / WEB-INF / private / lib / {application}.jar and everything works fine:-)
Regards
Steffen
PS: Today I found a better way without copying the wsdl-file into the EAR-File. I just didn't use the Enterprise Application Project for the developement of portal services anymore. If you look inside the generated EAR-File, you can see, that you can develop the portal service also by using a simple Dynamic Web Project wrapped by an Enterprise Application Project:-)
(Rem.: Don't miss the portalapp.xml deployment descriptor).
If you deploy the Enterprise Project the WSDL-File is always inside the generated EAR-File :-)

How to import existing WLS Portal App into Workshop?

I have searched and searched, and tried every different combination of imports, with no success.
I have an existing EAR file, with a Portal Application, created for WebLogic. I am able to deploy it to my server, and it works fine. I would like to import into Workshop (either into a new project, or into an existing project - I've tried both ways), so I can manipulate it (basically, I need to enhance this existing Portal, and I want to use it as a starting point).
I don't have the complete Portal Workshop directory (I would expect a .work file, and other files related to Workshop), just a deployable EAR (probably generated with Workshop).
Anyone know how to bring the Portal into Workshop so I can work with it. The only way I can get close to it now, is to create a similar page layout, and import each component singularly then place it in the appropriate location (ie. import a jsp, and put it on the proper page, basically rebuild the app by hand). There has to be a better way - especially since this app has been developed on BEA Platform from the start.
Any help is mucho appreciated, I am up against a big deadline, and have been pulling my hair out over this.

There has to be a better way - especially since this app has been developed on BEA Platform from the start.AFAIK there is no automated way to do this. In general the EAR will not contain
the source code to many of the artifacts other then JSPs. Any class files
generated from page flows, controls, etc would have to be decompiled manually
with something like JAD and even with that reassembling the output would be
quite difficult I imagine.
So in nutshell, get the source code to the portal if you want to make changes to it.

How to hide a portlet in a portal application

Hi, there,
I want to implement a scenario that restrict specific group of users to access specific portlets based on the users' role. For example, suppose that some portlets labelled A1, A2, B1, B2 and B3. Group A users can only access A1 and A2; where group B users can only access B1, B2, and B3.
Since the Weblogic portal workshop only allows creating portal application by manually adding portlets, and each portlet does not have hidden property.
How can I hide the portlets (B1, B2, and B3) that are not used by group A users; and hide the portlets (A1, and A2) that are not used by group B users.
Thanks a lot.

You need to use the streaming mode and setup entitlements. Search the docs for this.
You cannot do this through workshop, but rather need to use the portal admin tools.

Weblogic Portal Application Upgrade Issue

Hi,
I'm upgrade my portal application from WLP 9.2 to WLP 10.3 using the workshop.
I create a new workspace in 10.3 and then use the import option -> (general) Existing projects into workspace -> choose my 9.2 workspace project.(Check the "copy projects into workspace" option)
I see upgrade pop up letting me know that I need to upgrade my portal web project.It is understandable it is first time I'm importing my 9.2 portal app into 10.3 . But if i close the 10.3 workspace and reopen it again, i'm been prompted again for upgrade which had already did earlier.
What is happening here? something is missing. Can some one guide me here?
Thanks!

Did you get any solution for this we are also facing same problem. please let me know the solution if you have any

Run SAP BPM with alternative portal applications ?

Hi BPM experts,
Is it possible to run SAP BPM without SAP NW Portal and use an alternative portal application instead?
The general idea here is to use alternative SAP-independent frontend technology and use SAP BPM for process control "only".
Best regards,
Peter

Benjamin,
thanks for your reply. Does this mean that there's defnitely no other way and one MUST use SAP NW Portal in order to run a SAP BPM application (at least with the current release)?
Best regards,
Peter

URGENT:: errors with WLS Portal GA in Workshop

Hi,
I just installed the GA version of WebLogic Platform and tried to create a Portal
using Workshop.
I selected a "Portal Application" and then a "Portal Web Project". The WebLogic
console (stdout) shows many errors. It is not able to find the some skins, portlets
etc. The files seems to be there in the Web Project.
When i create a Portal and try to run it, it comes up with a error (/framework/skeletons/default/desktop.jsp)
not found. Even this file is present.
These were working in the beta version.
Anybody got the same errors. Any solutions??
Attached is the error file.
