Portlet Question

Community Admins/Managers want to have a portlet that allows them to submit content with graphics, etc. to the portal and then have that content displayed inside a portlet. For example, admins would see the content with graphics and such, click on an edit button, go to editing the content and then saving the content back without going through content server, check-in/out, approval, etc.
Has anyone done this before (found an enhanced CONTENT portlet) that gives admins/users this ability?. Another question would be the location where content would be saved, do we use the EDK to store the content in the Knowledge Directory, in database?
Would another approach be to allow admins to submit content via KD, then create a snapshot query to pull that content into a portlet. This means users could create the content in MS WORD for example, upload to KD and then a portlet would be created to pull the content in. Is this another approach?
Any help would be appreciated.

Prashant,
Yes. A Portlet WebApp is a standard J2EE web application, with some
associated metadata (portal and portlet XML files, skins, layouts etc.). The
metadata is stored outside the WebApp and is synchronized to the server
after deployment.

Excel Framework Portlet question

Hi,
I noticed the excel framework portlet(we are using ALI 6.0) will not show the background color in a cell even if there is a color defined in the excel cell. Instead it shows "Red" or "Blue" in the cell in text. Is this a known limitation of the framework or there is someway to work around it.
we are trying to use this for a dashboard and losing color will be a showstopper.
Thanks

That would be because you are at Apple Discussions, and the forums here discuss Appls's hardware and software.
For Microsoft Excel questions, the best place is one of the MS Office forums at Microsoft's Mactopia site. The link will take you directly there.

Embedding Flex applications inside a portlet question

I'm trying to embed a Flex application within a Java portlet on my WLP 10.3.2 portal. I'm able to display the Flex app in the portlet but now I'm trying to access data. Does anyone know of any documents that cover how to access Flex data from a portlet and how to access portlet data from the embedded Flex application?
thanks

When you mentioned you integrated Flex App inside a Portlet, are you using like iFrame tag or Browser Portlet where in iFrame tag you specify the Flex app url like that. If so, then you will not be able to share any data/information between this iFrame portlet and the actual other real portlets.
If these Flex app has something like JSR based Flex portlets, then you can integrate them in WLP more easily. Another option is to consume these Flex Portlets as remote portlets using WSRP on WLP Side and the producer will be Flex Portal App (with flex portlets).

Refresh Portlet question

Hello,
<p>
I have two portlets that are in the same page. One portlet is a data submitting portlet that lets user submit data, and the other one is a data presentation page that display all the data that user submitted. When users click on the button to submit data, the page will be refreshed and the new data will be displayed in the second portlet.
<p>
I use adaptive portlet to do auto refresh. It works fine for a long time. However, it suddenly turns error to me. An IE window pops up every time when I submit data. The error message in the popup window is:
<p>
<i>A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.
<br>Do you want to abort the script?</i>
<p>
If I select "Yes", the page won't be refreshed. If I select "No", the page will be frozen. However, the data has been saved in database.
<p>
Does anyone has the same experience or know this issue? How can I fix it?
<p>
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you are developing in .NET then it should be pretty easy to achieve individual portlet refreshes. If you want to search on the portal for these types of portlets we have called them 'adaptive portlets' (I have no idea why...).
What you need to do it first install our .NET Web Controls support, which you can get from here: http://portal.plumtree.com/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=3422&PageID=5590&cached=true&mode=2&
Follow the included guide - basically you just need to add a few lines to you web.config then your ASP.NET webapps/portlets will refresh (postback) in-page without refreshing the page.
Hope this gets you started!

OMNI Portlet Question

I have created an OMNI portlet. In this portlet, I am querying a table to get a short name that I want to open up a word document. In my URL, I have to pass parameters #OWNER#.download_my_file?p_file=#ID#. This is taken from my APEX application where I actually upload the documents. The ID field is in my record that I am querying and I put the #OWNER# in there as a static variable. I am having trouble getting the #ID# field assigned to the ID variable in the table. Any suggestions?

It is not the best solution, but you could try to create and share your portlet.
Or try to create your portlet in page and make your page as portlet.

Survey Portlet questions

A couple of them...
Where does the survey portlet put it's data-what does the data model look like; or where is it documented?
Is there a configuration that I didn't perform to get survey polls and survey tests to work...? Again, where is the data for the results; providing that these acutally work?
I did manage to create a bunch of surveys and delete them from the survey portlet; however they still show up in
providers-registered providers-user surveys; with no delete or remove attribues (just grant access); how do I get rid of them for good?
Thanks
Ron.

I am trying to find out where Survey builder stores the values of the responses that users enter....I was looking in wwv_text....had no luck any suggestions?
Thanks.

My Task List Portlet Question

Hi,
I want to use the tasks (ToDo) list portlet for tracking tasks in our project. How can I setup an administrator (supervisor) level role to view all the tasks the project members are working on? Also, is there a way to assign tasks to project members through the My Tasks portlet?
I am using WLP 8.1.
Thanks

Thanks Ferd this explains what has happened. I have now fournd my tasks. Hwoever it is so inefficient to manage!!
Can anyone please explain why it is an improvement to separate the two functions - Calendar and Reminders?
It just adds to the number of windows we have to have on screen again! Incomprehensible I am afraid. I hope there is a calendar around that does both like Calendar used to?

Discussion Forum Portlet Question

Hi,
I downloaded and implemented jcriggs' version of the Discussion Forum Portlet and it works quite fine with one exception, the search. Does anyone know if the search function of that is supposed to be a full text search? It seems to only search on topic name and the first word in the message posted. Also does anyone know of a way to delete messages other than going into the database and deleting the actual record? I ran a bunch of test messages and want to remove them before I go live with it and give people access. I am assuming that going into the DB is the only way, but I am not sure.
Thanks,
Joe

HI Dimitry,
I dont think you have to synchronize the block. i guess the code is synchronized internally.

Portlet question- session.invalidate()- with weblogic

Guys:
Has anyone had a issue with session.invalidate() using weblogic 8.1.
we have vignette and weblogic 8.1.
the problem i have noticed is session.getId retunrns a extra timestamp string in the end. And i am thinking since this changes the entire sessionid, it does not get invalidated. I tried adjusting the weblogic.xml's idlength session-param to 52 but this still happens after that. can anyone suggest any insights. i am unable to kill the session and hence the user is always logged in. the only way is to close to broswer window.
session id:
F1z2YTQMyD3Yy1Xs4VBHyq3M7LWVfYMnvWJgYLnrR3cPYnKL9NW9!-682555724!1170191618061
any help will be appreciated..thanks.
Harsh

i havent gone to weblogic support yet. Want to check
if anyone of us might have seen a similar issue.I haven't used weblogic in a while. I doubt many people here have. I would suggest you ask on a weblogic forum. This is a java forum.

IFRAME in portlet question - possible to call parent function from iframe?

From the iframe I tried to call the parent function by doing this parent.myFunc(). I got a permission denied javascript message. Just curious if anyone has successfully done this. If so please share your thoughts and comments.

Hi,
You will get "Persmission denied" error due to cross site scripting. Either you need to change browser settings to allow cross site scripting or you need to make sure both the URLs fall under same parent domain like both URLs ending with "*.abc.com".
Thanks

Some questions on first tutorial & portlet tutorial

Hi;
I am going through the tutorial in http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/ea/jsc2/learning/tutorials/jscintro.html and first of all, this is very well written and laid out. Thank you to whoever did it.
First tutorial:
1.     When you do Ctrl+F5 it runs the page in the browser. But there is no command (that I could find) to stop the server. Does it just run until I do Ctrl-F5 again and then it switches to the new version? Or do I need to stop it somewhere when I am done testing?
2.     In the section �Editing Java Code� it:
a.     Says to enter �getSessionBean1().destroy();� in the destroy() method � why? Won�t it be destroyed automatically?
b.     Says to enter �getHyperlink1().setText(�hello�);� in the destroy. I have placed that in the destroy and every other method in the backing bean � but it does not override the text displayed in the html. How do I change the text?
3.     Is there a way to set the keyboard mapping to match Visual Studio? My fingers have muscle memory to those keys, especially for when running in the debugger.
Portlet tutorial:
1.     I am behind a firewall but everything is on my system. I did not enter the proxy settings and it does run. When/why are the proxy settings needed?
2.     My next step is a portlet. Do I have to do anything special to get AJAX for the JSF controls, or does that happen automatically?
Finally, is it better to ask portlet question on this form, or the email list [email protected]?
Again, this is a great dev environment & tutorial � best I have ever seen for portlets (although I do miss some of the features in IntelliJ).
Thanks - dave

1-If by running you mean it exists in the server , you are right the old version is on the server until you
     A.undeploy it (server windows \ deployment server node \deployed components node-> right click on node....
     b.redeploy a newer version by pressing CTRL+F5
you will not need to stop it explicitily because IDE will stop , undeploy and redeploy the newer version after you press CTRL+F5
2-It will destroy automatically because it is OO , but it asks you to release some resources that you get yourself
in case that they could survive the GC or they may delay until JVM get their resources.
2.b : it should works , just set the text in constructor and you will see that it effects.
i dont think that tutorial asks to set value of a component property in the destroy. . it perhaps says that set the value in constructor.
3-i think it will not be available until next version.
portlets :
1- if it asks for proxy it is just for remote servers not for locally running ones.
btw : where in project settings it asks you for proxy ?
2-For now JSF components that are available in JSC 2 EA 2 has no built in ajax features. and about the final release i do not know.
by the way there are some tutorial wich tell you how you ca make them ajax aware.
You ask them in where ever you prefer. im sure that there will be some people who answer your questions.

Popping up Disco portlet in portal?

Hi folks.
This is a Discoverer portlet question for 9iAS. In short, it seems that you can't set a portlet to pop up. (I am not trying to pop up Disco Plus or the Viewer -- I am trying to pop up a portlet specifically. In the tar I've entered at Oracle support, it seems that this last point is hard to grasp.)
A nice feature of the 9iAS portal is that a portlet can have its attribute set so that instead of showing in a portal region, it displays in a new browser region.
The way you do this is:
1. Define and refresh the portlet as usual.
2. Go to graphical layout mode and click the pencil to change the attributes. Set the "Display Options" attribute to "Link that Displays Item in New Browser Window."
3. Now go to the Region attributes, click the Attributes/Style tab, and make sure that the attribute "Display Name or Image" is included in the Displayed Attributes.
4. Now return to your page view.
5. Click on the link for the worksheet.
6. You will see the portlet pop up, but it says: "Error: The portlet has not been defined."
This is of course wrong, because if you change the display back to "Item Displayed Directly in Page Area," it shows fine.
Other parameterized (i.e., customizable) portlets work fine: For instance, database portlets pop up just right.
Can someone verify this for me?
Note that this a portlet I'm trying to pop up. Popping up a Viewer page is not adequate, because I want to use the simple portlet customization features. Also, popping up a Plus session is not good either in our environment.
[Aside: Unless I am wrong, this is another example of Discoverer's inadequate integration with 9iAS portal. Among the other important issues are: You can't pass page parameters to a Disco portlet; the little drop-down arrow that is supposed to "minimize" the portlet doesn't work; data points aren't headed right in portlets or the viewer; Viewer URLs with MANY parameters don't work; I could go on and on.]

After some interchanges with Support, it turns out that this functionality does not exist due to architectural issues regarding the Discoverer/Portal integration. The problem has been logged as a bug. They guess: Maybe 9.0.5.

Questions on portlets and Single Sign On access

Can anyone help in answering these questions?
- Is it possible to integrate a SAP application in a portal via portlets (e.g. JSR) oder in Microsoft Sharepoint?

- Can a SAP system be integrated into a Single-Sign-On environment that has different organizational units that need to be accessed (e.g. Sibboleth)?
Thanks!
