Spark portlets not rendering

This is becoming anoying !!, Please help.
I installed JES 2005Q4 Portal Server, and I am having a hard time getting Fatwire spark Portlets to render inside the Portal Server.
I have read the FAQs on Fatwire site on this issue but the problem is still the same.
The other thing is that JES 2005Q4 comes with Portal server 6 and not 7. I am running solaris 10 on x86. Portal server web container is Application Server 8.1. EE
The jsproot written to futuretense.ini is cs.jsproot=/var/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/cs/jsp/
inside the jsp directory is a directory called cs_deployed, outside jsp in cs the following folders exist: com, eWebEditPro, futuretense_cs, jsp, META-INF, SparkSample, WEB-INF, Xcelerate.
Can some one tell what is supposed to inside this jsp folder, because I dont think I understand this anymore..
Does fatwire have any documentation on installing fatwire on Portal Server 6 2005Q4???? the documentation is all centered on Portal Server 7, and it is so decieving.

I managed to solve the problem. I will have award myself the Duke dollars.

PageFlow Portlet Not Rendering

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to use a page flow as a source for a portlet.
Unfortunately the portlet content is not rendered; instead, just the portlet window with the title bar is present.
No error message is present on either the console or the server log.
The PageFlow is a trivial one -- containing just the begin action and the index.jsp file (faces). I was able to test the pageflow directly from the IDE (choosing the `*Run on Server..*` menu action). The index.jsp content was rendered as expected. But when I tried the URLs for the portal or the portlet, no content was rendered!
I tried the combinations: WebLogic Portal 10.2 + Workspace Studio 1.1 and WebLogicPortal 10.0 + Workshop for Weblogic Platform with the same result.
What is the problem?! Has anyone ever experienced something similar?
(According to the [BEA Portlet Dev docs|http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs100/portlets/building.html#wp1062050], using a PageFlow as a source for a portlet is a perfectly good option.)

James thank you for your answer. I did not know about the Portal forum. May I ask the forum's admin to move this thread over there? I don't like to double-post.
Coming back to the issue, I can confirm that indeed this is the most basic example of a portal (created ``by the book`` with a Portal EAR and a Portal Web project). And indeed, I am able to run the portlet directly from within the Workshop; I am also able to run the JPF directly from within the Workshop.
Perhaps a sketch can explain better what I'm experiencing:
Request for `dummy JPF` URL ----------------------> content rendered (as expected)
Request for Portlet with `dummy JPF` URL ----------------------> NO content rendered (+unexpected+)

Community Portlets not rendering valid links

I've created several of the Community portlets in an organization other than the Community Sample, and when they render, the links to get to the different communities are not valid. When I click on them, I just go back to the same page. For example:
http://myserver:8080/portal/dt?=jdo__MyTestCommunity_Container&com.sun.portal.desktop.current.membership=jdo__MyTestCommunity___owner____jdo__MyTestCommunity___member&com.sun.portal.desktop.temporary.membership=NONE
It appears that the container attribute is missing after the "?". Has anybody seen this before, and if so, any solution. Thanks.

Hi GDCTG,
Some thoughts.
* make sure that you have the Portal Desktop Community Service attributes set for the user's organization and every role that the user belongs to. The attributes and default values are:
CommunityHomeContainer=CommunityHomeContainer
CommunityCreateContainer=CommunityCreatePortlet
CommunityParentContainerURLParameter=CommunityParentContainer.selectedChannel
Here's an example of setting the CommunityHomeContainer attribute using the psadmin utility,
/opt/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin set-attribute --adminuser amadmin --passwordfile passwordfile
--dn "o=EnterpriseSample,dc=sun,dc=com" --portal portal1 --component desktop
--attribute-name CommunityHomeContainer CommunityHomeContainer* add the Sun Java Web User Interface theme and JavaScript utilities to the portal desktop parent container.*
Specifically, add the:
- Tag Library URI
<%@ taglib uri="/tld/portletSetupTags.tld" prefix="pui"%>- Sun Java Web User Interface Theme tag and JavaScript utilities to the HTML HEAD as follows:
<HEAD>
<pui:setupTheme themeName="defaulttheme" supportedLocales="en,en_US"
sessionDataStrategyClass="com.sun.web.ui.portletSetup.PSSessionDataStrategy"/>
</HEAD>hope this helps, dean.

Add Content button not rendered inside Portlets on edit mode

Hi,
I have a requirement where administrators will add some external content(Add content) either from taskflow or portlet and that external content (along with taskflow output) will be shown to the users based on some logic performed inside the taskflow/portlet bean code.
This PanelCustomziable should render AddContent button inside the portlet when pressing ctrl shiftE, but its no doing so? Where as the same PanelCustomizable renders AddContent button inside the taskflow on edit page? Any settings or changes needs to be done to make it work in porlet when consumed in portal?
a)taskflow cannot be selected for this purpose, as there will be only a single instance of the taskflow across the portal and it cannot retain runtime MDS changes to a specific instance (Unless we design the ADF taskflow with MDS customization layer). By default, any runtime change in one taskflow instance will be propagated to all the other taskflow instances of the portal.
(For eg.. Admin drops this taskflow onto a page1 and adds a image(external content) using the button AddContent inside the taskflow because of PanelCustomizable and close the page. He drops the same taskflow from RC only to find that the changes he done on page1 is being retained here ..its not resuable because of no MDS per instance)
So we selected Portlet for this purpose, as it has the inbuilt personalization framework. Admin can personalize each portlet instance and drops on the the same page and diff page again. But with portlets, Add Content is not rendered.
Its not just external content, the taskflow / porltet has some logic to perform and displays some output based on the ruleId which is the input parameter.
Taskflow or jsff code
==================
<cust:panelCustomizable id="pc1">
<cust:showDetailFrame text="rules content" id="sdf1"
shortDesc="rules content">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pg1" >
<af:outputText label="RuleId" id="ot1" clientComponent="true"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</cust:showDetailFrame>
</cust:panelCustomizable>

Can you please post this question to weblogic.developer.interest.portal
newsgroup.
Thanks

Hi,
i am using Workshop 8.1 (GA release july) and i have discovered a bug (ora
feature) with respect to the beta version.
i have created a simple portlet with a view mode and an edit mode. When i
place the portlet on the very first page of a one book portal, it works
perfectly. However, i have a book with three pages and placed the portleton
the second page. Now when i put the portlet in edit mode, by clicking the
edit button, i am directed to the first page of the portal and the portlet
will not show.
Inspection learned that the URL generated for the edit button, didn't
contain the _pagelabel parameter. When i added the parameter manually it
works fine.
A final remark is that the buttons in the titlebar have no icons thebrowser
can load.
hope someone can help me out,
Lodewijk

Relation between IPC & Portlet Asynchronous rendering

Hi,
Can someone explain the relation between IPC & Portlet Asynchronous rendering.
In the below URL, its written " IPC is not supported when asynchronous content rendering is enabled "
But, when I go through the article below, its given that with IPC, portlet contents can be rendered asynchronously using custom event handling.
http://blogs.oracle.com/gmurnock/entry/portalaware_xhr_and_ipc
I'm bit confused here & need support in understanding with the help of suitable examples.
Thanks,
Uttam

Hi,
Thats the reason its not clear to me what does it mean by the statement " IPC is not supported when asynchronous content rendering is enabled "
mentioned in the URL http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/portlets/performance.html#wp1028016
But, to my understanding AJAX & IPC can be achieved between portlets only by making entire desktop property as Asynchronous on which these portlets reside, but not by making portlet property as asynchronous.
Also, if I need to make only the contents of portlets refreshed (through AJAX) instead of entire portal page refresh, I've to make all the desktops property as asynchronous on which these portlets functionality appear.
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong anywhere?
Thanks,
Uttam

How do you kick-off an action/event before a JSF Portlet is rendered?

Hi,
I am creating JSR-168 Portlets using Sun RI 1.1 and need the ability to call an action (ie. method) of the JSF Portlet before it is rendered. Any ideas how to do this?
Scenario To Resolve
If a customer is on the Check-Out Portal Page, the check-out portlet will initially display the shopping cart information.
The customer will then click buy and the portlet will display a confirmation page.
Now, if the customer decides to do additional shopping (ie. place a second order).
The customer will navigate to a different Portal Page to browse items.
Once the customer is done shopping, the customer will click Check-Out and the Portal will display the Check-Out Portal Page. Currently, when the check-out portlet is rendered, the portlet is automatically rendering the confirmation page (ie. the last state of the check-out portlet).
Question
How can I control the state of the portlet so that the initial state of the portlet is rendered (ie. the shopping cart information)?
- Is there something built into the JSR-168 Spec? Or, Sun's JSF RI 1.1 that will enable me to kick-off an action/event before a JSF Portlet is rendered?
- If this functionality is not built in, has anyone faced this challenge? If so, how did you extend the framework to resolve it?

ADF portlets not that well supported

Is it just me or are ADF portlets not that well supported in webcenter application?
I am working on them for a few months now and i seem to get one problem after the other and most of them are related to ADF portlets.
Oracle created the portlet bridge in order to create ADF portlets but why are their so many problems with the ADF portlets?
Currently we are thinking on developing taskflows instead of portlets because some (not all) of our problems are solved with that but than we have to do some extra development offcourse...
Some issues we are facing with adf portlets:
Using popups in ADF portlets: we have created some portlets with a table and each row has a detail button that opens a popup. The popup is bigger than the original portlet so what happens... THe portlet does not stretch, it shows scrollbars instead. Not realy user friendly.
When we create the same thing in a taskflow, the popup is rendered in the page instead of the "portlet".
inter portlet communication
Take a look at the documentation of webcenter and try to find one example of an ADF portlet that sends an update to another portlet. They always show examples of normal JSP portlets or the omniportlet.
I've done a great deal to find it and i made it to work but their is also an issue involved with it... In order to set the navigation parameter we should have a reference to the actionResponse of the portlet and you only can get this with a full portlet refresh so no partial page rendering here.
As it appears when you set the partialSubmit of a commandButton to false, the action or actionListener gets ignored in a portlet so the code that should normaly get the reference to the actionResponse never gets executed unless you set the partialSubmit to true but than the reference to the actionResponse is not valid.
In normal adf application a partialSubmit to false will execute the action or actionListener so i guess it's a bug in the handling of the button.
securityContext
I know portlets all do have their own context but does the JSR 168 standard does not describe a way to pass the security roles from the consuming application to the portlet? As it appears, ADF portlets do not receive this information from their consuming application.
Has anybody else faced these issues or got some others while working with ADF portlets? It seem like their is still a lot of work to do to have a good support for ADF portlets.

But if you look at other frameworks it seems possible.
I also worked with liferay and used icefaces as JSF framework. They seem to go together very well. It had a very nice way of handling IPC using ajax. No page parameters need to be set or no partialTriggers.
For example i don't get why an ADF portlet MUST be rendered in an iframe. Why can't they think of another solution? I can't imagine i'm the first one who is facing these issues...
For example the problem with the buttons. Am i the first one not using partial page submit on a button in an ADF portlet?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not frustrated with it. I just want to know if their are other things i need to know about or if other people are also facing the same struggle as i do.
Try explaining the customer why they should buy an expensive licence for something that is not really working. The problem i wrote down here are real life problems i'm facing with a customer. We can't afford going into production with these problems...

Doing some processing before my portlet is rendered.

Hi.
I would like to do some processing before my portlet is rendered.
Currently I have a jsp that is the begin node on my webflow. This jsp
has a button that I click to enter my InputProcessor and
PipelineComponent so that I can get the data I need from the database
and render my portlet appropriately.
I noticed that I could use a servlet as the begin node, and just do
the processing from there. Then let the flow take me back to my jsp
and render it correct. However I could not find out how to forward
from my servlet to the InputProcessor...
If anyone has done something like this before, or has a good idea on
how to do it, please help me.
Sincerely,
Paul Nyheim

Please put my email-address in the cc. field of the reply.

your begin node can be any type of node (ie presentation, input processor, pipeline)...
take a look at some of the example webflows, point the ebcc to:
C:\bea\weblogic702\samples\portal\sampleportalDomain\beaApps\sampleportal-project\sampleportal-project.eaprj

JSF Pages are not rendering correctly when loaded using Non JSF actions

Hi All,
This problem is irritating me and I am posting the same query for the third time here.
When I come from non jsf actions such as page submitting using Javascript, clicking anchor link, clicking normal Html submit button and so on my page is not rendering correctlly .
In other words, My first GET method/Post method works perfectly for the first time when the page is loaded.
But when we try to access the page for the second time, although logical work is perfect in bean, I am getting same old page.
How to resolve this issue?
or
Is this Bug of Sun's Implementation of JSF Framework.
Thanks,

There is a discussion about refreshing a page, Take a look at the below thread

Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
Kind regards,
Jelle

Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
Further details:
-photoshop cc and after effects cc.
-macbook pro retina
If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore

SSRS report does not rendering properly in sharePoint 2013

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie with the MSBI development tool, I've tried to create a testing SSRS reports and its layout showed correct when preview them in Visual Studio (2010 and 2012). Then I migrated the report in SharePoint 2013, but the layout do not rendering as I
expected, some data mix-up on the matrix table
The Ident on detail data (drill down) does not render properly compare the layout in when preview in Chrome or Visual Studio (SSRS)
The summation on second matrix table went wide on both browsers compare when preview thereport in Visual Studio
The export PDF (using the "action" button on the report in the browsers) showed the second matrix table is overlaps the first matrix table.
This report has 3 main queries (2 for the matrix tables and 1 for the chart) on a Dev environment:
Window server 2008 R2 with service pack 2
SQL server 2012 enteprise with service pack 2
SharePoint 2013 (no service pack) with integrated mode on the report service
Visual Studio 2010 development tools
I'm very appreciate for anyone can provide any solution to solve this issue.
Thank you so much,
Dac.
P.S.: I attached the preview of the report in both browsers (IE & Chrome) and its preview in Visual Studio.
An update: ... due to the setting space on"snap to grid" default to 20 and I've made the 2nd matrix table overlaps the 1st one, therefore the it showed overlaps when export to PDF file ... it's solved.
But the Indent on IE and summation still persist in both browsers.

Hi everyone,
The PDF's export has been solved due to the 2nd matrix table overlaps on the 1st table.
Also, I don't know why the summation (aka Row Total) went wide when data represented on the 2nd matrix table (see previous post on the row named as "Premium over 5000$" on both browser. So I've redesigned the 2nd table as normal table instead of
matrix table ... and the summation showed correct (it's so weird)
For the "Indent" issue showed in IE on both drill down of the 1st table and 2nd table which cannot be fixed, and the end user used only IE.
Could someone can enlighten me please?
Many thanks.

LIbrary thumbnails not rendering

I have dozens and dozens of thumbnails in library grid that do not render. The boxes show up as empty grey squares with keyword icons among others. There does not seem to be any pattern or reason that some photos render fine and others do not. If a photo is taken to develop mode then the thumbnail renders as the photo loads in the main window, otherwise the same photos that are all grey in library view are grey in develop view until the individual photo is loaded. Closing LR and reopening it seems to cause any photo which was originally not rendered but then forced to render in develop to go back to the unrendered state.
This is driving me crazy as I cannot count on LR to display the images I have in the catalog. Syncing a folder which has many of these unrendered previews does not indicate any missing files.
Help.
Lightroom 3.2 64 bit
Windows 7
Catalog w/ about 18000 images upgraded from LR 2.7

Check other threads in this forum. I recall this is usually caused by a bad display colour profile. This is apparently more common with some Windows systems.

Inserting new row in Table in 11.1.2 from 11.1.1.3 not rendering table!!!!!

Hey Guys, my status might say noob but i am well seasoned in ADF. We migrated from 11.1.1.3 to the new JDEV 11.1.2. We are doing a test run before we commit to it.
I noticed the following:
We have master detail forms that work flawlessly in 11.1.1.3 when we ran the app under 11.1.2 we noticed that any time you try to add a new row to a table the table does not render. The server logs show the action going through and the count goes up one but the table is not rendered anymore it disappears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now all of this was imported from the 11.1.1.3. all of our tables that have createInsert actions on them are doing this.
If i drag the tables again and set them up from scratch it seems to work fine. Our issue is we have a good 300 of these tables in different panels and panel collections. we have to do all of that work all over again.
No errors show in the log. IS THIS A BUG???????????????
UPDATE: REFRESHING THE PAGE using the Browser Refresh Button Will show the new ROW....... THIS IS NOT GOOOD!!!

Thanks for the reply.
The Project was in version 11.1.3 before I migrated. I had the issue above so I migrated to 11.1.1.4 then to 11.1.1.5 then to the New GREAT 11.1.2 to go by the matrix of support The issue is still there.
Basic Page layout:
SEARCH-MASTER-PANELTABBED LAYOUT (Hold all the CHILDREN RECORDS)
PANEL TAB is made of ; SHOW DETAIL ITEM- PANEL COLLECTION- TABLE.
the panel collection has a toolbar with 2 buttons in it.
My issue varies:
Hit create insert==> record count goes up one but the table does not render (it goes all blank even if records existed in it)
Hit undo budo ==>table still not rendering. (click next on master record then click previous to come back, the table renders correctly.)
other tables do the following:
Hit Create insert == > table shows normally and I can enter new record.
Hit undo ==> table count goes down but table does not render at all anymore.
for this issue i noticed if i set cache results to false the table works after hitting undo
IF I CREATE A NEW SHOW DETAIL ITEM and put exactly what the other tabs have in them and use the same layouts and buttons the new table works great!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????? WTF?!?!?!?!
NO ERROR MESSAGES even at finest level are thrown.
I HAD NO ISSUES IN THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF JDEV IS THIS A JSF 2.0 BUG????
BY THE WAY JDEV 11.1.2 sometimes CRASHES or Hangs when viewing the Binding of Page when you click on Binding straight from the Design view. I have to open the Binding Page separate to view it. FYI

Safari not rendering a page correctly

A webpage I created in Dreamweaver uses drop down menus that are supposed to display just to the left of the link they drop from. In all other browsers they work correctly, but since the latest upgrade in Safari to 3.0.4 as a part of OS 10.4.11 on my Macbook, they are not rendering correctly. Instead they are appearing much further to the left where it's difficult to move the cursor to them before they disappear. Until I changed the color of the drop downs they were disappearing into the background. Any ideas why Safari is not rendering them correctly? I'd like to keep Safari as my primary browser, but if it won't render my own page correctly, what other pages might it be messing up? Address of the page is http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/woottonhs/ The drop downs are connected to the central column list that has small arrows beside the words. They will probably work correctly for you, but won't for me in Safari. What can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
KWolfrey

Hi,
I'm running 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4 and as far as I can see the menus seem to work just fine here.
Do you have a custom stylesheet set in Safaris advanced preferences? (Some Safari enhancer applications set one even if you didn't manually set one so double check to make sure.)
Also, do you use PithHelmet?
One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)
Lastly, I doubt these [errors|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.montgomeryschoolsmd. org%2Fschools%2Fwoottonhs%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&g roup=0] have anything to do with your problem since it seems to work fine for me, but you might want to look into them at some point.

h:messages tag not rendering right

Hi All,
I have an <h:messages /> tag in my jsf page and it's not rendering correctly.
This is the tag in my page, verbatim:
<h:messages />
And this is the output when validation errors are created:
Validation Error: "lastName": Value is required. Validation Error: "firstName": Value is required.
That's it. No List, no nothing, just space-delimited validation errors!
When I specifiy layout="table", things are fine, but specifying layout="list" doesn't solve the problem.
I'm using v1.1 of the jsf implementation.
What gives?
Thanks,
John

I got the exact same problem.. Is this already logged as a bug in JSF?
