Start Web Browser from ABAP in WINGUI with SSO

Hi,
I'm using WINGUI 6.20 patch 47. I need to start a separate web browser to display a BSP.
The difficulty is that we want single sign on to work. We have the portal set up for authentication and our instance is set up to create and accept logon tickets.
We've tried to use the html viewer control but I think this only works within the html gui ?
We've tried the CALL_BROWSER function but it doesn't seem to pass along the logon ticket.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Thomas,
the suggested solution works at 90 %.
The BSP we display in the html control calls another bsp in a popup window.
The popup requests the login again. I think this is because the popup starts a new Internet Explorer browser which has no session state.
The strange thing is that if I first start a browser and authenticate to the server and then run the function which displays the bsp in the html viewer, it works great. I think it uses the logon ticket that the browser received.
Everything else works but we can't use it if popups don't work since CRM 4.0 uses a lot of them.
Also, if we use the show_url_in_browser function, it works. The problem is we have a useless window displayed. Is there a way to close this window immediately after the show_url_in_browser method is called ?
Thanks.

  • Is it possible to start a web browser from with xterm (X11)?

    Hello,
    Would it be possible to start a web browser from xterm? I am able to use for example, dbca or netca. But I want to know if I could start a web brower in my xterm. Thank you.

    Thank you. Firefox was not found on this redhat linux, I am guessing it was not installed. I did a find / -name firefox but not finding it. I don't think the SA installed GUI on this box. Is there a browser I can use even though GUI was not installed? That is why I am attempting to use xterm hoping to be able to access a brower in xterm. I am using Xming for xterm. Is there something in Xming I can use so I can access the Oracle Database Control Console? I can use firefox from my desktop but the port is block at the firewall and the SA would not open the port due to security reasons. Thank you.

  • Launch a default web browser from my java application

    Hello,
    I have been trying to launch my default web browser from my java application, but am unable do it. Right now, I am using ---- "Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start <url>"); to launch my webbrowser. It launches the browser but displays the command prompt for a second or so, and then replaces my already existing page with the new url.
    Is there any way for me to launch the url in a completely new browser each and every time. And I don't want the command prompt to show up for a sec. Please help...!
    Thanks in advance.

    If by any chance your application is an Applet, you can use this to open a new browser window:
    getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(theUrl), "_blank");
    But, you probably would have specified if that were the case. Oh well. Hope it helps someone!

  • Any new ideas for launching web browser from application

    I have searched the forums trying to find a new way of launching a web browser from a java application. The problem I am having is that on Unix and Linux systems, at least the variety I have access to (not quite sure on what that variety those are as they are not my systems or systems I control), the common method of using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(STRING) with either netscape or mozilla does not work. While using the Runtime.exec method is not the same as a console, I did try on these systems "netscape + A_WEB_ADDRESS" (or mozilla) and it did launch the respective browser with the page, so it appears that at least from the console level, those commands are valid.
    All the forums seem to say that the Runtime.exec method is the way to go. All the source code I have found through links from the forum say the same thing. I have voted on this bug:
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4210168.html
    and the feedback there does seem to indicate that there is similar trouble out there. Below is the code I am using. It does work on Win2000,XP, and Mac OSX. The application is not supported on earlier systems, and as it stands it will not work on Win 95,98, nor ME. Only small modification should be needed for work on those OSs, but as I no longer personally use those OSs, I cannot be sure.
    private void openNativeBrowser(String url) {
    // not the browser itself is started, i only call something like
    // start http://www.javasoft.com
    // and then the standardbrowser will be started ...
    StringBuffer call = new StringBuffer();
    System.err.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
    System.err.println(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
    try {
    // which OS ?
    String operatingSystem = System.getProperty("os.name");
    // how to call the OS
    if (operatingSystem.toLowerCase().indexOf("windows") > -1)
    call.append("cmd /c start ").append(url);
    else
    if (operatingSystem.toLowerCase().indexOf("mac") > -1)
    call.append("open ").append(url + " &");
    else if(operatingSystem.toLowerCase().indexOf("linux") > -1)
    // use Script 'netscape'
    call.append("mozilla ").append(url).append(" &");
    else
    call.append("netscape ").append(url).append(" &");
    System.err.println(call.toString());
    // start it ...
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(call.toString());
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    e.printStackTrace();
    As I said, if you have a new way to call the broswer that seems to work on either Unix or Linux, please post it, point to it, or explain it.
    Aaron

    there is a shell script on Linux called htmlview that you can launch like this:
    String[] cmd = {"htmlview", "http://java.sun.com"};
    try {
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
        // do something
    }which will open the default browser. Don't think this is available on other *NIX though, although the script itself would probably work so you could include it with your app (/usr/bin/htmlview).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Closing Web Browser from an Applet

    Does anyone knows how to close the Web Browser from an Applet ?
    Also Is there a way to close a browser which is intantiated from using ApplteContext ().showDocument ("....","_Blank").
    Thanks
    Sohan

    Hi kavinjir!
    Using class netscape.javascript.JSObject is possible to interact with javascript which can easily close the window browser but I'm afraid about the newest one because it isn't a child window. If this newest window contains an applet both (applets) can interact and send/receive "messages" to trigger an event (e.g; close via javascript again).
    Best Regards.

  • Error during creation of web service from abap rfc

    Hi,
    I'm creating a web service from abap rfc (SE37), but at the end  of Creation Wizard I have this error:
    "web service object already exist".
    This is my first web service creation. Into WSADMIN there are not web services with the same name.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    What system/release/SP do you use ?
    Beginning with Netweaver 7.0 SP14, you configure Web services with SOAMANAGER and you don't see them with WSADMIN...

    SDS

    Hi SDS,
    you recieved a http 404 error when trying to access the Sharepoint Web service. Http 404 indicates that the resource is not reachable (cf. HTTP 404 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There could be different reasons for that. I'd suggest rubble checking the URL of the Web service first. Try to access it from a browser on you desktop. If the URL is correc. Most likely the SAP system is not able to connect to the URL. This could, for example, be due to some firewall restrictions. You should ask a SAP Basis colleague if they are able to access the URL of the Web service from the server on which the SAP system is running.

  • How to consume WEB SERVICES from ABAP ??

    Q: How to consume WEB SERVICES from ABAP program??
         the point here is i am using SAP release 620 and the creation of proxy is out of scenario
         and also no XI.    Its only through ABAP program i need to consume one web service (its a HTTPS one ),
        Using cl_http_client... i tried it but i am totally confused of whats happening ???
    Req some senior ppl advice on the same/approach.
    any hints will suffice my way of approach...!!!
    Please do put in your valuable advices..!!
    Thanks in advance..!!!!

    Hello Srinivas,
    Following is the code for calling web service:
    data: client type ref to if_http_client,
          host   type string value 'server url',
          service type string value '8080',
          path type string value '/sap/public/ping',
          errortext type string,
          proxy_service type string,
          scheme type i value 1.
    call method cl_http_client=>create
    exporting host  = host
            service  = service
         proxy_host  = host
       proxy_service = service
       scheme        = scheme
    importing client  = client
    exceptions
        argument_not_found = 1
        internal_error     = 2
        plugin_not_active  = 3
        others             = 4.
    case sy-subrc.
      when 0.
         write 'Server reached successfully'.
      when others.
         write: 'sy-subrc =', sy-subrc.
    endcase.
    Once you got the client object you can call following methods:
    "Set the requrie URL for the web service you want to call. This is not WSDL anyway!!
    cl_http_utility=>set_request_uri( request = client->request
    uri =' url 2 be called ').
    *Then you can call send method with proper inputs for sending request to WS
    CALL METHOD client->send
    Then you can use receive method for getting the response
    CALL METHOD client->receive
    *You can get last error in case of exceptions
    CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>get_last_error
    *Close the client object
    CALL METHOD client->close
    For more information on full code refer my link in previous replay.
    Thanks,

  • Xmonad - prevent web browser from going "fullscreen"

    Hi,
    is there a possibility in xmonad to prevent an application (in my case the web browser) from resizing to fullscreen when it's the only window on a workspace? I have a huge display and do not want chromium to resize to the full resolution. I've done a lot of searching on this problem (and I can't believe that I'm the only one with this issue) but didn't find anything about that. Maybe because of my bad English...
    As mentioned in the title, the WM is xmonad.
    Thank you very much.

    Well, you could write a manageHook that tests if it is the only window on the screen, and if it is, changes the layout, or floats the browser with a spesific size

    which version of R/3 you are using. if you are on was 6.40 its very simple, there are delivered tools to generate client proxy for consuming webservice. if you are on wa 6.20 you can use cl_http_client to achieve the same. check out the following weblogs.

  • How to open a web browser from java

    Hi
    Would anybody please help me with this. I need to open a web browser from my java app but I don't know. What method I can use?
    Thanks.
    Hung.

    You can use the Runtime class for this. It can run any command. So, you can run the .exe file of your Web browser.
    The following code will run Internet Explorer (assuming iexplorer.exe is in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer):
    import java.lang.Runtime;
    public class Explore{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    try{
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore");
    }catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Exception: " + e);

    This should work on Windows without having to know where the browser is located. See http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip66.html for more details

            //but replacing the 'm' with '%6D' works. 
            //This fix is not needed for file requests.

  • Windows authentification while consuming web service from ABAP

    Hi All,
    We are consuming web service from ABAP, we have created client proxy in SE80 and configured logical port in LPCONFIG.
    This one was working fine. Now we have added  windows user authentification to access this service.
    Now when I'm trying to regenerate this proxy in R/3 it is asking for user and password. When I enter these details this one is not working.
    If I access this service direcly from internet explorer and I enter same user and password then I would able to access this service.
    Could you please let me know how to handle this.
    Regards
    Vikram

    The dialog that is produced by HTTP Destination object of the logical port is designed only for use within Classic Dynpro applications.  There is no prompt produced when running in Web Dynpro.  If possible assign a generic user within the logical port definition and this will be used automatically by all users.
