Trouble creating a portal service

Hi,
We are trying to create a portal service with the DeveloperStudio (7.1) and are having lots of problems. We are creating the project with the "Portal Application Project" and then creating the service via "Portal Application Object". This worked well in the old 7.0 environment.
We can find the services via nwa and it says there that they are running but we have no indication that they have really started, because the functionality isn't be used. The logger is not being fired either.
Checking the traces we are finding strange warnings like "Web Model Builder: WEB-INF/web.xml is not Java EE 5 compatible, because of this annotations will not be processed." or "BcaClassFinder.addResources Can not open zip fileD:\usr\sap\CE1\J00\j2ee\cluster\server0\temp\deploy\work\deploying\TestServices.ear1215787665722\META-INF\sda-dd.xml it is not a valid zip archive"
We created another service without any code from us and we are still getting strange errors.
We also changed the permissions for the service to "Everyone" and this still didn't help.
Our functionality can be packed in some other sort of service - it doesn't have to a portal service. The main requirement is that the service is restarted after a server restart.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be or what sort of a service might be more appropriate?
Thanks.

How to log exceptions and imp logging info in Portal Service via ILogger?

Hi Experts,
I m trying to use ILogger for my application.
Information about my application:
I have created a Portal Service and exposed it as a Web Service which is deployed as a PAR file on to the SAP J2EE Engine.
I need to use the Logging facility of ILogger in this Portal Service.
I have written the following code in the Init() function of the Portal Service
public void init(IServiceContext serviceContext)
mm_logger = serviceContext.getLogger("com.persistent.pankaj");
I have put the logger.xml in the logger folder of PORTAL-INF
my logger.xml is as follows:
<Server>
<Logger name="testLog" loggerInterface="com.sapportals.portal.prt.logger.ILogger" locationName="com.sap.portal.testLog" pattern="%d # %20t %15s %m #" isActive="true">
<LoggerClass className="com.sapportals.portal.prt.logger.SimpleFileLogger" level="INFO">
<param filename="logs/com.persistent.pankaj.log" append="true">
</param>
</LoggerClass>
</Logger>
</Server>
On deploying my portal service as a web service
I m unable to get the logs.
I even dont know where will i get the log file, means wat is the exact location where i can check my log results
I m a newbie for this
Please help me out
Help will be rewarded n appreciated
-pankaj

Hi Pankaj,
In your init method try this code to create the logger:
ILogger logger = PortalRuntime.getLogger("testLog");
In your logger.xml the logger name was testLog and not com.persistent.pankaj so while creating logger you should use testLog in the above code.
By default all the logs are written to defaultTrace.log files, to check them read this:
Portal Runtime Logs
If you want to log in a seperate logfile then you should set a seperate log destination, which is not recommended on productive systems due to performance problems.
Also read these to know how to set seperate log destinations:

Exposing Portal Services as Web Services

Hello Portal experts,
I a newby in Portal development and I'm currently trying to write a service portal wich I want to expose as a Web Service.
I found a [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/cb213e578c0262e10000000a11466f/content.htm] wich enabled me to create a portal service and a web service (it simply contains a ping method) into a development component as indicated.
But when I'm trying to build the Project, no SDA file is generated and no error messages are displayed !?
Does someone have any clue?
Thank you

RFC Call to Portal Service

Hi
I am trying to call a Portal Service from the SAP R/3 through RFC.
I have done the following.
1. Created RFC in the SAP R/3.
2. Created RFC Destination in SAP R/3 and WAS 640
3. Created a Portal Service and deployed in the Portal.
The problem is when I execute the RFC in ABAP it is giving me this error.
com.sap.engine.services.ejb.exceptions.BaseRemoteException: Exception in method processFunction
As anyone faced similar problems, please let me know.

Hi Senthil,
If you haven't already done so, I think you should try this question in the 'ABAP Programming' forum.

Current Portal User in a Portal service

Hi,
I have created a Portal service which is exposed as a web service, serving to fetch current logged-in user in Portal.
This web service has been called from a BSP program that which is exposed on Portal as an iView.
The requirement is, when the user runs this BSP program from Portal, the program should call the Web Service and get the user who is currently using the page. This works fine except the Portal service always returns un:Guest user. I used below menthod to get the current logged in user:
public String getLoggedinUser()
            IUser sapUser = UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser();
            String uID = sapUser.getUniqueID();
            String[] users = uID.split("\\.");
            return users[users.length - 1];
I checked for existing solutions in the forum but they work for a Portal component. How can I achieve the desired result using a Portal Service or otherwise ? Please help.
Thanks,
Aditya.

Hi Aditya,
Try below code -
String _pmfKey = null;
IPortalComponentRequest componentRequest =(IPortalComponentRequest) getRequest();
IUserFactory userFactory = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
IUser myUser =userFactory.getUser(componentRequest.getUser().getUniqueID());
_pmfKey = myUser.getName();

Which SharingReference I need to add at a portal service for these packages

Hello,
I have written a portal service, not at the Dynpro, environment which uses these imports:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDNode;
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDNodeElement;
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.url.api.IWDCachedWebResource;
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.url.api.WDURLException;
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.url.api.WDWebResource;
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.url.api.WDWebResourceType;
Which SharingReference do I need to add in order for this to be recognized from the service?

Hello Valery and Maksim,
I am familiar with this post yet I have two problems that it doesn't solve:
1. The reason we are not migrating from Local Dynpro projects to DCs is because of language issues currently handled by SAP. Our GUI is written in Hebrew and at the migration process all the text appearing on the GUI simply vanishes. So, at the moment let's assume we are working with Local Dynpro projects and not DCs.
2. The second problem we are facing involves from the first one: Since we are not working with DCs yet and since SAP doesn't support local Dynpro projects at the DTR, CBS, CMS even if I will develop such DC it will stay locally and I will be able to use it only from projects at my workspace, other developers won't be able to share it.
So, at the moment, even if creating a portal service is not the best solution it is the only temporary solution I see right now, unless you have other suggestions...

Question regarding implementation of Portal Service

Hello,
I want to create a portal service that calls our R/3 system and comes back with customer master data. For that I have to hand over the userid to the portal service.
The Interface looks like that:
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.IService;
import com.lgs.model.CustomerDataBean;
public interface IR3CustDataService extends IService
    public static final String KEY = "R3CustDataService";
    // returns an object with all customer master data from R/3
     public CustomerDataBean getCustomerData(String userid);
The implementation of the method in the corresponding class is:
CustomerDataBean cdb = new CustomerDataBean();
public CustomerDataBean getCustomerData(String userid) {
          return cdb;
Now I would implement the program logic (accessing R/3 and fill the CustomerDataBean) in the init method of the portal service class.
public void init(IServiceContext serviceContext) {
                mm_serviceContext = serviceContext;
                implementation of program logic, usage of userid necessary
My question is now how I can use the String userid in the init method? How can I hand over the userid to the init method so that I can use it?
Any hint is really appreciated!
Thanks a lot.

Access Portal Services within Web Dynpro

Hi,
I created a portal service and would like that some values of the same have to be set by a Web Dynpro application, but i have a problem to access this
service. Always that a i try to get a reference of this service the object isn't instantiated and i get a null instantiated.
What i`m trying to do is the broadcast message described in [/people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/04/28/brodcast-messages-to-logged-on-users-in-portalpart1 |/people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/04/28/brodcast-messages-to-logged-on-users-in-portalpart1]with a variation that need of some
more Attributes and that the same will be pass by the Web Dynpro, like the broadcast message i`ll just use the alert concept and don't the publication.
Follow below the describe of executed actions.
1 - I did all the process as the [Weblog|/people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/04/28/brodcast-messages-to-logged-on-users-in-portalpart1].
2 - I generated the Jar and insert the same in a DC.
3 - I generated the Web Dynpro application, in the used DCs and added the DC with the Jar, and i inserted the reference in a Sharing References.
4 - Did the deploy and insert the Web Dynpro in a Portal Iview.
But always that i execute, i can't capture the reference of the service.
Note: The reference in Sharing References was executed for several diferents forms of test, like for exemple:
PORTAL:<vendor>/com.teste.broadcast
PORTAL:com.teste.broadcast
PORTAL:<vendor>/com.teste.broadcast.alertreceiver
PORTAL:com.teste.broadcast.alertreceiver
But always adding one at a time.
Until put the saller like sap.com i already try.
The creation of the service as described in the weblog can be accessed for a Web Dynpro? What the problem to access the Service??
The codes follow Bellow.
portalapp.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I am trying to call a Portal Service from within a Web Dynpro development component without sucess.
Can anyone give me some hints on the necessary steps in order to accomplish this task?
Thanks
Diz

Hi Diz,
I tried doing the same thing by following the steps as mentioned by you. Just to re iterate,
1. Created a DC "Portal Application Standalone" project by the name myservice.
2. Created a portal service inside myservice by the ame AmitsService.
3. Exposed IAmitsService.class in the public part.
4 Build and deployed the DC on server and tested it through an abstract portal component and it worked FINE !!
Now..
5. Created anoter DC of type WebDynPro
6. Added SAP_JTECHS -> epbc.prtapi._api as a "Used DC" with dependency build time and runtime
7. Specified the sharing reference in the properties as PORTAL:sap.com/myservice
8. Tried to reference the service using the following code..
IAmitsService portalservice=(IAmitsService)WDPortalUtils.getServiceReference(IAmitsService.KEY);
9.Build and deployed the DC.
10. When I run the application I am getting the following error
Processing HTTP request to servlet [dispatcher] finished with error.
The error is: com.sap.engine.frame.core.load.SAPNoClassDefFoundError: com/sapportals/portal/prt/service/IService
