Unique session key weblogic portal 9.2

Hi,
Is there a way I can generate unique session key to ensure correct session is tracking between every desktop with different user.
Is this right way to handle session in weblogic portal 9.2?

Hi
what exactly do you want to do? A session does have an id which is guaranteed unique while the server is running (you dont need to do anything special for this). HttpSession.getId.
Note However normally this value gets stored as a cookie on the browser (with the default name of JSESSIONID) and you must ensure that different webapps on the same domain dont overwrite this value

Weblogic portal session data lost

Hi,
I have a peculiar scenario where the data set in the HttpSession gets lost intermittently. I could not really figure out a pattern where this occurs.It occurs any where in the application.
I have a session listener tied to the Session which does not get triggered when the session data is lost in this manner. This makes me to believe that the session itself is not getting killed. but only the data gets lost.
I am using Weblogic Portal Server 8.1 sp5 on UNIX server.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

Well, we use the standard authentication:
[url http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/javadoc/com/bea/p13n/security/Authentication.html#login(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)]
Hope it will work in your case. Good luck.

WebLogic Portal License Key

Hello,
I download the free trial WEbLogic Portal 4.0, I also downloaded the license key...
I placed the key in the same directory as the portal C:\bea\wlportal4.0
Than I ran the install exe. (Windows 2k --envir) and it never asked me for the
location of the license key? (as the website states)
Then I started the portal server ... and I keep getting this error:
"The WebLogic Server did not start up properly.
Exception raised: com.bea.p13n.LicenseError: No such license: WebLogic Personalization
Server 4.0, Core Server
Any Ideas?
Thanks,

Were u ever able to solve this problem?.. i am getting same error

Session Handling in Weblogic Portal 9.2

Hi All,
I have posted a strange problem that i have been facing. It was that my previously visited page was getting rendered when i used to perform some action on my current page.
I attributed this to some caching that might be happening. I want to know if every page that we visit in an application gets cached ? May be due to caching, the earlier page is getting displayed.
Are these portlets or pages getting cached in the session? Any workaround by which i can clear the cache of all the previously visited pages?

By default, the session timeout seconds is 3600, ie, an hour.
          In case you have specified weblogic-application.xml or weblogic.xml, you can add a descriptor "session-descriptor" to set session-timeout seconds.
          Here is a sample to set the timeout to 2 hours.
          file: weblogic.xml
          <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
          <weblogic-web-app xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90">
          <session-descriptor>
          <timeout-secs>7200</timeout-secs>
          </session-descriptor>
          </weblogic-web-app>
          For more detail about session descriptor, please refer to
          http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs92/webapp/weblogic_xml.html#wp1071982
          Thanks,

Weblogic Portal session related issue

Technogies Used: Java,Spring webflow and Oracle Weblog portal 10.3.2
Problem description:
In our sprint portal application,the main page has 'SSN' and 'Access code' text box fields with search button,user gave value only for SSN box and it took him to access code page with appropriate error message in child window.
After that user closed the child window and gave valid values for both 'SSN' and Access code fields,but still the same error page is getting displayed instead of valid results page.
Please advice

Hi,
Proliferation refers to the process by which changes made to the Library instance of a portal asset are pushed into user-customized instances of that asset which means that when any changes are made to the portlet in source and if you want to propagate that change to the destination, that time if that portlet is used in a desktop where many users are provided an option to customize that desktop only that particular time at destination if you change the Portal Resources Proliferation of Updates Configuration setting to either Asynchronous or off propagation will be faster because that time propagation utility will not change for each user. If the value is synchronous it changes for each user and hence some delay that too it will happen during commit operation only but not during download operation.
So I feel, Proliferation may not be useful for your case.
We need to find why downloading source is taking 3 hrs and destination is taking 8 hrs.
Please let me know whether you are running downloadsource and downloaddestination.
I suggest run downloadSource in source machine itself and downloadDestination on the destination Machine itself so that you can reduce the network latency.
Thanks & Regards,
Murali.

Thanks in advance.

First you install a JDK6 version after which you can install your WebLogic and Forms, Reports...
A step-by-step example is presented here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7265
Look in the 'Install WebLogic' section. Note that you probably do not have to create a separate user,
also you can use HotSpot instead of JRockit.

Wlst offline - create a new domain in weblogic portal 10.2

Hi,
Any one have automation script to create weblogic portal domain, create portlet data base ( not point base).and Domain resources: Machines,Servers, Clusters and data sources. I tried the one which comes with installation ( wlst offlie domain creation script), but it is just configuring weblogic server but not portal.
Thanks.
Krishna.

Announcing: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper

Just Released: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper
A supplemental developer's guide has been published to help guide WLP 10.x customers that wish to use JSF as the web framework for building portlets on WebLogic Portal. This is a sizable document (150 pages) that covers a large number of topics. It also coaches developers on best practices and common pitfalls.
Important: It also clarifies the supported configuration of JSF within Portal Web Projects. Workshop for WebLogic by default configures a web project in a configuration that is not supported by WebLogic Portal. The guide explains how to address this:
* Change from the unsupported MyFaces JSF implementation to the supported Sun Reference Implementation (RI)
* Change from the unsupported "client" STATE_SAVING_METHOD to the supported "server"
The guide can be downloaded here:

Hi Peter!
First, I wish to thank you for the great work.
We followed your whitepaper and managed to deploy a JSF portlet on WLS.
But we are not able to register it (consume it) as remote portlet in Oracle Portal 10.1.4. The error log is as follows:
An error occurred while trying to refresh the provider. (WWC-43190)
An error occurred during the call to the WSRP Provider:

Authentication in weblogic portal server 8.1 sp2 using external LDAP

Hi,
I am trying to use external LDAP for authentication.
I have configured the ActiveDirectoryAuthenticator giving the necessary
values
( and added
"-Dcom.bea.p13n.usermgmt.AuthenticationProviderName=ActiveDirectoryAuthentic
ator" in startWeblgoic.cmd )
and can see the users and the groups from my LDAP provider in the admin
console and in the admin portal's "users and groups".
A set of users are given permission to access the restricted site and those
users are visible in the global role with the permission.
The web.xml is configured for BASIC auth-method, and the role is
<externally-defined/> in weblogic.xml.
Now when I access a restricted page, I am shown a dialog prompt to key in
the username and password.
Even when I key in the valid credentials, the restricted page is not shown
and an "Unauthorized xxx" 401 access error is thrown.
Any clue, on what i am missing.?
Please let me know if any suggestion / idea.
Regards,
Arun.

Assuming your application is a WebLogic Portal application, then yes you would definitely need to install WLP 8.1. WLP version 8.1 is the only version of WLP that will run on WLS/WLW version 8.1.
In order to obtain the product installer, you'll need to contact Oracle Support and file a request. It is not available for download from any Oracle public site. Only version 10.3 is available for download.

Debugging not working in weblogic portal

When I am running my portal app built on weblogic portal 8.1, its throwing an error cannot start debugger. App might not be deployed properly.
I have redeployed 2-3 times, and its running also fine, but debugger is not working.
when the app domain starts few exceptions are thrown like,
primary key voilated,
jms connection pool could not connect
Can this be the reason?

well, from a debugging perspective, the application errors should not prevent a debugger from attaching to the VM. Can you be more specific about when you say the debugger is not starting?
Thanks

Query- IPC using JSF Portlets in WebLogic Portal

The question is how to pass data when doing InterPortlet Communication using Local JSF portlets in Weblogic Portal.
I will eloborate on the particular scenario we have below.
Two JSF portlets are build (both are not using Java Page Flows). The first porltet has a table of data. When the user clicks on one of the items in the table (which is coded using <h:commandLink/> option), the second portlet should show some details on the item clicked.
For example:
If there is a list of books in first portlet, when clicking on one of the book name, the details of book should come up in the second portlet.
To achieve this, faces event was enabled in first portlet with requestAttrPersistence option set to session.
For example :
<netuix:content>
<netuix:facesContent contentUri="/bookList.faces" requestAttrPersistence="session">
<netuix:facesEvents>
<netuix:facesEvent action="/bookDetails.faces" eventName="bookDetailEvent"/>
</netuix:facesEvents>
</netuix:facesContent>
</netuix:content>
The second portlet was configured to handle faces events, particularly the bookDetailEvent.
Example:
<netuix:handleFacesEvent eventLabel="handleFacesEvent1" eventName="bookDetailEvent" fromSelfInstanceOnly="false" onlyIfDisplayed="true" sourceDefinitionLabels="JSFPortlet_1" sourceDefinitionWildcard="this">
<netuix:invokeFacesAction action="/bookDetails.faces"/>
</netuix:handleFacesEvent>
Going by this method, how can we find the particular book whose detail has to be shown? As in JSF, we dont directly access the request attributes, what is the ideal way to pass data from one page to other?
Please help on this.

i am also having the same problem.I tried by passing _nfls=false but it didn't work.Can you suuggest where do i need to set this or any other parametrs such as this programmatically?

How to use servlets in portal web application in Weblogic Portal 4.0

We are developing a Portal Web application using Weblogic Portal 4.0 where in we
have the following scenario. one JSP in webflow of a portlet calls the PipeLine
which does some processing and calls the servlet which is having the typical download
functionality. The servlet is supposed to read the data from the pipeline session
and create a CSV String that is dumped to the client browser. The problem is even
we are doing response.setContentType("application/save") in the servlet it is
still displaying the content as html in the portlet. I guess since all our request
are send to the webflow contolling servlet and it is setting the content type
and hence our servlet is not working. How do I solve this problem? Thanks Yogesh
