Urgent :Fetch Portal URL in WebDynpro code

Hi techgurus,
I want to fetch portal URL/ Portal system ID in my webdynpro code?
Please help!
Regards,
Abhishek

This is an approach we have implemented:
Login to Visual Administrator.
Go to Services > Destinations
Create HTTP Destinations for the URLs to be accessed.
Write a method containing the below code to access the same URL:
     InitialContext ctx;
     Object obj;
     DestinationService dstService;
     Destination destination;
     HTTPDestination httpDestination ;
     HttpURLConnection httpurlconnection = null;
     Properties destprop = null;
     String username = "";
     String password = "";
     try
          ctx = new InitialContext();
          obj = ctx.lookup(DestinationService.JNDI_KEY);
          dstService = (DestinationService) obj;
          List destinationList = new ArrayList();
          destinationList = dstService.getDestinationTypes();
          destination = dstService.getDestination("HTTP",<name of the HTTP url>);
          destprop = destination.getDestinationProperties();
          httpDestination = (HTTPDestination) destination;
          url = httpDestination.getUrl();
     catch(Exception ex)
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Unable to get the Webservice URL "+ex.getMessage(),true);
          ex.printStackTrace();
Hope this solves your problem.

Getting the Portal URL in the code

Hi All,
Is it possible to get the URL of the Enterprise Portal (http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal) in the web dynpro code?
Actaully i am sending mails from my application to various users and need to include the URL of the Enterprise Portal in the mail.
How to go with this? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi,
If you build the mail message from your dynpro application than you can use this code to get the server name and port:
String hostName = TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getProtocolAdapter().getServerName();
int port = TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getProtocolAdapter().getServerPort();
String url = "http://" + hostName + ":" + port + "/irj/portal";
Hope it helps,

Determine own Portal Navigation URL within WebDynpro iView?

Hello all,
we do integrate WebDynpro-Java applications in the portal. These applications do run on the same J2EE-engine as the portal (NW04).
The WebDynpro application now should be enabled to determine its own portal URL for deep navigation to this iView. We want to hand this URL over to another (non-portal) web-application. This application will then e.g. provide a back button to allow the user a consistent way back to where he left the portal.
Is there a way to get the portal URL out of the portal context if the iview is a WebDynpro application?
Thanks a lot for your answers.
Lutz

Hi,
The referer should not contain the link of the webdynpro app, rather it should contain the url of the page that called the webdynpro app. So if you have a link at http://www.google.com which points to www.bouvet.no , the referer found in the code at www.bouvet.no will have the value www.google.com (ref http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/HTRQ_Headers.html#z14) . If this is usable in your case, depends on what urls the innerpage uses, and wheter the iview frame creates an extra redirect which ruins all data.
Another possibility would be to extend the webdynpro with an iview which first retrieves the current navigation node (you should find several post on how to do this) and then redirect to the webdynpro application with an extra url parameter which you can then retrieve from the HttpRequest in hte webdynpro application. Not 100% sure it will work, and it will create some extra maintenance and complexity.

How to get password of a logged in portal user in webdynpro.

hi,
i want to get the password of the logged in portal user through webdynpro. i already know how to get the user id and other information through webdynpro (using WDClientUser), but i want to get the password as well.
this is an urgent requirement. Immediate help will be highly appreciated and points will be awarded for helpful answer.
thanks in advance.

Hi
User Management APIs don't give the liberity to obtain the password, instead you can verify a password. Please check if your requrirement can be modified to check for password.
Please use code mentioned below and the one suggested before.
loggedInUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
user = loggedInUser.getSAPUser();
if (user != null)
IUserAccount[] acct = user.getUserAccounts();
if(acct[0] != null)
b = acct[0].checkPassword(password);
Thanks

How to catch URL parameter from Portal URL in Web Dynpro iView

Hi All,
I have a web dynpro application running as a portal iView successfully. Now the client wants to make it internationalized with 7 languages. Currently they access the portal - and via role assignment they get to the portal tab with the wd iView. Now they want to send a parameter for the language key with the portal URL. So when they are typing in http://myportal.mydomain.com now they want to type in http://myportal.mydomain.com?sap-locale=de or so. My question is how can I catch this parameter in the WD application when it is running inside a portal iView? Is it at all possible?
I have written a very small application which is trying to catch a URL parameter named PARAM. The code I have written is the default one as below:
String paramValue = WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("PARAM");
When I run the application standalone and add the PARAM=something in last of the URL I can catch it. But when I create an iView and while previewing it I add the same PARAM value it is coming as null all the time. Same when I add this iView to a role and show it via role assignment in protal. Please help to let me know how to achieve this. I think if I can read the parameter value from Portal URL in the WD iView - then I can set it as the default locale of the application and then show language specific file to achieve internationalization.
Your urgent help will be highly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Shubho

Hi Shubhadip
Even if you get the parameters, how do you internationalize your application? Are you not following the standard way as described in the following link. In this case you never need to capture any such parameter. This is done by the WD runtime automatically .
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f4/d95664da179b4db731e21c2e470b72/frameset.htm">Internationalization of WD projects</a>
You can retrieve application parameters specified at the creation of iview by "adding parameters(with the same name as in iview application parameters) to the default plug of the Component Interface View of the WD application". "onDefaultPlug" method of the interface view controller you get these values as parameters, which you can save in the context node of component controller for later use.This is guaranteed to work.
But again this is not what you want exactly. You want the user to specify the value at runtime. If you have just 7 languages, you can create 7 set of iviews with different application parameter value indicating language key, and assign to 7 different set of roles, each representing one set of users with common language.
I hope you find a solution.

Hi Bharath,
> I want to get a url in the objects and attachements part of the mail. I am not able to find a way to attach a url in that part of the mail.
This issue has been already discussed earlier. Can you please check the FORUM for the same, since I feel that it is not even a week that this issue was discussed.
You can create a Container Element and Fetch the data of the URL into that. Do the Binding of that WF Container Element with the Objects and Attachments in Mail.
That might work for you, as I think you should be aware where to fetch this URL from (DB Table)..
Hope it Helps..!!

Fetching a URL from a socket output or input stream in a proxy server

We have written a proxy server in java .
It connects with a client on some local port and forwards the request of the client to main server through socket connections.
The code is as follows...
* BasicProxyServer.java
* A simple multithreaded proxy server.
* A client connects to theserver. The server starts a
* separate threads for data flow though two Sockets.
* The first socket communicates with the socket of the client.
* The second socket is used to communcate with the main server
* for which this server is a proxy. The sockets are connected by pipes.

          catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
Here,when client gives any URL in the address bar in the web browser the request is forwarded to this proxy server.
We want to fetch the URL which client enters in order to implement content filtering and also store the most visited sites by each user .
But we don't know how to fetch the URL from the socket input or output stream.
Can you suggest any suitable solution for the same??

Accessing portal roles in webdynpro for java

Hi,
Please let me know how to access portal roles in webdynpro for java.
Rgds,
Patana

Hi ,
Please use this API to access the portal roles:
IRoleFactory fact=UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
Also see this code to get more information of role using code:
IRoleFactory rolef=UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
IRoleSearchFilter searchfilterrole= rolef.getRoleSearchFilter();
ISearchResult searchResult = rolef.searchRoles(searchfilterrole);
while(searchResult.hasNext())
String unq=(String) searchResult.next();
IRole role1=rolef.getRole(unq);
String roleName = role1.getDisplayName();
String roleID = role1.getUniqueID();
// Once you get the informationof role you can use it in your application as per your requirement.
Also please note that:
You should add "com.sap.security.api.jar" to your project`s java build path for getting the Portal Security API's.
I hope this solves the problem. Please revert back incase you need any further informationon this.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello Angela,
you should find everything you need in :
- the pdk-java sample 'event form' (eventform.jsp and publicparam.jsp)
- the pdk articles
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/ARTICLES/ADDING.PARAMETERS.EVENTS.TO.PORTLETS.HTML
(explained source code of the event form sample)
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/ARTICLES/primer.portlet.parameters.events.html
(what to do in portal once your jsp-application is running)
For your jsps, you'll know how to create the events, th event's parameters, how to call the htmlFrormActionLink() method, and finally get back the params from the request.
Else, to create a link to a page, use the constructEventLink() in the EventUtils class (see API DOC deployed with JDPK on your OC4J)
Hope this helps.

Generate SAP Portal URL in ABAP

Hi all
I am faced with a task that involves fetching data from SAP E-Recruiting, and presenting it in an XML document which is indexed by a search engine. The data I extract from E-Recruiting, will be used to display a short listing of available positions in the company on an internal website.
I am able to extract the data, and present it in XML, but the following is a bit more difficult for me.
The challenge is this:
For each position I exctract from E-Recruiting, I need to find a way to generate a complete "portal style" URL. This URL will take users browsing the website, to the E-Recruiting job advertisement in the SAP portal. The SAP Portal will display the complete E-recruiting job advertisement, when the users click a "Read more" link in the short listing.
An example URL is this:
http://<i>server:port</i>/sap(bD1lbiZjPTUwOCZkPW1pbg==)/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_req_dovr/application.do?BspClient=508&BspLanguage=EN&rcfSpID=0003&PARAM=UE9TVF9IUk9CSkVDVD0wMU5DNTAwMDExNTQ%3d
I need to do this in "regular" ABAP / ABAP OO programming, not BSP or something like that. Is there some function module that will do this for me? I collect all my information from the tables HRP51* (i.e. HRP5122).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thomas K

the example url you have given is not portal url
An example URL is this:
http://server:port/sap(bD1lbiZjPTUwOCZkPW1pbg==)/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_req_dovr/application.do?BspClient=508&BspLanguage=EN&rcfSpID=0003&PARAM=UE9TVF9IUk9CSkVDVD0wMU5DNTAwMDExNTQ%3d
its a bsp url.
if you want to generate bsp url you can use the following method from your abap program
DATA: params TYPE tihttpnvp.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <wa_params> LIKE LINE OF params.
fill params table with other url parameters you want
like BspClient=508
APPEND INITIAL LINE TO params ASSIGNING <wa_params>.
    <wa_params>-name = 'BspClient'.
    <wa_params>-value = '508' .
CALL METHOD
      cl_http_ext_webapp=>create_url_for_bsp_application
      EXPORTING
        bsp_application      = 'HRRCF_REQ_DOVR'
        bsp_start_page       = 'application.do'
        bsp_start_parameters = params " other url params
      IMPORTING
        local_url            = url.
if this bsp is running inside portal as an bspiview and you want to reach this iview directly from a url then the url is different , it is basically the path of the iview in the Portal Content Directory
Hope this helps.

Retrieve portal url dynamically.

Hi,
Could anybody pls let us know how to identify the portal Url dynamically using a function module or SAP Table?
We want to put this URL in the notification e-mail so it is dynamic when the object is moved to Quality and production systems.
Thanks in advance.

One way to make Portal URL dynamic is to create a ztable with fields ABAP system id and portal URL.
Select Portal URL from this table based on the sy-sysid.
By this way you dont have to change your code. Just change table entry on each server.
Hope this helps!
