Web Clipping Provider Configuration problem

Hi,
I have installed the PDKv2 and deployed it using the OC4J OEM steps. I have installed Portal Tools also, the test page is working.
I want to configure the web clipping provider, I click on the link "Web Clipping Provider" and I get this message:
"500 Internal Server Error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Only java.io.Serializable, javax.ejb.EJBObject and javax.ejb.EJBHome instances can be bound to a session in a distributable web-application, not: oracle.portal.provider.v2.http.DefaultProviderLoader@136a26f (class oracle.portal.provider.v2.http.DefaultProviderLoader) at com.evermind.server.http.EvermindHttpSession.setAttribute(EvermindHttpSession.java:97) at oracle.portal.wcs.provider.WcProviderAdapter.showTestPage(WcProviderAdapter.java:74) at oracle.webdb.provider.v2.adapter.soapV1.ProviderAdapter.handleHttp(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor64.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at oracle.webdb.provider.v2.adapter.SOAPServlet.doHTTPCall(Unknown Source) at oracle.webdb.provider.v2.adapter.SOAPServlet.service(Unknown Source) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at com.evermind.server.http.ServletRequestDispatcher.invoke(ServletRequestDispatcher.java:765) at com.evermind.server.http.ServletRequestDispatcher.forwardInternal(ServletRequestDispatcher.java:317) at com.evermind.server.http.HttpRequestHandler.processRequest(HttpRequestHandler.java:790) at com.evermind.server.http.AJPRequestHandler.run(AJPRequestHandler.java:208) at com.evermind.server.http.AJPRequestHandler.run(AJPRequestHandler.java:125) at com.evermind.util.ReleasableResourcePooledExecutor$MyWorker.run(ReleasableResourcePooledExecutor.java:192) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534) "

FYI, since forums changed, my reply is now at:

Web application through web clipping portlet configured through SSO

I have followed the steps in the below URL in integrating the external application with SSO configuration.
http://MKD-164540.wipro.com:7778/portalTools/webClipping/providers/webClipping
After adding the web clipping portlet to the portal page it is giving the below message.
User authentication failed. Please use the following link to update the information.
Update login information.
Navigating to "Update login information. " link showing to enter the log in and password details.I am confused which log in details I have to submit here. I have tried my AD credentials and application login details. Its not working anything.
If anybody have any idea on this, Please help me.

Either the login information is not correct (it explains it should not be domain\username but just username) or the authentication format from your Microsoft proxy server (Kerberos?) is not compatible with the Web Clipping portlet. You might get a better reply in the Portal forum about supported proxy authentication methods for the WebClipping portlet.

Web Clipping portlet and https

We have an external ASP application that requires HTTPS authentication. We want to pull the application into portal via a Web Clipping portlet.
However when we try start up web clipping studio with the https url we get the following error:
'WCS-517 -- SSL handshake failed for HTTPS connection to URL https://icwwwd.cc.ic.ac.uk/spectrum/ict/services/software/shop/downloads/SoftwareShop.asp by method get'
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to use the web clipping portlet to access a secure page?
2. If so does anyone know why we are getting this error?
3. Assuming we can, how do we get portal to automatically log on to the application via https so users do not have to login twice i.e. once into portal and once into the asp application?
Thanks
Andrew

Here is a more complete answer, cut and paste from the Oracle9iAS Portal Web Clipping Portlet Users and Administrators Guide at
http://portalcenter.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/DOCTEAM/WEBCLIPPING/WEBCLIPV9025.PDF
5.3 Configuring Security
When a user navigates to a secure site, the Web site typically returns a
certificate identifying itself to the user when giving secure information. If
the user accepts the certificate, the certificate is placed into the list of trusted
certificates of the browser so that a secure channel can be opened between
the browser and that server. Like aWeb browser, theWeb Clipping Provider
behaves as an HTTP client to external Web sites. In order for the Web
Clipping Provider to keep track of trusted sites, it makes use of a file that
stores the certificates of those sites, namely the ca-bundle.crt file.
The shipped ca-bundle.txt is an exported version of the trusted server
certificate file from OracleWallet Manager (OWM). The default trusted
server certificate in OWM does not cover all possible server certificates that
exist on theWeb. For this reason, when a user navigates to a secure server
using HTTPS, the user may get an "SSL Hand-shake failed" exception in the
Web Clipping Studio. To solve this problem, the ca-bundle.crt file
needs to be augmented with new trusted sites that are visited. As a Portal
Administrator, you must do the following to extend the shipped
ca-bundle.crt file:
1. Use a browser (preferably Internet Explorer) to download the root
server certificate from each external HTTPSWeb site in BASE64 format
that is visited, and is missing from the trusted certificate file.
2. Use Oracle Wallet Manager (OWM) to import each certificate.
3. Export the trusted server certificates into a file and replace the
ca-bundle.crt file with that file.
For more information about Oracle Wallet Manager, see Chapter 17 "Using
Oracle Wallet Manager" in Oracle Advanced Security Administrators Guide in
the Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2) documentation section on the Oracle
Technology Network (OTN) (http://otn.oracle.com).
=============
So, if you have another certificate authority that you need to add, i.e., DOD certs, etc., you must follow the instructions above.

Problem with Web Clipping and External Application

When I use Web clipping with INLINE rendering on usual sites I can move under links, not leaving a portal.
But if I try to make it via the self-made provider with External Application then links do not work.
I press them and it appear in the same place!
Authorization via External Application passes successfully, that is the page is displayed correctly.
But links do not work.
In what there can be a problem?
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

In order to prevent some urls and internal websites from being cached use url bypassing. This way these urls will not be cached and the users can directly use them without being asked to log in.
To enable transparent error handling and dynamic authentication bypass, and to configure static bypass lists, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the bypass feature, use the no form of the command.

Why can't I launch another app using a URL scheme in a web clip set up through Configurator with the "full screen app" option selected?

My company uses web clips on iOS devices, set up through profiles on Configurator, for EVERYTHING. Most of these web clips have a transfer function on the site that allows the user to bring up other apps, like directions to a destination in Google Maps for instance (a URL scheme.) If the option for the web clip to appear as a "full screen app" is selected in Configurator (or iPhone Configuration Utility), this fuction does not work on devices that are running iOS 7. It is imparative to our company that the web clips be full page so there is no address bar, back button, etc. for the users to access. With this feature not working, I have 50+ iOS devices that are usless to us.
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip--> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
Somebody, please help!

Phil, I have been trying to figure out a solution to this problem since iOS 7 came out. In hindsight, I should have downloaded the beta versions of the iOS so I would have had even more time. I have talked with quite a few different developers and up until today it was a consensus that this was a "feature" of iOS in an attempt by Apple to diminish the use of webapps. Now most of these people wouldn't be considered apple apologists by any stretch, which could have contributed to their pessimism. That being said, today I finally received some news that could give us a glimmer of hope. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone today being sent "up the ladder" until I think I found the right person to help (I'm not complaining; I was surprised at how competent and helpful each person that I spoke with was, and I didn't have to explain the situation over and over again.) I think what took so long finding the right person to speak with was that this isn't an issue that any type of troubleshooting would fix. It's not an iPad, iPhone, or even an Apple Configurator issue; it's actually a bug in iOS 7. Anyways, the senior engineer that I spoke with reassured me, very adamantly, that this was not a feature of the new operating system and most definitely a bug. He said that they take webapps very seriously and are actually looking for ways to improve how webapps work on iOS devices and how they are used with Mobile Device Management software, like Configurator. I was a little concerned that he said this was the first he or anyone on his team has heard about this problem, but he did work extensively with me today and said that it looks to be a major issue, and something that he and his team are going to try to figure out as soon as possible. He said he would be calling me by Tuesday with information on how and when this will be fixed. Jon

Widget Problem - Web Clip using Java Fails

I installed the Snow Leopard upgrade on my iMac yesterday. Since then, any Java web clips I had in Dashboard prior to the upgrade no longer work. I tried removing them and adding them back, but it didn't help. The Java clips work when accessed directly from Safari. They just don't load when accessed from Dashboard.
When the web clip tries to load if I click on the error's details, I get the following:

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

HI,
The most recent Software Update might help this unless you have already downloaded and installed it.
Go to the Apple Menu/Software Updates. If you don't have the Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 1 installed the Software Update utility will download and install for you.
This update just became available yesterday.
You may also need to Trash and Dashboard preference file.
com.apple.dashboard.plist
~/Library/Preferences. Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

Error in registering a provider for External Application for Web Clipping

Getting Error: The provider URL specified may be wrong or the provider is not running. (WWC-43176)
when trying to register a provider for an external application for Web Clipping

Hi Vineet,
The admins applied a patch to my version of the OracleAS 10g Version 9.0.4. and now I able to register a provider with the same URL but different Provider Name. I added My Yahoo Web Clipping from the Portlet Staging Area. That works fine but when I click on the check mail link in the Web Clipping Studio it gives me the following error. I have tried several times and I get the same error....

Web clip problem after Safari 4

I get problems with Safari web clip as dashboard widget after switching to Safari 4. The widget window size changes and the update of its contents fails. Any fix?

I have the same issue. I have a Mac Pro w/ 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Xeon 8GB Ram. So I don't think its a resource issue. I have a bunch of web clips on my dashboard. When I open the dashboard random ones will show only black. If I close and reopen those that were black might load and others will be all black. The issue didn't arise until I upgraded from Safari 3 to Safari 4. FYI- I tried recreating all of the webclips with Safari 4 just incase the issue was that they were originally created with Safari 3, but I still have the same problem. The clips are from all sorts of sites with a wide range of complexity. They all are affected at one point or another.
Any help would be appreciated, this is pretty annoying and begins to make me feel like I'm back on a PC.

Dashboard Web Clip Problems

I have no problem creating web clips for dashboard and following their creation they appear in Dashboard and look fine.
The problem is that if I restart the computer or turn it off or log off and switch users, then when I return half or more of my dashboard web clips do not appear and give me this message ‘Web Clip was made using Safari’s ‘Open in Dashboard Feature’, open Safari”.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it besides recreating the dashboard web clip?

Anyone help us out here?
I haven't had a clip work yet, although I've only tried 5 or so. It is not a great incentive to try more when none of them work. ::grin::
I get the "Web clip was made...." message on all my clips.
Thanks. Joel.

Question about setting a web clip in Apple Configurator, to by-pass touching Free and Install App.

Hello.
I'm using Apple Configurator, and have a web clip linked to iTunes Preview webpage for an app.
On the iTunes Preview page, you can touch Free, then Install App.
Am I able to by-pass touching Free and Install App?
That way, the end user touches the icon, and it directs them to Sign In using Existing or Create ID.
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you,
Jeremy

Hi,
You can only enter one code per iTunes account for the same app. So if you were not to use Configurator, you would enter one code into iTunes and sync the all the iPads to that iTunes account manually keeping track of your codes for any audit purposes. You could create a backup and restore to each of the iPads. I use encrypted backup. I have only used Configurator at this time to update iOS, it works very well for that and cuts down on update time greatly. I am leery of configurator with VPP because of all of the issues posted. I would have used VPP/Configurator exactly as you had stated.
I thought from your post you were able to get all of your apps loaded except for the two that were greyed out. I was curious if you would be able to go into the App store on the one iPad that did not get the two apps because they were grayed out and sign in to the apple ID where those two apps resided ( the iTunes account you used for Configurator) and download them. I am not sure if once you associate an iTunes account to Configurator if that marks the paid apps in itunes so they can not be used. I think that it would not.
I would also call the Apple Store support for Education. They may be able to help and or they will know your area rep.
Good luck, Please post your outcome, I am sure there are many who would benefit.

Web Clip Problem

Whenever I try to create a Web Clip, the bottom of it gets cut off. I believe it is because of the purple bar that comes down. When I select the area, the purple bar moves up and drags the selection up with it, cutting off the bottom. Any Ideas?
Here is an example of a Web Clip I am trying to make. I try to select the whole picture, but notice how the time stamp gets cut off: http://www.catamountski.com/mountain/camshots/cam2.jpg

Perhaps you can compensate for it by making the size of the webclip a little bigger at the bottom? I'm sure this is a bug, and you can report it to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Either the login information is not correct (it explains it should not be domain\username but just username) or the authentication format from your Microsoft proxy server (Kerberos?) is not compatible with the Web Clipping portlet. You might get a better reply in the Portal forum about supported proxy authentication methods for the WebClipping portlet.

Hi,
Are you using proxy server? if yes you have to configure it, or it is problem with your provider.xml file. Can you past the code from provider.xml related to proxy setting?
I have resolved this issue by follow following technique, Look this code from provider.xml
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.ProxyInformation">

<proxyUseAuth></proxyUseAuth>
<proxyType></proxyType>
<proxyRealm></proxyRealm>
<proxyUseGlobal></proxyUseGlobal>
<proxyUser></proxyUser>
</proxyInfo>
commented first three tags and removed value from remaining tags.
Just try with that, Hope this will solve your problem

Web Clipping - no install link displayed

I try to install/configure WebClipping portlet on a stand-alone OC4J instance. Duing the provider configuration stage I run into the problem that my database schema does not contain the proper objects ("The Provider is not configured correctly. It has been detected that the schema provided contains tables that conflict with the required tables. Please change the schema information by configuring it appropriately in the Provider Configuration section below.")
The target schema is PORTAL, in the 9.0.2 release.
The Install link that is promised in the configuration document ("Otherwise, an Install link displays next to the status of the Web Clipping Repository on the Test Page. You can click it to dynamically install the required schema tables into the user that you provided earlier. ") does not appear. I do not seem to have the option to install the database objects required for the WebClipping repository. What can I do - other than upgrading to 9.0.4?
Thanks,
Lucas Jellema (AMIS)
