Web Dynpro & Adobe Forms: Context Mapping

Hi Experts,
By assigning a form to a view via templateSource the option to automatically generate context. With sample data, implemented in the view its working fine.
Now I want to use data out of the component controllers' context, but I can't map the views context nodes to the component controller nodes without deleting the context structure out of the form.
In other words; how can I connect the automatically generated context from the form with the context of the component controller?
How can I solve this issue?
An option is to read out the component controllers context into itabs and save them in the views context.......
not very nice, but my only idea right now.
Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

Hi again,
I've found this [documentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/63a47dd9-0b01-0010-3d8e-de27242bf011?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true], chapter "Integrating a PDF in a Web Dynpro Application" (Page 192-193) and followed the print scenario.
My intention is not to create an interactive form. I just want to display a generated pdf which is provided with data out of web dynpro context.
That's what I did:
In my views' layout tab in properties list I've entered a (not existing) form name (as templateSource) to create a new form. Then double cklicked on it to create it, entered a interface name (which was not existing also) and selected a context (the context was mapped before out of the component controller). Then se80 switched to form builder. The context nodes are available so I dragged some into the form, save & activate.
The result is, the dragged fields are visible, but there are no values assigned, the corresponding fields are empty.
I checked whether the context nodes are filled --> they are....
Any idea what's going wrong?

Hello Markus,
let's say I have two systems. One - X - installed J2EE+ABAP and configured WD pdfobject WS proxy to point to second system - Y - with correctly configured ADS (inculding Redaer Rights Credential). Do I have to setup this Reader Rights Credentila also on system X ?? Do I have to setup something else on system X to work with Interactive forms in WD Java on system X ?
PS: Our ABAP calls from X to ADS on Y are working okay, but I didn't try WD ABAP as basis is too low.
Thanx, Richard.

Web dynpro + adobe form decimal field round off

hello all,
I am now developing an application which is based on the SAP WebDynpro and Adobe form, but the application has an error, if one can help me to resolve the error, I will be very thankful.
The error is as follows, for a decimal filed on the Adobe form which is binded to a deicmal attribute of Webdynpro, if I get the value of the decimal field using the programming code as "context.nodexx.getAttribute("xx")", the decimal value is rounded off (e.g., 2.4 is changed to 2.0, 2.7 is changed to 3.0).
for example:In Web Dynpro, A node name is "TestNode" which has a type of decimalattribute named "TestAttr" , in adobe form a decimal field bind to the TestAttr . when i input 2.3 in adobe form, i click the button with code:
this.wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager.reportSuccess(this.wdContext.nodeTestNode.getTestAttr()+"");
the rusult is : 2.0
if i input the value 2.5 the result will be 3.0
Thanks All !

Hi,
there is a special display pattern to check for null values:
null{pattern}
Example:
null{'please enter a value'}
But I don't know if WDJ is really sending a null value. You can combine this with alternatives using '|' to separate alternatives.

I am a student SAP from Belgium.
I am currenty developping an application and I am using BSP's, Web Dynpro's, Interactive Forms and Flex.
I have a good idea regarding to what the possibilities are of each User Interface, but I would like your opinions:
What are the main advantages/disadvantages of each of the named User Interfaces?
So what's good/not good about BSP, Web Dynpro, Interactive Forms, Flex?
What's the easiest to code, to make a layout,....
I know, according to the sitiuation, you can choose which UI to use, but I would really like to know what your opinions are about coding, easy-to-use, speed, logic,... (PRO/CONTRA'S)
Thanks a lot for your input, it would really help me!
Greetings,

Hi Mahamed,
I got your problem. You have not done anything wrong.
It is WebAS version which is not supported for this functionality.
But there is solution to this problem
Please refer to the SAP Note number - 1055738.
I think you will get the answer and the scenario described there will match your requirement.
This is a know issues with WebDypro ABAP but this works fine for Java Web Dynpro.
I have also tried for 2 months but finally came to know about it.

Web Dynpro & Adobe Interactive Forms - how to update the context node

Hi Experts,
I got a WD Component with some context nodes that are mapped to some views and are filled in this views. These context nodes are the dataSource for the Interactive Forms. These forms are embedded in a view by UIElement Interactive Forms.
My problem is, everytime when I change the structure of the context nodes (i.e. there's an additional attribute necessary), I have to design new forms to get the context nodes linked to the form. My existing forms cannot handle updated context nodes.
The change in the context node is displayed on web dynpro side, in the dataSource view in UIElement property. But in TA sfp there is the old context node structure displayed without any change (i.e. in number of attributes).
My forms' layout type is ZCI Layout the interface is based on XML.
How can I easily update the forms' context node structure without creating new forms every time?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

ok, got it.
by double clicking on templateSource in UIElement properties the interface can be updated.

Sending java web dynpro interactive form as pdf attachment from Business WF

Hi,
I have a java web dynpro application with interactive form(online), on send button click i need to send the filled form as an PDF attchment to internet mail id. I am using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 inside workflow to send attachment. My custom RFC which is interacting with WD app is getting the pdf source context attribute(simply i set the import parameter with that attribute and no juggling is done) as import parameter which is of type XTSRING. Once i execute the application i am getting mail with attachment as pdf but i am not able to open the pdf. It is of just 1 KB size. It seems my pdf source context attribute is not sending data. Can some one suggest how can i solve this.DO i need to convert the data to pdf format before sending or any otgher thing i need to do.
Regards
Ravindra

I did that before posting the question itself (enables = false), it doesn't work. It just disable the extra features like digital signature and stuff. Interesting thing is all our HCM forms developed for HR actions works fine with out any issues. Why the interactive form developed with WDJ is not working and it requires credentials??. The same form works fine if I deploy the application directly into server but it throws the error if I check in through NWDI ..
If you look at the server location it has the file but it throws the error:
Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: IOException occured while creating template stream from the TemplateSource : .\temp\webdynpro\public\sap.com\ess~ben\webdynpro\Components\com.sap.xss.hr.ben.reviewtable.VcBenefitsReviewTable\ReviewTableView_InteractiveForm_Review.xdp (The system cannot find the file specified)
Please advise.
Thank You,

How to import an xdp-File to Web Dynpro Interactive Forms

Hi Experts
I am working with Web Dynpro and Interactive Form. With Adobe Lifecycle Designer I do an import of an MS Word-Document and convert it to the XDP-Format. How do I import this XDP-File into an Interactive Form inside Web Dynpro? The form shouldn't be created with Web Dynpro. So far, what I did was creating an empty form from within Web Dynpro and overwriting it with my xdp-File. But this doesn't seem to be a secure and robust solution. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for helping
Kind regards
Bettina Hepp

Hi Bettina,
I can understand what problem you are facing.
Please follow these steps and let me know if it has solved your problem or not
1. Open the XDP file in Adobe Life Cycle Designer and go to File Menu ->Save As ->
Save the file as PDF.
2. NWDS Webdynpro Edit the interactive form and now you can import the same PDF file.
This will solve your problem and let me know if you are facing any other issue.

Zebra printing in web dynpro/Adobe

Hello,
We have zebra label print designs in place (we dont want to design using adobe designer). Now we would like to enable subcontractors to print them online using web dynpro/Portal.
1. one way I identified is send the zebra spool as a file and save it in the local disks and print it using zebra printer.
Whats the better and efficient way to approach? How everybody is doing this?. Doesnt SAP have any solutions?.
Thanks ,
Raj.

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe comes with ABAP backend print support for Zebra label printers.
However, as with all backend printing the required output formats are placed in the spool. To my knowledge, there is no standard SAP way to make these spool-based formats available for print in a Web Dynpro application. In addition, note that in the ABAP backend SAP doesn't print from the PDF, which for these processes has only got a preview function. Depending on the scenario, printing is done from PS, PCL or ZPL through the corresponding SAP device types.

Calling a new Browser Window from Web Dynpro Application - Empty Context

Hello,
I want to open a view in a new browser window, and followed the same way which is described in this thread:
Open view in new browser window
My first try was creating two applications, which refer to the same Component Controller. The opening of a new browser window is triggered by an action, which is called in the other application. As both applications have the same Component Controller, I thought, the context content has to be the same, but actually the context attributes are empty after opening of the new window.
In my second try I created two applications with two different Component Controllers, mapped via embedded Interface Controller. The effect is the same - I have no context content in the view.
Please, can anybody help me?
Thank you in advance.
Ilona Seifert

I done something like this:
[code]
try {
strURL =
 WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(
 "$PROJECT_PATH$/$PROJECT_NAME$",
 "$APPLIC_NAME$");
} catch (WDURLException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
strURL += "?par1=";
strURL += var1;
strURL += "&par2=";
strURL += var2;
strURL += "&par3=";
strURL += var3;
[/code]
and after i retrieve them:
[code]
Var1Value= WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("var1");
[/code]

Handling RAW data types (from SAP) in Adobe forms - Illegal Arg Exception

Hi,
I have a scenario where I have to get data of type RAW in SAP to Adobe Forms using web dynpro java. What is the corresponding type in Web Dynpro / Adobe Forms.
I am using Adaptive RFC and when I get the model from SAP function module, the RAW type is created as Binary type in the data dictionary of Web Dynpro.
When I map the model context to controller context, the type is taken as byte[].
I tried to set the attribute for this field and I got the Illegal Argument Exception error.
I am using NWDS 7.0.9 and NW04s SP12. Pl help. I am working on this since 10 days but could get no solution.
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeBinary.format(DdTypeBinary.java:60)
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeBinary.toString(DdTypeBinary.java:64)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.data.DataContainer.doFormat(DataContainer.java:1405)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.data.DataContainer.getAndFormat(DataContainer.java:1098)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.xdp.renderer.data.XfdRenderer.renderAttributes(XfdRenderer.java:370)
... 41 more

Issue with the RAW data types is resolved now. I have changed the data type of the field into String in the dictionary (web dynpro).. I have changed the corresponding getters and setter functions from byte[] to string. And everything working fine now. I got the Illegal Argument exception initially because I was trying to display the binary data type fields on the adobe form or view which I am not supposed to do.
Also it is better to create separate view attributes in the context to get the values rather than mapping the model attributes directly in the form or view.
Thank you one and all.
