What is Abstract Portal Component?

Hi Experts,
Can anyone explain me the meaning of an Abstract Portal Component? What are the cases required to implement it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vinay,
The Abstract Portal Component is a class that offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. The programming effort is therefore greater for larger, interactive components.
you can understand by seeing the below links

Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
Thanks,
Jay.

Hi,
The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
Abstract Portal Component
The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
DynPage
The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
For more details, Refer thes thread,

Problem accessing webservice from abstract portal component

Hi,
I have created a webservice from a portal service. So i have created one more portal application to accessing that web service. In that, i have done the following:
-> Portal Service from Wsdl file - Client Side
-> I have entered the Wsdl file name as, the location of the WebService
-> I have selected the methods what i want to use in my application
-> Finally i have given my ServiceName, Alias and Package as well.
-> I have created one application object (Abstract Portal Component) to access the Web Service.
-> Inside that AbstractPortalComponent, i have written the coding to access the methods.
-> I have created one system with System Alias, i used this Alias name in my portalapp.xml
While running it shows the error as,

POrtal application object - Abstract Portal Component, Location dropdown.

Hi
I am creating a Portal application project in NWDS.
Inside this project I am creating a POrtal application object -> Abstract Portal Component.
Now, there is a dialigue box which appears, prompting for object name and package.
In the same dialogue box there is an additional dropdown box for Location.
It has two values "api" and "core".
What does these mean.
Thanks

The location of the new Java class file determines whether other applications can reference the classes. Generally, the choice is only meaningful when defining services and the interfaces to make available to those applications the reference the service.
You can specify one of the following:
■ Core (default): Places the file in the src.core project directory, and makes it private.
■ API: Places the file in the src.api, and makes it public.

Event Handling in Abstract Portal Component

Hi Friends,
I am using HTMLB Classlib in an Abstract Portal Component to develop a Dropdownlistbox. Now I want to handle the event of change of selection in this dropdown. However, this event is not getting captured. Sample code is as follows:
public class dropdownsimple extends AbstractPortalComponent
                       public void onClick(Event event)
                       public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
                                                IPageContext myContext1 = PageContextFactory.createPageContext(request, response);
          Form myForm = myContext1.createFormDocument("CRMForm");
          GridLayout myGrid = new GridLayout();
          DropdownListBox drp = new DropdownListBox("drp");
          drp.addItem("Key 1","Item 1");
          drp.addItem("Key 2","Item 2");
          drp.setOnSelect("onClick");
                                                 myGrid.addComponent(1, 1, drp);
          myForm.addComponent(myGrid);
          myContext1.render();
I am able to see the dropdown box along with values when I preview the PAR iView created from this component. Please let me know how to capture the event of change of selection in the dropdown?
Edited by: Shetul Chothani on Jun 21, 2011 6:37 AM

Hi,
Change this line
drp.setOnSelect("onClick");
to
drp.setOnSelect("click");
and leave the line
public void onClick(Event event)
as it is, and it should work just fine.
I.e., if you name your event "fooBar", the event handler should be named "onFooBar"

Robin

Reading Session Variables in Abstract Portal Component/ JSP Dynpage or Java

Hi All,
I have a web dynpro for Java component which passes parameters in a session and also navigates to a Java application.
Now when I try to read the session parameters in the Java application (JSPDynpage or Abstract Portal Component) I cannot retrieve the values.
Can someone throw light on how I can achieve this within a Java application.
Code is as enclosed below -
WD for Java Code
public void onActionClicked(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionClicked(ServerEvent)
IClientSession session = Utils.getCurrentClientSession();
IScope scope = session.getScope();
scope.put("TestSession", wdContext.currentContextElement().getTxtValue());
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
"ROLES:portal_content/com.be.pct.cr.Test/DynProToNet",
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
(String)null,
(String)null,
WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
(String)null,
(String)null,
(String)null);
    //@@end
Code within the Abstract Portal Component doContent method is -
IPortalComponentSession ses;
ses = request.getComponentSession();
String TestSession = new String();
String sTest = new String();
String sTesting = new String();
if(ses.getValue("TestSession")!= null){
TestSession = ses.getValue("TestSession").toString();
if(request.getParameter("TestSession")!= null){
sTest = request.getParameter("TestSession");
if( request.getValue("TestSession")!= null)
sTesting = request.getValue("TestSession").toString();
response.write("Display"TestSessionsTest+sTesting);
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Divya

Hi,
Why not use eventing between webdynpro and portal applications? That would be more easy. Check these documents.

Abstract Portal component - KM Html

Hi,
We are developing an external facing portal wherein the Home page has 6 components. In that 5 components are static components which refer to the HTML file in the KM repository. For that I have made KM document iview and given the path of the HTML file.
But as it is an internet page and as its loading time should be less, we planned to make each component as an abstract portal component which refers the HTML file in the KM and displays the same.
Can somebody tell me as to go about it?

Yes Asusha
You can use JSP , JSPDyn pages in Abstract portal component.
You can call a Jsp file from the abstract portal component.
    public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
     com.sapportals.portal.prt.resource.IResource somePage =
               request.getResource("jsp", "pagelet/test.jsp");
               response.include(request, somePage);
Then you can made your desired UI in JSP.
Hope this helps..

When you say submit do you mean HTMLB submit or a normal HTML form submit? If it's the latter, you just need an action on your form...
<form action="jspfile2.jsp">

Use WebDynpro JCO Destination in Abstract Portal Component

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to use a WebDynpro JCo Destination in an Abstract Portal Component? I have a portal component that make as JCO call to run an rfc. I get the MYSAPSSO2 ticket from the cookie and pass this in to the JCO client. This works fine. Now I need to be able to run this for anonymous users as well. I was hoping to be able to retrieve a WebDynpro JCo destination that is set up as a userid/password type and use this to make the connection to run my RFC. This way I could avoid having to store the userid and password somewhere and encrypt/decrypt it etc...
Thanks,
Bert

Hi Nari,
Follow the below steps:
1. Store your properties files (test.properties, test_en.properties, test_xx.properties where xx is the locale ) in the folder PORTAL-INF ->Private ->classes
2. In portalapp.xml for component-config, add this
<property name="ResourceBundleName" value="test"/>
3. In your abstract portal component you can use the below code to fetch the value for the key "SERVER_NAME".
 public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
 ResourceBundle resourceBundle = request.getResourceBundle();
 if(resourceBundle!=null)
 response.write(resourceBundle.getString("SERVER_NAME"));
 else
 response.write("Error");
Let me know if you still face any issue.
Thanks

Page Imports in Abstract Portal Component

Hi,
I have created an abstract portal component where I have called a JSP using IResource.
The JSP is called and displayed.
<%@ page import = "java.util.*;" %>
<%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.*;" %>
<html>
<body>
hello
</body>
</html>
In my JSP the moment I add the second import i.e. prt.runtime, it throws an error when I run the application:
Error when rendering jsp.
Am I missing out something?

Hi Prem,
Add that particular jar file in the lib folder of your application and also add it to the build path of your project properties.
Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries
Add to this build path as well.
I hope this helps you.!!

Pravesh
