Web Clipping problem

Fri, 26 Jan 2007 12:06:09 PST

We're trying to integrate an asp.net application into a web clipping
portlet. There are a number of dynamic web pages and forms in this
asp.net application.

We've done some initial work and have been successful in bringing pages
from the asp.net application into the clipping portlet but have noticed
an anomaly when submitting the forms.

When the asp.net form is submitted, the portlet sends the request over
to the asp.net server, which processes the request and sends a
response. We can see that the request is being sent properly to the
asp.net server because we can watch the request being processed in the
debugger. So we know that the URL rewriting is working properly.
However, after the response is sent to the web clipping portlet, the
browser page refreshes and the clipping portlet is empty.

We did some testing and found that this problem only occurs when the
asp.net form is set to use method="POST". If we switch it to
method="GET", it works properly and the response from the posted form
is displayed in the clipping portlet.

This is really strange, because the asp.net page is actually being
called from the clipping portlet wether GET or POST is being used, and
we can verify that the page is actually getting called and executing
and sending a response the same way regardless. So even though the
clipping portlet is sending the request to the .net app, and recieving
the same reponse, it is dealing differently with the results depending
on wether or not the request was using GET or POST.

Is there anybody out there that can make sense of this behaviour and
help us figure out why this is happening? The reason this is important
to us is that we've got some pages that require POST to upload files to
the asp.net application. I have not seen anything in the documentation
that says we can't use POST, so it would be great if we could make it
work that way.

Thanks for any help

Joel.

Re: Portal Installation

It depends what your long term plans are for that portal site.

If it is simply a standalone environment that may get thrown away, then install it with the AppServer version already there.

However, if your plans are to create a clustered environment or to use your AppServer to host other apps, you might want to install Portal on another server and point to that AppServer.

Either way, be sure to patch up AppServer and Portal to the latest patches before you do anything !

Getting the class file from WP_Root/shared/app

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 08:00:28 PST

Hello Friends,

I have one jar file that contains one class file, when I am trying to use this class from my portlet application, on runtime the portlet is throwing me the exception that the given ClassNotFoundException.

After putting this file in shared/app, I restarted the portal server.

I have to place this jar in shared/app because the class in jar file is used by skins and portlets.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Can I create a hidden portlet in my portal page?

It seems the rules are the new function implement in WPS v6.0, while I am using WPS 5.1.

It will be a good way if I can change to WPS v6.0.

Thanks

Though portlet C need preset values from portlet A in sometime, but
the portlet C can work alone as well.

Why I need to hide it , it just comes from customer's requirement.
The customer wants the portlet A be the only entry of portlet C.

In order to prevent getting into this page 2 by navigator, so can not create the page 2 under my portal page, right?

Re: How to control the portlet skin?

Wed, 17 Jan 2007 23:49:08 PST

did you mean that I can use NoSkins for this portlet all the time in my current situation .

And when I want to maximum the portlet , use this tags in my portlet JSP to control the Skin in portlet by my self?

It sounds good, although it said that "do not use portal tags in portlet JSPs".
