Talking about JAVA...script and more

Only we'll review the main part of the method "getVotesPerCampaingResponse(Map map)" in the SearchService class. Before to begin we need to consider the following items: com.sapportals.wcm.control.quickpoll.extension.QPResourceManager. com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IResourceContext. com.sap.security.api.IUser. In this operation we must take into account that the quick polls will be processed in according to the quick poll state: current and historical. Therefore, first we need to process the current quick poll and after to process the historical rapid quick polls of the requested campaign. The main class is " QPResourceManager ", internally it works with the com.sapportals.wcm.control.quickpoll.extension.QPBaseService class. For to get one instance of the QPResourceManager class, previously we need to get an instance of the com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser class, it'll reference to the portal service user " cmadmin_service "...

In this first part, we will learn the basic about the SAP portal KM library km.appl.ui.quickpoll_api.jar and its configuration for our development environment. The application that we are going to create will have: input: the name of campaign to review. output: every user vote of the current quick poll with detail information of the user. As the figure 2. Before to begin we must take in account that the following things: The repository path for the quick poll is "/document/QuickPoll". The name of the Quick Poll resource is qp.xml. It is for the current quick poll of the campaign. For the previous and closed quick poll they are located in the history directory of the campaign. The namespace of the quick poll service is " http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm:service.quickpoll.QPService ". The name of the portal service for quick poll is "AppPropertiesRepositoryService". The name of the property is "quickpollvote" ( link ). This is the most important ...

In the previous part ( 1st ) , we saw how to configure SAP JTA Transaction into the Spring Context, now we are going to review the SAP J2EE Datasources. We need to review two parts: 1. Configuration of the JEE datasources in the data-sources.xml file (in according to the SAP AS Platform). In the next picture, you can see the last file that I used in my project In this image you can see the definition of the Driver JDBC (2nd box), it needs to be set-up in the Visual Administrator. After, you see the sql-engine tag, it allows us to define the SQL type support ( help ). The valid values are ( link ): Open_SQL: the system returns a DBI CommonConnection Native_SQL: the system returns a DBI DirectConnection Vendor_SQL: the system returns a standard connection from JDBC driver (not using DBI at all) In this case, I have used the value of Vendor_SQL because I have used iBatis in my persistence layer and not the persistence engines of SAP NW AS (jdo or entity beans). Finally, you need to ...

For this part, we will create, build and deploy a J2EE Application on SAP AS 7.0 with J2SE 1.4, and the version of Spring Framework is 2.0.8 because it is the last one that can be supported by J2SE 1.4. For the Spring XML configuration we will use the XML configuration syntax based on XML Schema, also we could use syntax based on XML DTD for backward compatibility. Because of we are using J2SE 1.4, we will need a parser that supports XML Schema like Xerces. We need to remind that when you create an application with transaction support, we could use 2 type of transaction: Local Transaction are resource-specific (by example when only we work with one resource that needs transaction support like jdbc connection). Global Transaction are managed by the application server using JTA, it provide the ability to work with multiple transactional resources (by example when we work atleast two resources that need transaction support like jdbc connection, and jca connection). Now, we must fo...

I have researched about to convert HTML to PDF. I got 2 approaches. 1. Using Tidy and XSL-FO. 2. Using the project xhtmlrenderer Basically the 1st approach is : 1. Your HTML will need to be validate in according to XHTML, for this you could use Tidy . 2. After you will need to transform this new XHTML document in XLS-FO, you can review this link to find the stylesheet resource ( XHMTL to XLS-FO ). 3. Finally, convert your XLS-FO document in a PDF document. There are 2 links that could help with this approach: http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a/3924 http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2006/jw-0410-html.html The 2nd approach is using the project xhtmlrenderer (https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/) This is easier than 1st approach. This tool hides the steps mentioned in the 1st approach and use CSS. This project uses a CSS parser (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cssparser/). the unique problem the I found out was when you want to use external CSS file in your HTML file. In the example use...

Yesterday I have found out how to use static resource in Shale framework. I wanted to enhance the Use Case example of Shale using Prototype for AJAX support. Then I found out my problem with static resources in Shale framework was resolved with the next steps 1.
