Web Dynpro and Portal PCD Access

[Former Member]

Hello,

I just finished a lot of desperate testing trying to access the portal pcd

from webdynpro on the same machine. also i read lots and lots of forum

contributions but the best i could get was a class cast exception when

i tried to create a new delta link in an existing folder ...

the problem always arises with this statement

<b>IiView myIView =(IiView)iCtx.lookup(".......");</b>

debugging the returned object gives me following variants

com.sap.portal.pcm.iview.admin.AttributeSetiView

com.sap.portal.pcm.iview.admin.AdminBaseiView

com.sap.portal.pcm.page.admin.AttributeSetPage

com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.PcdGlContext

based on the Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT assignment

my questions:

1) has anybody succeeded in accessing the pcd from dynpro

2) any working examples available

3) what am i dooin wrong

thanks for any help

ulrich scherb.

Hi Ulrich,

I have working example of PCD-WD integration. I can send it to you, just give me your mail id.
