Customization Problem in InfoViewApp

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

we are developing BO products, which are used in the InfoView application through the selecting the report. In the XI 2 we should add links below the reports as "Export Report" but in the XI 3.0 we should not find the solution. We thought about adding the link to the Pop-up window (which is opened when right click to report) but we couldnot find the source of it.

I want your help about show me a way to put link in to a place where i can select report and direct the user to my app page.

thanks for help.

XI 3.x InfoView is more closed to customization than XI Release 2 InfoView - the older version had UI implemented solely in JSP pages, that allowed for some modification.

The intent wasn't to close off modifications - any code modification for XI InfoView isn't supported at all - but that the XI 3.x InfoView uses a new internal framework, and much of the UI action is now in compiled byte code.

You'll see that much of the modifications that were possible in XI Release 2 InfoView would no longer be possible with XI 3.x.

Sincerely,

You mean I have to find a new way to solve my problem.

Thanks

Two possible options - modifying the byte code in the InfoView jar files or using a HTTP Servlet Filter to modify the outgoing content - would be fragile, i.e., when porting across Service Packs.

I tried for first one but it is not simple. There are lots of jar documents and also they are so complicated and their source codes are not released. If you have any idea about which jar can be modified or which one is the main of the actions, can you tell me?

First time I intensified on .js documents but could find nothing.

I find a jar related with listing page.(infViewActions.jar under InfoViewAppActions )

But buttons are static and I should not add new buttons.

I think I should canalize page to a middle page. This is a better solution then finding page features.

thanks again.

Gosh no - the internals are much more complex, since it deals with several frameworks.

Since it's not something that's supported, I won't be able to give you any details. I will say that the XI 3.x InfoView utilitizes multiple web apps - PlatformServices, CrystalReports, AnalyticReporting, OpenDocument, etc. - based on functional lines, so it's more complex than just InfoViewApp.
