FYI. Problem about webdynpro embedding

[Former Member]

Dear Expert:

I encountered a problem with webdynpro embedded in portal.

Let's make it simple,

the source of a UI element Image in the webdynpro binds to a link -> ftp://...../test.jpg

in my program I change the link dynamically after some action.

Everything works fine if I run this webdynpro.

But the strange thing is when I embed the webdynpro into portal, the image could not be displayed, even

it could not be shown if I bind it to the fixed link. (ftp:///)

I tried other source like http://///test.jpg, it works in portal, but how FTP source fails? I check there is no cache.

Thanks very much for your insight.

Please check your application log and/or default trace to see what exactly happened. It might have something to do with security (depending on your landscape between portal, Web AS, FTP site), how you generated the URL in your WD application. Please refer to this doc (p.18)

Hope it helps.

Why not maintain the image in some SAP KM folder. That will be easy to access and maintain also.

Dear Mahesh,

Thanks for your reply, we could not persuade user storing image and other resources in

KM.

Any other suggestion or ideas?

Storing images in KM is one of the simplest and widely used techniques.

Having said that, you can save the image into any other place in the directory and pull the image from there.

But, in case the company decides a different theme, changing the image can be difficult.

You can create a simple folder in the Portal Directory and pull the image from there using a URL. That will be one of the simpler ways to do this.

Take a look at this forum post to explore options of using FTP.

Thanks
