Calling Dynpro apps from Portal using NW - How?

[Former Member]

I am new to NetWeaver. I am trying to write a simple Portal application in NetWeaver that calls two Dynpro applications.

So, I downloaded from the SDN download page the latest stuff (2 days ago) the following: "SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal on MaxDB, and Developer Edition Sneak Preview", and the "Portal Development kit 6.0". Installed them, and wrote the two Dynpro apps.

Then, using the Portal Perspective, I wrote a simple portal that is just empty. Now, I want to connect this portal to the Dynpro applications I wrote. The Help Tutorial in NW has a good start on how to do this, but it talks about "In the portal, navigate to Content Administration -> Portal Content...". What is this portal tool? It is not part of NW.

Now, it looks like I can use the Portal Perspective to create a "service" or a "web service" to service views for my portal. But, I can't tell it to use my Dynpro applications for views.

Does anybody know how to do this? Easy declarative way would be better than writing code!

I read the document. I am trying to quickly throw this together. Are there examples as to what to do with the portal service returned from getServiceReference call?

I assume the controller code for the Dynpro component must use it to pump the results to the portal. Right? Any code examples?

Hi,

You should have a look to this documentation:
