Integrating Applinx HTML Web Emulation into CAF Portlet App.

[Odina_TOMA]

Hello,

we have created an ApplinX html web emulation of a backend-system. We need to be able to call the created JSP webApplication directly within a CAF Portlet Application (by clicking on a link within a portlet).
Has anyone integrated an ApplinX html web emulation in a Portlet Application before?

Thank you

I’ve heard about this being done, but i’m not sure if anyone monitoring this forum has attempted this.

I enquired about this back in 2008 for a customer, and received this response from R&D:

ApplinX JSP framework can never be a ‘real’ portlet. A portlet is something very light weight with many restrictions. It cannot accommodate the framework’s many JavaScript files, generated JSP pages, etc.
However, there’s another option, used successfully by some of our customers. You can define in portals something called ’ URL portlet’ - basically it’s an iframe (container) that displays any URL given to it. This URL can be the ApplinX web application. This way you can easily integrate the ApplinX web application in any J2EE portal.

Hello,

actually that is what I have tried : I have created a small portlet application (that runs in MWS) and in that portlet I have iserted an IFRAME which links to my ApplinX WebApplication (that runs in IS).

The problem I a have encountered is that this only runs in Firefox…
Do you have any idea why the content of the IFRAME is not displayed in InternetExplorer8?

Thank you
