getContextName() in WD app running in Portal iView

[Former Member]

Does anyone know how to use request.getComponentContext().getContextName() in a Web Dynpro application running in a Portal iView?

I am currently using:

IWDWebContextAdapter iad = WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter();

IWebContextAdapter adapter = (IWebContextAdapter) iad;

IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest) adapter.getOriginContext();

String navTarget = request.getComponentContext().getContextName();

which compiles ok, and I have added the prtapi.jar to my project. But everytime I run this I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for com/sapportals/portal/prt/component/IPortalComponentRequest

What I am trying to do is get the PCD location for the iView in which the application is running to use in WDPortalNavigation.

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Hi

This error might be because the prtapi.jar is not recognized.

Instead of adding it as an external jar,try the below:

1)Copy the jar file and paste it in the lib folder.

2)Then in the java build path --> libraries >Addjars>

add ur jar.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the reply Rathna.

I copied the jar file to the lib folder. But when I try to "Add Jar" rather than "Add External Jar", it says "No Entries Available" and the selection screen is disabled.

How do I reference my WD project in order to select the jar file i copied into the lib folder?

Thanks,

Hi

If u click "Add Jar" it will list out all the projects that are opened from which u can select

ur project>lib>jar file.

I can see the list of opened projects if i try to add jar.

Also Please check whether u have added the jar file in the lib folder of the project u need to add.
