How to get source code from portal app

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a successful Web dynpro portal application running, which I would like to modify. We lost the source code. Is there any way that I can get the source code from the portal?.

Thanks and I appreciate your help.

Hi Balakrishnan,

I got a .EAR File, but I dont know how to convert it into a web dynpro project. Do you have any idea?.

Thanks,

Sunita,

Pick out the .class files from the the .ear file and decompile them. Then, create a new project and copy the required code.

Hi,

You can extract class files from app.jar and decompile it(.ear->.wda) but it is only generated classes without metadata. Metadata is stored in .wda file but format is not compatible with studio. That all options you have.

Go through the following links, it will be helpfull to you

Hi sunita:

The best thing that you have to do it, is decompile the classes and rebuild all your project, it has happend to us, and is the way to resolve it, we din´t find another way.
