Webdynpro application URL - short name

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I want to have a short URL for my Web Dynpro Java application (in CE 7.1 SP11).

For example: my application url is - http://<server>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/demo.com/cesar~cui~wd~refresh~cache/RefreshCUICacheApp

I want to open my application just by entering the URL as:http://<server>:<port>/refresh

This is similar to opening NetWeaver Administrator url:

For example: If we open -  http://<server>:<port>/nwa

It open a complete url:http://<server>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tc~lm~itsam~co~ui~nwa~localnavigation~wd/NWAApp

I want to achieve similar to this.

Please suggest me how can I configure my application to achive the same.

Thanks and regards,

Patana

Create a HTTP Alias which re-directs the lengthy URL to a short one..

Hi Sandip,

Can you explain me how we can achiev this.

I know that we can maintain the Alias and Application Alias options are present under:

NWA->Configuration Management->Infrastructure->Java HTTP Provider Configuration

However I am not sure on how to use Application Alias. Please suggest.

If I'm correct, you can only create HTTP aliases, which in essence link to a static directory on the server's file system. Normally you would create an alias in the web.xml file of your web appliaction, and these will be visible under the Application Aliases tab. I'm not sure if this works for Web Dynpro DC's as well, but you might give it a try

Alternatively, you can also create aliases in the Web Dispatcher's profile by using the icm/HTTP/redirect_nnn parameter

Hi Patana,

Did you try using the URL-iViews?

Also have a look to the following link:

Hi Patana!

Create new servlet which can redirect You to WDJ application.

Hi Przemysław,

I am not looking for creating a servlet. I am looking for an option where I can maintain the application alias name and access the application using short name.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Patana
