Theme for standalone WDJ application

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We are on SAP Portal 7.4, and we have developed a WDJ application using NWDS 7.31.

I have a requirement where I will like to use the Portal theme SAP_CORBU to the standalone webdynpro application.

I have tried using the application parameter sap-cssurl=http://<MyHost>:50000/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.themes.lafservice/themes/portal/sap_corbu

But this does not work.

I have also tried whether this method works for other themes like sap_chrome or not.

It does not work.

Request you to please suggest.

Warm Regards,

Upendra Agrawal

SAP_CORBU is supported only if you use Unified Rendering Lightspeed. Set iView parameter Stylesheet to ls and check Supply Portal Stylesheet. See below for how the pre EHP5 Who's Who Web Dynpro Java application looks like with SAP_CORBU. As always you should use SAP_CORBU only with applications that support it. In case of custom application, you will have to adhere to known restrictions with SAP_CORBU. See SAP notes 1681286 and 1852400 for details.

Hi

I am trying to render a wdj application in corbu theme. this is integrated within the Portal.

on the iview level, I have set the stylesheet property as 'ls' and supply portal stylesheet is checked.

in the application parameter, i have maintained sap-theme=sap_corbu

But it does not work. Any other setting to be done?

Thanks

What portal version, including SP and patch level? Are you using LESS themes? Is the iView using the application integrator template? Try using Gold Reflection or even a custom version of it.

Tried gold reflection, still didnt work out.

Make sure useWebDynproStyleSheet is set to false. I just tried it, copy-pasted UWL from the Web Dynpro Java Applications tree to a local folder and previewed the iView. Worked fine without any changes, UWL shows up in my modified Gold Reflection theme. You could use Fiddler, HttpFox, HTTPwatch, etc. to trace the problem. When accessing the iView sap-cssurl should point to your UI Theme Designer theme.

What is the URl parameter you have maintained?

I tried again, but didnt work. I am using a standard ESS app, so no modifications at the code level.

Also I just want to display it in the standard corbu theme. No custom theme has been created at this moment. Appreciate if you could help with more details.

Thanks

I'm not defining any parameters, it works out of the box with the standard UWL component. They have recently changed the way themes and fall back themes are detected and used. I know support for Corbu was recently removed from the UI Theme Designer so at least try with the standard Gold Reflection theme, preferably with a custom one because in the new detection algorithm one of the requirements is that the theme is properly generated and stored in the PCD.

If I understood it correctly, you have a portal with a custom GR theme assigned globally. The WDJ iview is just added, no additional param maintained. The WDJ iview takes the custom GR theme from Portal?

I have a similar set up, i am using the standard GR theme. But still the WDJ does not take the GR theme.

You understood correctly. Apart from creating a customer incident, you can try to troubleshoot the problem yourself with Fiddler, HttpFox, etc. The URL parameter sap-cssurl has to exist and point to the portal theme.

Found this note

1446099 - Application (Web Dynpro or ITS) is not displayed in customer theme

Need to dig into this further. The stylesheet version numbers could be a reason.

Checked the notes, Portal stylesheet is at a higher version.

i think there is no standard support for wdj regarding corbu theme

sorry i was wrong, the wdj support was not there a few month back, now it is there
