Custom Vendor ID in portalapp.xml

[kai_unewisse3]

Hi,

i am using in my custom components for the 7.3 portal a different vendor as the default sap.com.

When i deploy per NWDS i get an warning :

	1. Warning occurred on server 2327851 during update of company.de/com.mycompany.some.layout : Portal Application Descriptor Validator Test: com.sap.ASJ.webjlin.000060 Property with name "Vendor" is specified in //application/application-config, but the value "company.de" is not correct. Allowed value(s): "sap.com"., file: com.mycompany.some.layout.war#WEB-INF/portalapp.xml, severity: warning

I found the property deployment.supportedProviders :

Configuring the Portal Runtime Properties - Configuring the Portal for Initial Use - SAP Library

But it seems that is another setting just to reference J2EE applications that are not portal applications ...

Any idea where to add vendors ?

Thanks,

Kai

Hi Kai,

This is not configurable. It is hardcoded in class com.sap.tc.jtools.jlinee.web.tests.portalapp.PortalAppValidatorTest within sap.com~tc~jtools~jlinee~web.jar in directory \usr\sap\<SID>\J00\j2ee\cluster\bin\ext\tc~je~jlinee~lib\lib as follows:

/* 123*/	String vendorPropertyValue = vendorValueExpression.evaluate(portalapp);
/* 124*/	if(vendorPropertyValue == null || !vendorPropertyValue.equals("sap.com")) {
/* 125*/	Properties props = new Properties();
/* 126*/	props.setProperty("ATTR", "Vendor");
/* 127*/	props.setProperty("VALUE", vendorPropertyValue);
/* 128*/	props.setProperty("ALLOWED", "sap.com");
/* 129*/	addWarning("WEB-INF/portalapp.xml", "portalapp.2", props);

So, we just have to live with it (of course one could patch this class, but what for...!?)

The checks on the portalapp.xml are also described in /data/tests.xml within the aforementioned jar:

This tests verifies that the following conditions apply for the elements of portalapp.xml descriptor:

  (1) There is a "Vendor" property inside every portal application.

  (2) The "Vendor" is set to "sap.com"

  (3) There is a "SecurityArea" inside every portal application.

  (4) The "SecurityArea" starts with prefix "NetWeaver." (it has a dot after the word)

  (5) Every portal service and portal component inside the portal application should have a "SafetyLevel" property.

  (6) The "SafetyLevel" is set to one of the 4 possible values: "no_safety" \ "low_safety" \ "medium_safety" \ "high_safety".
