EPCM Eventing between WDA and VC

[Former Member]

I have created an VC WebDynpro Application as below.

List (TABLE) has a button (called Exit) which triggers an event outPortal, no parameters

A signal out port is then configured to trigger an EPCM event, as below

event Name: outPortal

namespace: com.sap.vc:epcm

Mapping has been defined between this port and the details button

So theoretically i am expecting this button click to trigger this EPCM event

Now i have written a WebDynpro ABAP report which has one view called header.

View initialization is done as below

..........

..........

data l_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.

data l_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.

l_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).

l_portal_manager = l_api_component->get_portal_manager( ).

data l_wd_view type ref to if_wd_view_controller.

l_wd_view ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).

l_portal_manager->subscribe_event(

portal_event_namespace = 'urn:com.sap.vc:epcm'

portal_event_name = 'outPortal'

view = l_wd_view

action = 'EXIT'

).

............

............

This should now trap the event that is being raised by the visual composer webdynpro application.

EXIT Action has been coded to raise another portal event, basically navigate back.

I have created an iview for the WebDynpro app and VC compiles an iView for you.

I have then delta linked these two iviews into a portal page.

When i launch this page via my own role, both iviews are launched as expected but the EXIT button on the VC app iView is not triggering the outPortal Event as i can't trap it in the WebDynpro for ABAP Application.

What is it that i am missing, i have already spent a day on this and i am running out of time.

I have done this as per the document provided by Thomas Jung on ABAP WD and VC evengting but i just cant get it to work.

Is there a way to see what all events these apps are raising and subscribing to?

In the log i can see that the VC app is raising an event like below

evaluated relayInfoId: AHB9O, Attributes: {infoset=AAA9O, epcmEvent=com.sap.vc:epcm, name=exit, id=AHB9O}

here name=exit is in the log because thats what i called the event initially, i have now changed the event name to outPortal just to see differences.

Its a non issue if i use Flash compiler but is still an issue if i use WebDynpro Compiler. Hence i may as well close this issue. From what i have seen so far the WebDynpro Compiler is quite immature for now, we are on 2004s SP11.
