How to Use Interactive Forms in BSP Applications - trouble with demo

[dan_scheck]

Is anyone else out there having trouble with the subject how to guide? https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0e58022-2a39-2a10-69a8-c1a892e2...

I think I have everything built out correctly but I get the following run time error.

Business Server Page (BSP) error

What happened?

Calling the BSP page was terminated due to an error.

SAP Note

The following error text was processed in the system:

An exception with the type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause

Exception Class CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL

Error Name

Program Z_PROCESS_BOOKING_FORM========CP

endmethod.

The first page works fine but when I submit my form it fails. I debugged and the request object doesn't look right.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ..

For the sumbmit button in your adobe form .. tou would have mentioned "the controller name ' for eg ..'xxxxx.do' ..

If you mention the whole url ..like "http:/......zapplication/xxx.do" in that place ..it will work fine..

Not really following you here Sivaraj. You certainly don't have to mention the entire URL in the submit button of the Adobe form...and you don't want to. You should use relative paths as the how to guide shows.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Surija,

there is an issue with Internet Explorer that causes this problem when you launch the BSP applicaiton using the test menu in SE80. The issue does not occur with Firefox...very strange I know.

Anyway, to get around this you just copy the BSP application URL and open a browser and paste the URL in...so essentially do not use the "Test" in SE80 to launch your application.

Hope this fixes your problem!

Cheers,

Jeff
