Create a node module and call it from web module in Cloud Foundry

Former Member — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 04:55:26 GMT

Please help me with the steps to create a mta application using nodejs module without enabling XSJS compact-ability in SAP XSA or Cloud Foundry and later calling the node api from web module.

Note: I do not want to use CLI here.

Thanks.

Can you please be more specific? It sounds like you want to create a node module as a runtime artifact which isn't possible. All modules are design time artefacts that need to be published via the CLI or the cockpit.

Sorry Marius, for making the question it unclear. So, the problem was I have node module, now inside the module I had created a folder called nodeTest and it has a file with the name app.js with the below content

var http = require("http");
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
  res.end("Inside app file");
}).listen(port);

this the base url of my node application: https:XXX.ondemand.com

on calling this the server.js gets called.

now, when I want to call app.js. I call the below url

https:XXX.ondemand.com/nodeTest/app.js

but the output I am getting is of server.js

Sorry if its a very basic level questions.

Thank you.

jquery-dbg.js:9275 Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://XXX-node.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/app?_=1600238827386' from origin 'https://web-XXX.ondemand.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

So, basically I am facing cross origin issue between node and web module.

Please help in resolving this.

Thanks.
