JSP HTMLB tags/Taglib

[former_member1173626]

Hi all,

Are there any JSP HTMLB tags like there are in the portals environment? i.e., tableview, button, tray, etc.?

I know there's a mobilehtmlb.jar, but I couldn't find anything about htmlb tags for MI.

If you have any idea/info, please let me know.

Thx,

mike

Mike,

If you get a reply on that one; please let me know!

Somehow with the latest MI and Portal release the versioning and deploymentpackages have drasticly changed.

Jelle,

I found the jars, but I am awaiting a response from the product manager. Through a NoClassDefFound error, I found out I also had to add logging.jar.

Now this is what I'm getting:

java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.sapportals.htmlb.util.Log.getLoggingProperties(Log.java:22)

at com.sapportals.htmlb.util.Log.getLogLocation(Log.java:44)

..etc., etc...

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks,

mike

Jelle,

I've gotten no answer yet, but I'm now beginning to suspect the above logging error is due to the fact that I copied the htmlb.tld file from the portals environment.

My next assumption is that there must be an htmlb.tld file specifically for mobile?? That's what I'm now pursuing.

Hi Jelle,

Well, I finally got it going. I finally found a note from 2002 which contained some zip files and I found the appropriate TLD and jar files, etc.

But now the task is to find documentation on processing events. I'm accustomed to the Portals type of processing in the java code, but it seems to be different for MI.

Jelle,

I got the response from SAP and the answer is...

...HTMLB is not supported in MI 2.5 and there are no plans to. (Technically it could work, but there's no support.)

Oh well.

Mike,

We've got this response....

>>

Regarding htmlb, htmlb will be also delivered via the pure SAP J2EE

engine, so we do support in this "non portal" area. An corresponding war file is available within htmlb ear file (this should also be available

in the future).

<<

So HTMLB will be supported in non portal java developments.

Gonna check out the latest version I guess...

Cheers,

Hi Mike,

Been away for a week.

Gee... strange reply from SAP. We've just copied the old war file and updated the jar with the latest portal version.

I think the mobile htmlb is supported for pda's.

Thanks for the response!

Mike,

Since our application runs on a laptop we're using the HTMLB for java component (not the mobile one).

I believe this one came with the 2.1 version of the MDK.

Somehow it's not included in the 2.5 version. It is in the Netweaver Development Studio though but misses the installable .war file.

Haven't got a clue what happened.

Jelle

Hi Jelle,

Yes, I was hunting around for that .war file and never found it. I'll have to create an OSS message for that one.

Thanks,
