Problem Accessing 'RoomsService' Service.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am having an issue accessing the RoomsService on the EP6 sp2 portal. I am attempting to write a 'My Rooms' iView using the collaboration api, but seem unable to get the service from the portal.

I would like help accessing the RoomsService api and IRooms objects from someone who has successfully achieved this. I have tried using the various ways of referring to the service, such as

IRooms.KM_SERVICE_ID,

IRooms.PORTAL_SERVICE_ID

"Rooms Service".

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark Hockings

hmmm, interesting. Many thanks for your help. If I get time I will try and narrow down what else changed!

Hi Mark,

it's just one hour ago that I've done that, without any problems, EP6 SP2.

IRooms roomsAPI = (IRooms)
        PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(
        IRooms.PORTAL_SERVICE_ID);

should work perfectly. If not, has the exception thrown been the same as the one you printed here?

Did you add <i>com.sap.netweaver.coll.appl.room</i> to the value of the (Private) SharingReference property?!

Hope it helps

Hi Detlev,

Many thanks for your input.

Attached is my PortalApps.xml. The same exception is being thrown as in the original post. Any other ideas?

Hi Mark,

I've no quick idea...

- Your coding (com.sabmiller.collaboration.iviews.MyRooms) is within the private part of the portal app?

- When you start your EP, is there any error message within the corresponding error log (under console_logs)?

- To be sure, please use the variation I have used and publish the whole stack trace.

- Which EP version - SP? HF?

Hope it helps

PS: For such cases, it is often a great deal to reduce the complete project to a minimum, so your class to just referencing the RoomService and nothing else.

Thanks Detlev.

I have figured out the problem. It required a 'servicesreference' in the portalapps.xml, not a sharing reference.

Cheers,

Hi Mark,

nice to hear that it works, but the reason must be different.

This is my portalapp.xml, definitely working, EP6 SP2 P4:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application>
  <application-config>
    <property name="PrivateSharingReference" value="htmlb,com.sap.netweaver.coll.appl.room,com.sap.netweaver.coll.shared,com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf,com.sap.netweaver.bc.util,com.sap.portal.usermanagement"/>
  </application-config>
  <components>
    <component name="RoomAuthorizationSetter">
      <component-config>
        <property name="ClassName" value="com.xx.xxx.authorization.AuthorizationSetter"/>
        <property name="SecurityZone" value="com.xx.xxx.authorization.AuthorizationSetter/LOW_SAFETY"/>
      </component-config>
      <component-profile>
        <property name="tagLib" value="/SERVICE/htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld"/>
      </component-profile>
    </component>
  </components>
  <services/>
</application>

ServicesReference - at least the portal runtime doc (p. 26) says - is equivalent to SharingReference. If ServicesReference works, SharingReference should do, too. Did you try SharingReference? In your example you have used PrivateSharingReference, that's why I have asked if your coding is in the private or public PAR part.

Best regards

Detlev
