WebDynpro and Object Based Navigation

[former_member235792]

To anyone who can answer this question:

I am trying to test out Object Based Navigation with two WebDynpro apps.  In the first app, I have three LinkToAction elements. When one of these links are selected, the corresponding action will call the WDPortalNavigation.navigateToObject() method. The text of the links is the object value I would like to pass. My question(s) are:

1.)  How is the object's value passed?

2.)  How does the target of the link read this parameter? Is there some set up I have to do on the Portal side?

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

1.) The object value will be passed as URL parameter

2.) If you set the parameter name as app.* then you can use it as start up parameter.

You need to setup a system on the Portal side. For more information please read the portal documentation.

For further questions please come back to me.

Karin,

I tried to set up a demonstration.  But when I tested it, it appears that the parameter is not passed. The navigation part worked...But no parameter.

Hi Karin,

A couple of questions.

1.)  Do I determine the name of the parameter?

2.)  When you say startup parameter...Do you mean a parameter of the startup plug of the interface view? Or do you mean an application property?
