Hi All,

Strange is the thing that if i remove all dashlets except my custom dashlet, then it is working fine without any error on browser & i can see html output on my dashlet? ops:

But i want all dashlets to be present on dashboard.

Any help/idea/suggestion? :idea:

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Again,

On investigation i found the issue is due to intermingling of <f:verbatim> tags inside dashboard.

So I found a kinda workaround for it by forwarding to another page once results are got in jsp. :arrow:

topKmContributorSearch.jsp


<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/repo.tld" prefix="r" %>
<%@ page import="com.xxxx.alfresco.km.webscripts.WebScriptInvoker"%>
<%@ page import="com.xxxx.alfresco.km.webscripts.WebScriptCall"%> 
<%@ page import="java.lang.Integer"%> 
<%@ page import="com.xxxx.alfresco.km.property.KmPropertyReader"%> 

<%– JSP to get top KM content contributors in xxxx KM Sapce–%>

<f:verbatim>
<FORM id="form1" NAME="myform" ACTION="/jsp/extension/dashlets/topKmContributorSearch.jsp" METHOD="POST">   
             Number of KM Contributors : 
   <select id="number" name="number">
     <option id="number1" value="Select">Select</option>
     <option id="number2" value="5">5</option>

      KmPropertyReader kmPropertyReader = new KmPropertyReader();
      String adminUserName = kmPropertyReader.getProperty("admin.username");
      System.out.println("adminUserName : "+adminUserName);

      System.out.println("adminUserPwd : "+adminUserPwd);
      String webScriptUrl = kmPropertyReader.getProperty("topkmconrtibutors.webscripturl");
      //System.out.println("webScriptUrl : "+webScriptUrl);
      String fullWebScriptUrl = webScriptUrl+number+"&location="+location;
      System.out.println("Web Script URL Value in jsp : "+fullWebScriptUrl);
      WebScriptInvoker invoker = new WebScriptInvoker();
      result = invoker.doWork(adminUserName, adminUserPwd, "GET", fullWebScriptUrl);

Now if i have some valid results in my jsp, i am redirecting to another jsp using code as below:

<f:verbatim >
<jsp:forward page="/jsp/extension/dashlets/topKmContributorSearchResults.jsp"/>
</f:verbatim>

But still user can not see results on same page which is my original intention. :roll:

If anybody knows a way to fix it,please let me know. :idea:

Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem using <r:webscript> in user management page (/jsp/users/users.jsp). There are no errors on console neither on page, but the html content of webscript was not loaded. I had opened a issue for that but I already change the code as you can see here. My change was to call my webscript using ajax.

In users.jsp, include the javascripts to ajax handling and add a div or other object that will contain the content of webscript:


<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/scripts/ajax/yahoo/yahoo/yahoo-min.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/scripts/ajax/yahoo/connection/connection-min.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/scripts/ajax/common.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/scripts/webscript.ajax.js"> </script>

//DIV will be replaced by the static content of webscript
<div id="content_will_replaceme" />
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The code of webscript.ajax.js was shown here:


function printResult(response){
        var z = document.getElementById("content_will_replaceme");
   z.outerHTML=response.responseText;
}

function loadDefaults(){
   var z = document.getElementsById("content_will_replaceme");
   z.innerHTML="<img src='"+getContextPath()+"/images/icons/ajax_anim.gif'/>";
   YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest("GET", getContextPath() + "/wcs/myScript", 
      { 
         success: printResult,
         failure: printResult
      }, 
      null);
}

if (window.addEventListener) { //Mozila
   window.addEventListener('load', loadDefaults, false); 
} else if (window.attachEvent) { //IE
   window.attachEvent('onload', loadDefaults);
}
