Location of WorkareaMap.xml

sunil_j

Hi,

I wish to know what should be specified in mappingConfigLocation attribute of the workareaMapper tag in the tsPortletSystemConfig.xml during a Portal and TeamSite integration using TeamPortal 1.1 ?

To be very specific I wish to know what should I specify as the location of the WorkaraMap.xml in the following tags
<workareaMapper className="com.interwoven.portals.common.SimpleWorkareaMapper">
<initArgument name="mappingConfigLocation">file:./WorkareaMap.xml</initArgument>
<initArgument name="refreshPolicy">1</initArgument>
<initArgument name="debug">true</initArgument>
</workareaMapper>

Should I replace file:./WorareMap.xml ?

I need to understand what to specify for file:./WorareMap.xml ?

Can someone let me know the location ?

Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil

By default, when you install TeamPortal the value of mappingConfigLocation is set to "./Workarea.xml". Note that the Workarea.xml file is located in the same directory as tsPortletSystemConfig.xml. Hence, you do not not need to change this parameter unless you want to change the location of Workarea.xml (in which case you update this parameter to the correct location).

Remember that you need to change the contents of Workarea.xml to make sure that the user is mapped to the appropriate workarea. Details on that are provided in the documentation of TeamPortal.

Hi,

Is it Set to " ./WorkareaMap.xml " or "File:./WorkareaMap.xml" ?
Should I remove File: ?

Hi Sunil

Leave it as is (that is it should be "file:./WorkareaMap.xml") if you do not intend to change the location of the WorkareaMap.xml.

If you do intend to place the WorkareaMap.xml elsewhere, you can remove the "file:" and make it point to a URL which indicates the location of WorkareaMap.xml.

Hi Anirudh,

If I leave as it should be i.e file:./WorkareaMap.xml, it throws me the following error message on the MyTeamSite Portlet : "Could not retrieve user workarea. Please contact your System Administrator" .

But when I tried to debug the error and hard coded the value of the workarea Vpath as "">/default/main/portal/it/WORKAREA/it_wa", in main.jsp Then I managed to get rid of the Error message and I was able to see the MyTeamSite Portlet. Which actually means that main.jsp is not able to read the WorkArea Vpath from the WorkareaMap.xml using the code in main.jsp.

Can you help me further in solving this problem ?

Hi Sunil

I doubt whether there is any problem getting to the WorkareaMap.xml file. There may be a problem reading the relevant workarea inside that file. Could you copy-and-paste the contents of your WorkareaMap.xml and tsPortletSystemConfig.xml files and I will look into it?

Thanks

Hi Sunil

I had a quick look at your configuration files and they seem fine. This means I would like to know more details on your use case.

Specifically:
1. What user did you log in to TeamPortal as?
2. When you logged in to TeamPortal what error messages (if any) did you get from the MyTeamSite portlet and the ContentBrowser portlet?
3. What user did you try to connect to the backed TeamSite (essentially the edit screen of My TeamSite portlet) as? Were you able to successfully do that?
4. When you went back to the main screen after step 3, did you get any error messages from the MyTeamSite portlet and the ContentBrowser portlet?
5. Any other information for your use case?

I suspect that the user id with which you are connecting to the backend TeamSite is not correct in your configuration files. Hence the error.

Hi Anirudh,

Before I answer your questions, Can you please let me know what is the difference between "workgroup" and "externalGroup" ?

Ok now your answers:
1. I logged into the Portal as administrator.
2. Once I successfully logged into the portal, Since I did not
installed the Content Browser Portlet, I saw the error message only from the MyTeamSite portlet. The Error message was "Could not retrieve user workarea. Please contact your System Administrator". This Error message was shown when I saved my Preferences on the Preferences Form where one has to specify the User ID, Password and Domain.

On the Tomcat application Server I am receiving the following Logs :Error messages ...
Could not retrieve user workarea. Please contact your System Administrator
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.jsp.Main_jsp._jspService(Main_jsp.java:202)
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:137)
......

3. On the Edit screen of the MyTeamSite Portlet I specified the user name as "powellc", password as "demo" and domain as "elifetest". And yes the save worked fine.

4. When I returned back to the View Mode of the MyTeamSite Portlet. and It showed me the Error message :"Could not retrieve user workarea. Please contact your System Administrator".

5. I want to let you know that during my debug process I played around with the JSP Code of main.jsp. And on the line which tried to retrieve the Workarea Vpath using JSP Code, I commented the line and hard-coded the value of the WorkareaVPath as "/default/main/portal/it/WORKAREA/it_wa",
There was No error message and I was able to see the MyTeamSite portlet view mode.

Please let me know if you need any further Information in helping me solve my problem.

Thanx Anirudh.

Sunil,
externalGroup is an extension element and should not be used with the out-of-the-box implementation of TeamPortal.
Workgroup should be used to group users who share a workarea.

I see your problem.
You should either put domain="$default" in your user tags, or else provide domain-qualified user names.
So the entry for powellc would be either
<user name="powellc" domain="$default"/>
or
<user name="powellc" domain="elifetest"/>

HTH,
