Currently we are trying to access the parent document javascript functions
from within the iframe document. We are getting permission denied from
within the iframe document when we try to access parent through the
javascript. Does anyone know how to get around the permission denied error
or know of a better way to pass a form field value from one portlet to
another so that the second portlet is refreshed using the form field value?
The second portlet is depend on a value entered into the first portlet.
Each portlet could be running on a different server and using the passed
value to grab data through a JSP.
Example: Portlet A has a text field and submit button. The text field
accepts a patient ID and when submitted portlet B receives the value. Then
portlet B which is a JSP on a different application server pulls the
demographic data for the patient from the patient processing system.
Action actionB = ActionLoader.getInstance().getInstance("portlets.PortletActionB");
actionB.doSave(rundata, context);
If you need to pass parameters, just add them to the request with setAttribute
As for your last statement "each portlet could be running on a different server",
Jetspeed doesn't currently support remote portlet invocation.
There is a committee at Oasis working on a remote portal spec. called WSRP.
If you need to communicate with a remote JSP application, you could write a service or customization of the WebPagePortlet2 to do so.
This portlet or service could also be tied into Portlet A, so that when the patient ID is submitted, and the action for Portlet A is invoked, then the call to the remote JSP would be submitted with the patient id posted.
Since the remote JSP probably returns HTML, it will need to parsed, and that is where WebPagePortlet2 comes in.
