webtop groups

Hi,

A user can group published applications, but I see no way to set this globally. For instance, I need to publish seven different apps from the MS Office Suite, but don't want the left hand pane of the browser filling with individual apps. It would be nice if all the office apps could be placed in a default group that was predefined. Anybody?

Sorry that I don't have an answer, but I have wondered the same question. Have you learned anything new?-tom

Currently it is not possible to set the application groups globally. Nor will it be in version 4.3 which is now in Beta.

I will make a feature request for it and send it to SUN. If more of us make such a request SUN will look into it and maybe include it in a new release.

Hi

I looked for the same feature and was supposed not to find this in 4.3

We are publishing more than 1500 Applications, so it would be nice, to precustomize the webtop groups.

The only solution, i see for this topic, is to change the webtop.jsp, adding any Application which is not in any other Group to a default group or to a group, build out of a part the applications name, ...

I am planning to make this implementation, but first will see if sun is implementing a solution by them self.

Regards

Hi,

I managed to include a self written jsp file in the webtop.jsp.

This jsp called tds_groups.jsp, checks each application, if it is in any group.

If it is not, the jsp checks if there is allready a group (build out of the name of the application). If there is no group, a new group is beeing created.

For any Application, where the name has no group indicator, the group defaults to "01_Applications".

The Application is then moved to this group.

the groupings are commited and stored back to the session object and

If there had been any modification the webtop is beeing reloaded.

For thouse who are interrested in the solution, please let me know.

Regards,

Lukas

I created application groups in Object Manager (predefined with cn=blahblah) Inside each of these groups, I have the objects in the Members tab. In the Seen By tab, I just put the whole organization.

Then on the user side, they will need to use web browser and point to:

http://servername/sgd/hierarchy.jsp

This is already built in out of the box.
