How to have Portal/G open a dynamic linked document ?

Hi,

My question is : Is there a way to have portal/g open documents that are NOT stored in the database ?
The path of those documents are not intended to be stored within the database either, but will be dynamically created based on some panel data (e.g. the base path will be given by a preference value and the name of the document will be retrieved based on the W/O number).

If it's not possible with The old Portal/G, could this work using an URL field in Portal/J ?

Thanks.

Accessing applications via Portal/J URL

Hi,

What you're proposing could work as long as the Portal/J URL is launching something running under a web browser or a servlet.

I've seen the Portal/J URL open MicroSoft SharePoint in search mode with "key" data. MS SharePoint's search runs and returns a list of possible hits in a web browser. When the user is done in SharePoint and closes browser, they are returned to Portal/J.

The P/J URL can launch a Java servlet under Tomcat.

It would be interesting to see if it's possible to launch Google's editor (Google Docs) against a document.

Regards
