How do I install GateIn 3.0.0-Beta02

[rmbittmann]

Hi all,

I am running Windows XP, and installed Tomcat 6.0 as a service. I downloaded GateIn 3.0.0-Beta02 with Tomcat 6.0.

What should I do next for tomcat to start with the GateIn Portal?

I appreciate your help,
Rani.

You just need to run ./gatein.sh run and access http://localhost:8080/portal.

Are you having any problems?

Though I had to use the short name of "Program Files", i.e. "progra~1" when defining JAVA_HOME it worked fine for me, thanks.

What I have not figured out yet, is how I can start it as a service like when I install tomcat by itself. Otherwise I will have two installations and they will collide.

Also how can I use it for developing a site with eclipse & JBoss tools? Do I have to download the sources as an eclipse dynamic web project?

I am sorry if these are trivial questions, but I could not find it in the documentation, so directing me to the right place in the documentation will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rani.

GateIn adheres to portlet specification (JSR 168 and 286) so programing for GateIn is basically creating a portlet application. For that you should look at tutorials regarding those JSRs. Also GateIn have a UI framework called WebUI, which can help some.

See http://docs.jboss.com/gatein/portal/3.0.0-Beta02/user-guide/en-US/html/ch10.html and http://docs.jboss.com/gatein/portal/3.0.0-Beta02/user-guide/en-US/html/ch11.html for more details.

Hope that helped.
