Deploying HelloWorld IPC in 2.2 (currently it's configed for

[trupoet]

So I have JBoss AS 4.03 SP1 and JBoss Portal 2.2.1 setup and I've been trying to get the Hello World portlet to deploy.

In Portletswap it says that it is preconfigured for JBoss Portal 2.4....and I'm running into errors that seem to indicate I need to change something to make it work in 2.2 (like ClassNotFoundExceptions about org.jboss.portal.common.system.JBossServiceModelMBean because it doesn't exist in 2.2.1).

So what do I need to do exactly to reconfigure/compile the portlet for 2.2?

Help would be appreciated, thanks.

Sorry, HelloWorldIPC portlet, not regular Hello World.

Anyone?

I checked SVN but only seems to be a 2.4 version of the IPC portlet. No 2.2. I don't see any options in the build file to make a 2.2 version either.

The error I'm getting is: (bottom of stack trace)

16:35:10,577 WARN [ServiceController] Problem starting service portal:service=ListenerService,type=ipc_listener

Then at the end of the console file:

I think I've seen this type of thing before and it was a problem with having duplicate jars across separate deployed wars/sars.

Taking this into account, I tried removing some or all of the jar files included in the ICP sar deployment and rebuilt but it threw different errors like it needed those.

Any help at all would be appreciated, thx.

FIXED.

I was able to google for this portlet and find an older version of it that deployed just fine in JBoss Portal 2.2 but then it didn't quite work right, throwing errors about not recognizing getParameters as a valid function from WindowActionEvent.

What I figured out is that the jars it was packaging were older than the 2.2.1 I am using so I found the 2.2.1 jars and rebuilt and bam worked like a charm.

NOTE: In the version of the example portlet that I found, I looked thru the jboss-service.xml and it had parts for each version of the Portal (2.2 vs. 2.4).

The newest example up on portletswap does not have this =/

But basically it is the following:

<server>
 <!-- For 2.4
 <mbean code="org.jboss.portal.core.event.PortalEventListenerServiceImpl"
 name="portal:service=ListenerService,type=ipc_listener"
 xmbean-dd=""
 xmbean-code="org.jboss.portal.common.system.JBossServiceModelMBean">

 <xmbean/>

 </mbean>
 -->
 <!-- Portal 2.2 -->
 <mbean
