Portal 2.0 build failure

[dshen]

I checked out the portal code (jboss-portal-2.0) tonight. Everything looks good.

By following the procedure inside the user manual, I tried to build the portal (jboss-portal-2.0/build/sh build.sh) and got the following compiling errors. Looks like the classpath is not set correctly inside the build.xml. Is there anything else I need to do to build the portal? My JBOSS_HOME is set correctly.

Also, I noticed that jregex.jar is missing from thirdparty. I downloaded it myself and put under /jboss-portal-2.0/thirdparty/jregex-jregex.

Please help. Thanks.

are you sure you got the right stuff from cvs ?

use: cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/jboss co jboss-portal-2.0

To make 100% sure, I am trying it again by copy and paste your command. I defined and used a CVSROOT env variable before. Let's see what will happen. Thanks.

This time, it works. Build succeeds.

Still can not find jregex.jar though. I thought code in format is using it.

[theute]

jregex is not used anymore

[dshen]

Thanks.

Deployed core and forums successfully. The user manual needs to update on two things:
1. jboss-remoting.jar needs to be copied from all/deploy/lib to default/deply/lib as well (besides jgroups.jar and jboss-cache.jar).
2. changes need to be made on portal-ds.xml if you copy it from core/resources/setup directory.

Click through the portal for a while, great stuff. Do have some questions:
1. whether or not all the portlet inside jboss porta are using the same authentication/authorization schem? To be specific, whether or not the user portlet/role portlet are controlling the access to the forums portlet?

2. what's the difference between "/index.html?page=forums" and "/index.html?_id=page.default.forums"? The second one is a working link (from the menu portlet) and the first one is not working (from the main panel) - page is just simply refreshed. I thought everything should go through "?page=", what's "_id" about?

3. can not make forums portlet fully working, e.g. can not click on "new post" link. Is it still under development?

thanks!

The forum is working fine now.

I took a short cut before and used setup.ddl and setup.sql from the binary distribution. I ran the build.sh ddl and reran the setup.ddl and setup.sql. It is working well now.

Still have question about the "?page=" and "?_id=".
