1. Re: Deploy a new portal instance on JBP2.2 alpha
roy.russo Oct 4, 2005 10:13 PM (in response to dunks80)The -portal.xml descriptor has changed in one way. Look at the default-portal.xml as an example.
Once like this:<instance-ref>portal.CMSPortlet.CMSPortletInstance</instance-ref>
Now like this:<instance-ref>CMSPortletInstance</instance-ref>

2. Re: Deploy a new portal instance on JBP2.2 alpha
dunks80 Oct 5, 2005 12:18 AM (in response to dunks80)So I understand what you're saying and I changed my instance-ref's for my portlet in my portlet-instances.xml file but I still can't get to my portal instance. I'm trying every url i can think of /portal/myPortal, /portal/local/myPortal, etc. I think this has something to do with what Julien posted here
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=70350. I reread that post over and over but I'm still missing something. When deploying a new portal instance do i need a *-instances.xml file with all my portlet instances mapped like the ones in the default-instances.xml in addition to the portlet-instances.xml file? Should those mappings look like this?<instance> <instance-name>MyPortletInstance</instance-name> <component-ref>webapp:myNewPortal/MyPortlet</component-ref> </instance>
I'm a little confused on how this new model Julien posted about works. -
3. Re: Deploy a new portal instance on JBP2.2 alpha
julien1 Oct 5, 2005 5:47 AM (in response to dunks80)when you have a deployment descriptor in the same webapp you don't need to use the full name, you just use the short name.
so an instance use the portlet name and a window use the instance name, that's the deployer which resolves the name when it installs the descriptors.
you use webapp:mywebapp/MyPortlet when you have an instance that is deployed in conf/data/default-instances.xml as the instance does not know in which webapp a portlet is.
that's the same for window/instance
you can use JMX and go on the mbean portal:service=ContainerRegistry and see if the object you are looking for exists or not using the getObject method, in that case you need to use the full name. -
4. Re: Deploy a new portal instance on JBP2.2 alpha
david.calvente Oct 29, 2005 1:14 PM (in response to dunks80)I'm at the same point: trying to deploy a custom portal in JBoss Portal 2.2 Alpha.
My portal is a very simple HelloWorld Portal that works fine in JBoss Portal 2.01RC1.
When I depoy the same *.war in 2.2Alpha JBoss does not complain but I can't reach my portal with any URL I can imagine.. (obviously I tryed the one used in 2.0.1 RC1 and doesn't work neither)
I've tryed to use diferent instance paths but none worked!
Please, could someone share a very simple Portal that works on JBoss Portal 2.2? -
5. Re: Deploy a new portal instance on JBP2.2 alpha
julien1 Oct 29, 2005 1:38 PM (in response to dunks80)looks in the forums war files and copy it.
I am working on a better format for deployment of things such like that. -
6. Re: Deploy a new portal instance on JBP2.2 alpha
david.calvente Oct 29, 2005 3:51 PM (in response to dunks80)Thanks Julien,
I built the forums portal and deployed it in my JBoss server.
To reach that portal I need to point my browser to:
http://localhost:8080/portal/local/forums
Is this the only one posible?. I tryied http://localhost:8080/portal/forums with no luck...
I also checked the internal files against the files in my helloworl portal and have a few questions:
1) The forums-pages.xml file: Is obsolete? It used the old structure for referencing instances and in the <portal-name> node its value is "default"
2) Do I need to build an EAR or it's enought with a WAR File
3)Is there any dependencies between War filename, jboss-app.xml app-name element value, and so on?
My HelloWorld Portal still fails to be reached..
And finally, Can I e-mail you my helloworld.war file (just 5 KB) to some address?
Thanks a lot

julien1 Oct 30, 2005 7:07 AM (in response to dunks80)1) The forums-pages.xml file: Is obsolete? It used the old structure for referencing instances and in the <portal-name> node its value is "default"
yes it is, I am working on a better deployment format that should address more issues and allow deployment of portal / page / window2) Do I need to build an EAR or it's enought with a WAR File
no3)Is there any dependencies between War filename, jboss-app.xml app-name element value, and so on?
if jboss-app.xml / app-name is not defined then the application id is the context name, otherwise it is the app-name value that is taken. the reason of that is that we want to be able to provide an application id that is independant from the war file name. Because if you rename the war file then the application id would change and would break all internal references to that application. -

david.calvente Oct 30, 2005 8:23 AM (in response to dunks80)Thanks.
Could you please explain me why should I point my browser to:
http://localhost:8080/portal/local/forums instead of http://localhost:8080/portal/forums (doesn't work).
And please, Could you take a look at:
My helloworld portletpackage org.jboss.portlet.helloworld; import javax.portlet.GenericPortlet; import javax.portlet.RenderRequest; import javax.portlet.RenderResponse; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.io.IOException; public class HelloWorld extends GenericPortlet { public void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) { response.setContentType("text/html"); try { PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter(); writer.write("Hello World !!!"); writer.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
My helloworld-portal.xml

I build a WAR file containing them in the WEB-INF dir except the .java, whose .class is in classes dir.
I've been working a lot on them, figuring out diferent combinations etc.. and as I said before, worked perfectly in 2.01 but in 2.2 ALPHA I can't find the right URL to access the portal
Please, could you spend a few minutes on this?.
Thanks a lot

9. Re: Deploy a new portal instance on JBP2.2 alpha
david.calvente Oct 30, 2005 12:19 PM (in response to dunks80)Finally I reached the portal at: http://localhost:8080/portal/local/helloworldPortal/helloworldPage01
It seems like the default-page node in *-portal.xml does not work
I also saw that using *-pages.xml does not work neither.
I hope this info could be useful for improving the code
Thanks
David
