JBoss Portal 2.0/ 2.0.1RC1 with JBoss AS 4.0.3

[adamw]

Hello,
I'm trying to deploy jboss portal on jboss as 4.0.3, but I didn't succeed yet. Do they work together? During startup, I get the following exceptions (many times):

I did a cvs update on jboss-portal-2.0 on tag JBoss_Portal_2_0_1_RC2 and I am still getting the above..

Has anyone successfully been able to get JBossAS 4.0.3 with EJB3 and Portal 2.0 working... We have tried on WinXP and RHLinux with no luck.

We are starting a project and need to get something up and running quite quickely.. one thing we do not want to change is JBossAS and EJB3.. hence if we cannot get this going soon we will have to look at other Portal container alterntives..

Thanks,
Jason.

Hello,
try checking out the JBoss_Portal_Branch_2_0 tag:

cvs co -r JBoss_Portal_Branch_2_0 jboss-portal-2.0

I have it working with AS 4.0.3 and EJB3 rc3.
