Displaying Portlet of one application in another application

[arvind_pv]

Hi,

Is it possible to display a Portlet present in one Application in another portal application. If so then guide me how can I do this thing.

Thanks

pages can feature portlets from any portlet app (WAR) deployed to the portal.
when you add a portlet window to a page, make sure that the instance it points to references the portlet in the desired context, like:

 <deployment>
 <if-exists>keep</if-exists>
 <instance>
 <instance-name>MyPortletInstance</instance-name>
 <component-ref>WarContextHere.MyPortlet</component-ref>
 .......

Note: I'm not quite sure what the explanation is, but in some deployment scenarios you'll have to prepend the context name with a '/', in others you don't. I deployed a portlet app contained in an EAR for example. The jbos-app.xml maps the app to a context name, but I have to refere to the context with a preceding '/' in the -object.xml, defining an instance of a portlet from this app.

Sounds like a reference to WSRP, which will be available in 2.4 - 2Q 06.

Hi mholzer,

I thank you very much for posting solution for my query. Your suggestion really worked for me. Below is the XML fragment which I have used in my application. I haven't placed any "/" before the context name in <component-ref> tag.

<deployment>
 <if-exists>keep</if-exists>
 <instance>
 <instance-name>MyPortletInstance</instance-name>
 <component-ref>WarContextHere.MyPortlet</component-ref>
<deployment>

Once again Thanks
