Portlet from Creator studio to Jboss Portal

[antitrust1982]

Hi all,

I surf on the web and I find a solution in order to create easily a portlet(creator studio 2). Now, I want to put my portlet in the JBoss portal. I have seen that I must add some xml files. Which one? and what I must to put in? Because When I take from the example Helloworld, Jboss-app, and Jboss-web and remplace the information of helloworld by my portlet information. When I copied my war in the deploy folder I hadn't any link in order to open my new portlet, so I can't use it on Jboss Portal. What must I do? help me and give me if exist some links in order to understand how I must create these xml files.

Thank you for your help and clues

Please read the doc.
Hint: You need a file "-objects.xml"

hi,

I read the doc but I don't understand what is important to put in my "-object.xml".

my file is this one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <deployments>
- <deployment>
 <if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
 <parent-ref>default</parent-ref>
 <properties />
- <page>
 <page-name>My Portlet</page-name>
 <properties />
- <window>
 <window-name>MyPortletWindow</window-name>
 <instance-ref>MyPortletInstance</instance-ref>
 <region>center</region>
 <height>0</height>
 </window>
 </page>
 </deployment>
- <deployment>
 <if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
- <instance>
 <instance-name>MyPortletInstance</instance-name>
 <component-ref>MyPortlet.MyPortlet</component-ref>
 </instance>
 </deployment>
 </deployments>

and I have error when I run my portlet. I think I don't put the good element or the good things in there, it's why I ask to somebody a link where I can find all the step in order to create these files and what is important to put in and not.

and I try to inspire me too from this source http://www.sqli.com/ressources/files/Etude_Chopard_portlets_en_Java.pdf

thank you for your help

hello all,

I read the reference manual and user guide, and I tried to create a portlet which can works on the JBoss Portal, who named "portlet".

My portlet is a page with a bouton in a portlet page, just this. I create this page with Java Creator Studio. Then I generate it and deploy it on the server of creator studio. It works in.

After, I go in my projet of portlet and change the build/web folder name to portlet, and create a portlet-object.xml in /portlet/WEB-INF

here is my code of portlet-object.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deployments>
<deployment>
<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
<parent-ref>default</parent-ref>
<properties/>
<page>
<page-name>Hello World</page-name>
<properties/>
<window>
<window-name>PortletWindow</window-name>
<instance-ref>PortletInstance</instance-ref>
<region>center</region>
<height>0</height>
</window>
</page>
</deployment>
<deployment>
<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
<instance>
<instance-name>PortletInstance</instance-name>
<component-ref>Portlet.Portlet</component-ref>
</instance>
</deployment>
</deployments>

After To do this I 'zipped" the portlet folder to portlet.war, and put it in the deploy folder of JbossPortal.

I don't have anylink to execute it. I forgot anything in my creation of portal? My portlet.xml is false? What must I do more in order to do working this portlet?

thank you for you help

Nobody can explain me how I must write my xml files in order to be sure that is good. Because, I tried following the user guide but It's don't work. I want just the minimum in order to have my portlet works and appear on he Jboss portal.

Thank you for your help

there is a pretty big collection of portlets you could use as examples on
www.portletswap.com - maybe looking at their descriptors would give you a better idea of how you should write yours.
