portletbridge deployment exception

[dibell]

Trying to deploy the portletbridge portlet from Portlet Swap (version 1.0 or 1.1.2) and I get the following error:

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Cannot deploy portlet application; - nested throwable: (javax.management.InstanceAlreadyExistsException: portal:container=WebApp,id=portletbridge already registered.)
at org.jboss.portal.portlet.deployment.jboss.PortletAppDeployment.create
(PortletAppDeployment.java:146)

This using Portal 2.2.1 Final and AS 4.0.4.CR2

I cannot see any apps that would confilict in this way so can only think that it is within the config of this app.

Any hints on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same issue on Jboss-4.0.3SP1 and Portal 2.2.1RC3.

I can't see that it is anything I have done. If I remove the portletbridge-portlet-1.0.war, I get

18:39:02,537 INFO [TomcatDeployer] undeploy, ctxPath=/portletbridge-portlet-1.0, warUrl=.../deploy/portletbridge-portlet-1.0.war/

and the jmx console says portletbridge is not deployed but jmx MainDeployer.listDeployedAsString() reports:

org.jboss.portal.server.deployment.jboss.PortalDeploymentInfo@85195958 { url=file:/C:/Programs/jboss-4.0.3SP1/server/default/deploy/portletbridge-portlet-1.0.war/WEB-INF/ }

When I redeploy (hot deploy the war via copy to deploy directory) I get:

and the jmx listDeployedAsString reports

 jboss.web:j2eeType=Servlet,name=default,WebModule=//localhost/portletbridge-portlet-1.0,J2EEApplication=none,J2EEServer=none (state not available)

but the portletInstance is not available in the portal management portlet.

How can I get around this please?

[chris1906]

Hey dibell - I just thought that likely the duplication of .xml files in the portletbridge.war may be the issue. I'll try removing the duplicated files (eg portlet.xml) tomorrow (12 hours away) - chris

[dibell]

Your thoughts were correct chris1906.

This error is caused because the portlet-bridge war has the src tree under the WEB-INF directory which contains the portlet.xml again!

JBossPortal finds both and therefore tries to register the app twice which then fails.

Rebuilding the war without the src directory deploys straight away.

Dibell - thanks for checking this out. On to the next challenge!

That fixed the deployment but the HTML rewriting doesn't seem to work. The initial URL appears in the portlet but any links clicked come straight back out to the original site.

Are you seeing that too chris1906?

[chris1906]

Yes, I am not seeing very good behaviour. I'll probably have to put further portletbridge work on hold until Tuesday, but advice on any experience/solutions you have/find would be appreciated.
