how to deploy a singe portlet?

[obscure_eidolon]

hi,
How can I deploy a single portlet(ie: not assigned to a page)?

i've tried
trial-object.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>

<instance-name>MyPortletInstance</instance-name>
<component-ref>trial.MyPortlet</component-ref>




also I've added the portlet.xml and web.xml files and packaged all in a .war file.
The instance didn't show in the instances list?
can anyone help?

you ca deploy your portlet in a war archive,
in xxxx-object.xml you specify instances like this:


<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>

<instance-name>HelloWorldPortletInstance</instance-name>
<component-ref>helloworld.HelloWorldPortlet</component-ref>

 <deployment>
 <if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
 <instance>
 <instance-name>HelloWorldPortletInstance</instance-name>
 <component-ref>helloworld.HelloWorldPortlet</component-ref>
 </instance>
 </deployment>
