I have a similar problem, i also want to change the name of the default page. I have found something interesting in the JBoss Portal Wiki http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Portal_2_4DefaultObject but that did not work. I changed

<portal>
...
 <properties>
 <property>
 <name>portal.defaultObjectName</name>
 <value>default</value>
 </property>
 </properties>
...
</portal>

to

<portal>
...
 <properties>
 <property>
 <name>portal.defaultObjectName</name>
 <value>Home</value>
 </property>
 </properties>
...
</portal>

and i changed also the name of the default page to

 <page>
 <page-name>Home</page-name>
 ...
</page>

but nothing happened. Only the CMS seems to be broken. I know that changing the name of the default page is possible as the jboss portal live demo shows. http://portal.demo.jboss.com/. This is exactly what i want.

Thanks,
Alexander

The way it was done in the demo server, was to go in to the portal sar and edit the default-object.xml, changing default to Home. However, this was done with a clean DB.

The reason the CMS breaks, is because the CMS is looking for default.default.CMSPortletWindow, as you can see here: http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.4/reference-guide/en/html/cmsPortlet.html#d0e3749

<attribute name="TargetWindowRef">default.default.CMSPortletWindow</attribute>

Change that to:

<attribute name="TargetWindowRef">default.Home.CMSPortletWindow</attribute>
