Did you look at the iframe portlet in the PortletSwap? http://labs.jboss.com/portal/portletswap/portlets_misc.html

Peter,

Thanks for the response. I have down-loaded the iframe portlet, build it and deployed on the portal.

I can see the page i have created for this IFrame portlet (i.e a tab on the default portal), but i do not see the IFrame portlet. There are no error messages on the console. I have checked the server log file (jboss-4.0.4-Portal2.2.1SP1-EJB3\jboss-4.0.4.GA\server\default\log), it does not have any thing.

As i understand, the IFramePortlet, should display (www.jboss.org) web-page in the portlet along with its content. Let me know if i am understanding wrong.

Please throw some light if you have any in-sight.

Thank u for all the responses.

thanks

Peter,

I guess, i solved the issue. The problem was with the config file "portlet-instances.xml" . I am not very clear ( i am still playing around), but the iframeportlet which i downloaded from portal swap has config little bit different. The deployments tag was specified in 2 places one in *-object.aml and other in portlet-instances.xml. I removed the dployment tag in portlet-instances and just kept in *-object.xml. I am not quiet if this was the exact problem.

In case you have any other in-sight please let me know.

thanks

Yes, the deployment should be only in *-object.xml, so the change you made is correct.

Another possible solution would have been to use the Portal Administration portlet to add the iframe protlet to the default page (or some other page).
