javax.portlet.PortletException: INIT_VIEW_PARAMETER must be

[newto23]

Hi,

I have my Sun JSF application deployed successfully in my JBoss portal server 2.4.1

While launching the portal application, I am getting an exception like,

2007-01-12 09:38:40,729 ERROR [org.jboss.portal.portlet.container.com_sun_faces_portlet_FacesPortlet] The portlet threw an exception
javax.portlet.PortletException: INIT_VIEW_PARAMETER must be specified
at com.sun.faces.portlet.FacesPortlet.render(FacesPortlet.java:290)

My portlet.xml file is,

<portlet>
<portlet-name>TestPortlet</portlet-name>
<portlet-class>com.sun.faces.portlet.FacesPortlet</portlet-class>
<init-param>
<name>default-view</name>
<value>/index.jsp</value>
</init-param>
<supports>
<mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
<portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
</supports>
<portlet-info>
<title>Test JSF Portlet</title>
</portlet-info>
</portlet>

My -object.xml file is,

<deployments>
<deployment>
<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
<parent-ref>default.default</parent-ref>
<window>
<window-name>TestPortletWindow</window-name>
<instance-ref>TestPortletInstance</instance-ref>
<region>center</region>
<height>1</height>
</window>
</deployment>
</deployments>

My portlet-instances.xml file is,

<deployments>
<deployment>
<instance>
<instance-id>TestPortletInstance</instance-id>
<portlet-ref>TestPortlet</portlet-ref>
</instance>
</deployment>
</deployments>

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks.

The init parameter for the Sun JSF implementation is:
com.sun.faces.portlet.INIT_VIEW

instead of "default-view" used by myFaces.

so in your portlet.xml you would have:

<init-param>
 <name>com.sun.faces.portlet.INIT_VIEW</name>
 <value>/index.jsp</value>
</init-param>

(Next time, please use "code" instead of "quote" to write done some XML so that it is not stripped.)

Hope this helps.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the help. The exception is gone now.

However my JSF pages are not rendered, I simply get a blank screen.

The Jboss portal server throws the following warnings,

 servlet path 'null'.

Please help me to resolve this.

Hi Thomas,

My JSP page has 3 frames in it. When I give the individual pages in my <init-param> setting, my pages get rendered, where as if the frame page is called, I simply get a blank page with no exceptions.

Please let me know how to resolve this.

Thanks
