                    Thank you Sohil.

                    I saw that in the Role Management portlet, The "Create New Role" link does not work.

                    I am running 2.6 Beta 1 in Firefox on Linux.

                    Thanks!

                        In getting the workflow to work I modified the /portal-cms.sar/portal-workflow.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml. Specifically, I uncommented the JBPM Process Definition part so that I could extend it to include a more detailed workflow. On restarting the app server, I see the following error lines:

                        I have tried to look for the Workflow Service at all levels of the installation but cannot locate it. Can someone please let me know if this is something that I am doing wrong or is it a bug.

                        Thank you

                          Menu tabs that have security settings in the *object.xml seem to show regardless of the user's role.

                          The dropdowns using hover are extremely hard to use. They disappear before you can make a choice in the dropdown, especially with IE-6.

                          Also can you refactor this mess? The code for these menu choices is still in Java classes where it doesn't belong. How about some sort of JavaScript/Ajax based menu system fed by the *object.xmls based on the user's roles so we can easily customize the look and feel.

                          Finally, make the page nesting recursive so we can add 1:n levels of menus instead of just two.

                            Is there an ETA for beta 2? I am interested in seeing how the WSRP changes are progressing but that appears to not be included in the beta 1 release.

                            Will that be in the next beta?

                              We are about to release CR1 (tagged in SVN) that contains WSRP. For technical reasons, WSRP could not be included in Beta1
