Portal 2.4.1 in AS 4.2.0. Any work arounds?

[nollie]

Hello everyone

I'd like very much to use AS 4.2.0 with portal 2.4.1, but there is at least one known issue stopping me: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1483

?jboss-portal.sar built with jdk 1.4 when deployed to jboss 4.2.0.GA throws CNFE for org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener.?

I tried to compile the 2.4.1 code with jdk 1.5 on my machine but failed with

[execmodules] C:\Documents and Settings\nollie\Desktop\jboss-portal-2.4.1-src
\common\src\main\org\jboss\portal\common\command\ReflectedConfigurator.java:69:
cannot find symbol
[execmodules] symbol : class NoSuchAttachmentException

A coworker was able to get around this ClassNotFoundException by copying the jsf-libs from an older installation (which I'm assuming matched 1.4 compiled code with 1.4 compiled code), but even with that hack she isn't able to get the portal up due to a missing generic layout.

Has anyone been able to use portal 2.4.1 with AS 4.2.0? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Have a look at: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Running2.6UnderJBoss4.2.x. While the information is for 2.6, it might work as well for 2.4. As far as I am aware, there are no plans to support 2.4 on 4.2...
