JBoss Portal + DWR

[lvcster]

hi y'all. Could anyone please help with intergrating JBoss Portal with DWR. I know how how each works separately. If anyone has done a simple working portal on this before, could you please help.

Thanks in advance.

hi, thanks for the link. But i have 1 problem, i downloaded the zip file on from the link and deployed it into the JBoss, and opened the http://localhost:8080/portal, i can see the portlet - nice. but when i click on it, it just opens the blank page with the disclaimer 'Powered by JBoss Portal'. So i can't go on and test if the DWR is working or not. Any idea what can be the problem?

Another thng this code displayed from the link you gave me...
<script type="text/javascript"src='/dwr/interface/Destination.js'>



is different from the 1 that comes with the war file...




which is the most working 1.

thanks.

I don't know about the demo but I was able to get DWR 2 and 3 running in a portlet.

Assuming the dwr definition is packaged in your portlet (called 'myPortlet')
First, go to /myPortlet/dwr/ and verify the debug pages display and the remote methods and DTOs look correct.

Then in my portlet's JSP I added this:

 <script src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/dwr/interface/MyRemote.js"
 type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/dwr/engine.js"
 type="text/javascript"></script>

and I can call the "MyRemote" methods just as if it were a WAR. Don't forget you need the servlet definition in your web.xml. In my case I used the DwrSpringServlet so I didn't have a dwr.xml, just a bean definition.

Also recommend using FireFox + FireBug extension to debug any client-side problems.
