Help with IPC

[mikebutler]

I've tried to follow the example located here to perform some inter-portlet communication:
http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.6.2/referenceGuide/html/portalapi.html

However, I am getting a class loading issue:

--- MBeans waiting for other MBeans ---
ObjectName: portal:service=ListenerService,type=applet_listener
 State: FAILED
 Reason: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: asdf.AppletListener
 I Depend On:
 portal:service=ListenerRegistry

--- MBEANS THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM ---
ObjectName: portal:service=ListenerService,type=applet_listener
 State: FAILED
 Reason: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: asdf.AppletListener
 I Depend On:
 portal:service=ListenerRegistry

I'm deploying a war which contains a jar which contains this class. The package names are correct. I've tried with the listener being an inner class or its own class, no matter what I always get a class not found exception. Ideas?

The classes needed for the IPC must be placed in a jar inside lib directory under your VVV.sar directory (or inside your vvv.sar zip file if you are using packed deployment)

It was. The problem was that I was editing the jboss-service.xml for the portal app, instead of creating one for my own app.
