Problem when deploying Portlet in JBoss Portal

[bentabol]

Hello,

I downloaded JBoss Portal 2.6.4 from your page and I am using JBoss 4.2.2. GA as Application Server.

I want to use Portlets in the portal and I was following the Reference Guide of the JBoss Portal. I tried the example "HelloWorldJSFSunRIPortlet" and it worked properly. After that, I tried to create my own portlet in my Eclipse IDE, copying the folders and files of the example but it didn't work on deployment. I tried the same with the example "HelloWorldJSFMyFaces42Portlet" and I obtain the next error after deploying:

13:29:47,143 ERROR [STDERR] org.jboss.portal.portlet.container.PortletInitializationException: Portlet class not found org.apache.myfaces.portlet.MyFacesGenericPortlet

Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you in advance.

If you are using JSFRI portlet then you should be using jsf-portlet.jar not classes from myface. You can avoid this dependency if you use portletbridge. You can find information about bridge at http://www.jboss.org/portletbridge . It works with both myfaces and JSF-RI.

Hello Prabhat,

I obtained that problem when trying myfaces portlet, not JSFRI one. Anyway, I have two questions:

1. When using JSFRI portlet, that library should be in the WEB-INF of the portlet or in the server?

2. Do I need to have portletbridge in order to work with any of the technologies (JSFRI or myfaces)?

Thank you again.

I think these are the answers to my questions:

In the WEB-INF of the application. Am I wrong?

Only for Rich Faces.

Anyway I still have problems when developing JSFMyFaces Portlet. These are the libraries I have in the WEB-INF\lib folder of the application:

commons-beanutils
commons-digester
commons-el
commons-lang
myfaces-api
myfaces-impl

Are any missing? Should I add them to the \lib of the server?

Thank you!
