Create a new Portal Object through the API?

[shazzaam]

Is it possible to create a new portal object by using the API? I was looking through the documentation but didn't see anything.

Thanks!

Hi
it is possible to create portal instance, and you have to mention inthe *-object.xml file
for example see this file


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>



<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
<parent-ref/>

<portal-name>Flex</portal-name>


<page-name>MyPage</page-name>

<window-name>FlexcalljspWindow</window-name>
<instance-ref>FlexcalljspInstance</instance-ref>
left
0






<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
<parent-ref>Flex</parent-ref>

<page-name>default</page-name>

<window-name>FlexcalljspWindow</window-name>
<instance-ref>FlexcalljspInstance</instance-ref>
left
0









see the above example file, you can access by using the url..

http://localhost:8080/portal/portal/Flex


try this

<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
<parent-ref/>

<portal-name>Flex</portal-name>


<page-name>MyPage</page-name>

<window-name>FlexcalljspWindow</window-name>
<instance-ref>FlexcalljspInstance</instance-ref>

<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>

Hi,

So I was actually hoping to use the API library to add a new Portal instance through my Portlet's interface (similar to how the Core-Admin portlet works, you enter a Portal Name in a text box and it creates a new Portal)

Is that Possible?

Thanks!

Yah we can create new portal instance by specifying in *-object.xml
