Hi,
I am using boss 4.0.5 server.
i have created 3 xml files.

<deployments>
 <deployment>
 <if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
 <parent-ref>main</parent-ref>
 <page>
 <page-name>dummy-Home</page-name>

 <window>
 <window-name>dummy-HeaderPortletWindow</window-name>
 <instance-ref>dummy-HeaderPortletInstance</instance-ref>
 <region>header</region>
 <height>0</height>

 </property>
 <property>
 <name>theme.portletRendererId</name>
 <value>emptyRenderer</value>
 </property>
 </properties>
 </window>
 </page>
 </deployment>
</deployments>

portlet-instances.xml

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

</deployments>

portlet.xml

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

 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-ap
p_1_0.xsd"
 version="1.0">


<portlet>
 <portlet-name>dummy-HeaderPortlet</portlet-name>
 <portlet-class>com.PortletDefinitiion</portlet-class>
 <supports>
 <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
 <portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
 </supports>
 <portlet-info>
 <title>Header Portlet</title>
 </portlet-info>
</portlet>

</portlet-app>

jboss-app.xml, jboss-portlet.xml, jboss-web.xml files are also available in web-inf folder.

After starting the server when i try to run the app'http://localhost/portal/portal/main/dummy-Home', it says 'Object not found dummy-HeaderPortletInstance'

Please help me to solve this problem.

Maybe you have wrote an error for the class of your portlet.
Check com.PortletDefinitiion in portlet.xml:

<portlet>
 <portlet-name>dummy-HeaderPortlet</portlet-name>
 <portlet-class>com.PortletDefinitiion</portlet-class>
 <supports>
 <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
 <portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
 </supports>
 <portlet-info>
 <title>Header Portlet</title>
 </portlet-info>
</portlet>

It seems an error.

Hope this helps.

Hi

'PortletDefinitiion' is the class file in my 'com' folder.
So i dont think that is the problem.
I think i am missing something, may be very small issue but not able to figure out. :(

Which version of JBoss Portal are you using?

Try logging is as admin and go to the admain protal/page and look up first your portlet, then your portlet instance, and then finally the portlet object/window. That might give you a better clue as to where the issue is.
