Packaging portlets for deployment

[webmascon]

I have 10 portlets for a portal

I can deploy them one by one as WAR files - and this is working fine.

But how about deploying all 10 portlets as a single package?

I tried to use EAR package: JBoss portal deployed all portlets, but when I tried http://localhost:8080/portal/ I got a huge transaction exception

Is there any way to roll out all portlets in a package?

Yes, this is no problem. You can package all of your portlets inside a single .war file.

You'll just define each portlet in your (single) portlet.xml file:

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

<display-name>PortletOne</display-name>
<portlet-class>org.springframework.web.portlet.DispatcherPortlet</portlet-class>


<display-name>PortletTwo</display-name>
<portlet-class>org.springframework.web.portlet.DispatcherPortlet</portlet-class>

</portlet-app>

See the relevant portlet spec (either jsr168 or 286) for your portal server version. Hope this is helpful.
