Source code for ShoppingCart and ShoppingCatalog portlets

[sdf1]

I use JBoss Portal 2.7.2 (JDK 1.5, Eclipse Ganymade SR1 and MySQL 5.0) and I need source code for this two portals: ShoppingCart and ShoppingCatalog. I found this six JAVA files, here: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/modules/portlet/tags/JBP_PORTLET_2_0_8/samples/src/main/java/org/jboss/portal/portlet/samples/shoppingcart/. Is this enough for these two portlets?

These files should be integred into the Eclipse project and to upgrade with AJAX and JSF (Richfaces-Ajax4JSF). Could I use all files in same Eclipse project for two portlets, or each portlet in a separate project?

Could someone explain me, how to connect JBoss Portal with MySQL Server? And, how to connect this two portlets with database?

I haven't used those portlets so I cannot comment on whether that is all the code you need or not.

You can place both portlets into a single project.

To configure a database for Portal see http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.7.1/referenceGuide/html/installation.html#d0e927

Accessing a database within a portlet is no different from accessing a database within any other app deployed to the app server. Specifically how you go about it depends on the data access technology (i.e., JPA, Hibernate, JDBC). However, I recommend that you do not use the same database used by the Portal, you should create a separate database and a separate *-ds.xml file to access it.

I have problem with deploying portlet into JBoss Portal. When I put portlet.war into folder: jboss/server/default/deploy, I get this message on console:

00:23:30,642 ERROR [LifeCycle] Cannot start object org.jboss.portal.portlet.container.PortletInitializationException: The portlet ShoppingCatalog_Portlet threw a runtime exception during init

etc...

Does anyone from these lines can tell me why not to deploy portlet?
