Extending a portal

[andre.winkler]

I have tried to extend the default portal from GateIn. I have a project with a web.xml with the following content:

<web-app>

  <display-name>testPortal</display-name>

  <listener>

    <listener-class>org.exoplatform.container.web.PortalContainerConfigOwner</listener-class>

  </listener>

</web-app>

In which xml file do I have to add the testPortal name in the dependencies list of GateIn. I can not find a file with the portal definition.

[mwringe]

what exactly are you trying to do?

[trong.tran]

Here is a sample for the portal definition configuration : http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/gatein/portal/tags/3.0.0-GA/examples/extension/config/src/main/java/conf/configuration.xml

are you trying to find such file ?

[andre.winkler]

The content of the configuration file is clear, but where I have to place this file, in my WAR in a JAR, in a tomcat directory?

[trong.tran]

There are two options for you :

- in the a JAR/conf/configuration.xml file which will be added to library folder of web server

- define it in the external configuration file of GateIn, for example : {tomcat}/gatein/conf/configuration.xml

for the extern portal, you can copy the data from gatein-sample-portal.ear.

Alle files, which are necessary for a portal is included in this package.

In my case, i create the ear file with name "gatein-mysample-portal.ear"

To change the name of portal for example "myexample", you should make changes in the following locations.

your-portal-package.ear

     ->META-INF->application.xml

               <display-name>myexample</display-name>

               <web>

                         ........

                         <context-root>myexample</context-root>

               </web>

      ->sample-portal.war(could be different name, but the war for the portal)\WEB-INF\web.xml

               <display-name>myexample</display-name>

      ->exo.portal.sample.portal.config-3.1.0-GA.jar(could be different name, but the jar for the portal)\conf\configuration.xml

               <init-params>

                    <object-param>

                         <name>myexample</name>

               .........

               <field name="name">

                         <string>myexample</string>

               </field>

                    ............

               <collection type="java.util.ArrayList">

               .........

               <value>

                    <string>myexample<string>

in my case, i have just overwrite the original gatein-sample-portal.ear. It works.

But it seems, that if i create two "sample portal".ear, it could bring confict.

I just followed Amao's steps, and get the following error:
