GateIn 3.1 and WSRP

[tobiashofmann]

Anyone succeeded in consuming remote portlets in GateIn?

I'm trying to consume portlets via WSRP. For producer and consumer I'm using GateIn 3.1.0. The connection between producer and consumer was done and activated. But I cannot consume a portlet deployed on the producer.

I'm using the JBoss sample helloworld portlet from: http://www.jboss.org/portletswap/downloads/samples.html

As suggested by the GatIn documentation: http://docs.jboss.com/gatein/portal/3.1.0-FINAL/reference-guide/en-US/html/wsrp.html I added the remotable part to: portlet.xml
<container-runtime-option>
  <name>org.gatein.pc.remotable</name>
  <value>true</value>
</container-runtime-option>

and depolyed the WAR (GateIn-3.1.0-GA/server/default/deploy)
-> WAR got deployed sucessfully.

Refreshed the Application Registry on the prodcuer and I can use the helloworld portlet on the producer. After refreshing the application registry refresh on the consumer the portlet won't show up.

I also added <container-runtime-option> to jboss-portlet.xml, but with the same result.

How do I deploy a portlet so that it get's recognized as a remotable portlet?

Is the consumer really activated? You need to refresh the consumer and make sure that it's active to be able to import remote portlets into the application registry.

Do you get any kind of errors on the console?

Note also that jboss-portlet.xml is completely useless in GateIn and can be removed.

Hi Chris,

I think the consumer is activated. I create the connection:

On the producer:
WSRP properties: all 3 checkboxes are activated

On the consumer:
Create a consumer named: gatein192 -> Create consumer
Cache exp: 10000
Producer WSDL URL: http://192.168.92.1:8080/wsrp-producer/MarkupService?wsdl
-> Refresh and save

The consumer is shown in green and as activated

Log
Producer: nothing shows up
Consumer: WARN message like: Trying to resolve systemId as a non-file URL: http://producer/MarkupService?wsdl&resource=wsrp_v1_types.xsd

INFO: Consumer with id gatein192 started
INFO: Consumer with id gatein192 activated

On the consumer, I go to Application registry -> import applications
Remote portlet won`t show up under Remote

WSRP configuration:
Reload Consumers -> Refresh -> gatein192 shows up in green and as activated
Refresh, Deactivate, Activate, Register, Deregister, always the same result: the portlet won`t show up on the consumer.

The log of the producer shows nothing, the consumer only shows normal messages (registrated, etc)

And you're sure that you've properly deployed remotable portlets on the producer?

Hi Chris,

I deployed it as described in my first post (modified WAR -> portlet.xml and copied it to producer -> server\default\deploy and I can use the portlet in the producer).

The portlet.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portlet-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd /opt/SUNWps/dtd/portlet.xsd"
             version="1.0">
   <portlet>
      <portlet-name>HelloWorldPortlet</portlet-name>
      <portlet-class>org.jboss.portlet.hello.HelloWorldPortlet</portlet-class>
      <supports>
         <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
         <portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
      </supports>
      <portlet-info>
         <title>HelloWorld Portlet</title>
      </portlet-info>
    <container-runtime-option>
         <name>org.gatein.pc.remotable</name>
         <value>true</value>
      </container-runtime-option>
   </portlet>
</portlet-app>

I think there should be errors on the console. container-runtime-option is only supported on JSR-286 compliant portlets and the version of the spec you're declaring in the portlet.xml file is version 1. Try updating the namespaces, schemas and version to the appropriate JSR 286 versions. That might be the problem.

Chris,

you are right, changing the XML made the portlet remotable.

http://docs.jboss.com/gatein/portal/3.1.0-FINAL/reference-guide/en-US/html/wsrp.html

-> Example 7.1

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

didn't work. It gave me errors that the JAR file of the portlet wasn't there (IOException) I had to use:

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

On the consumer, I can see new the portlet when doing an refresh of the application registry and can add to a category and to a page, but when accessing the page I get:

(Consumer): NoSuchPortletException: No such portlet /helloworldportlet.helloworldportlet.HelloWorldPortlet
