RichFaces example application does not run in LifeRay 5.2.3+

[pjmlp]

Hi everyone,

not sure if the forum is the best place to ask this, but here it goes.

I have tried to run the RichFaces example application as a portlet, using the WAR file provided by Exadel here:

http://www.exadel.com/web/portal/jsfliferay

I am using the LifeRay on top of Tomcat combination.

Did anyone else tried such a Portal stack?

On my case I end up having a bunch of exceptions. :(

Thanks in advance,
Paulo

Distribution from Exadel site a little bit outdated. We recently released PotrtletBridge 2.0 that properly uses JSR 286 API and should work better with Liferay.
All examples have "liferay" profile, so portlets can be built my mvn -P liferay package command.

They still don't seem to work.

This is the stack trace I get with PortletBridge 2.0.0 Alpha, Tomcat 6.0 and LifeRay 5.2.3


I know that the 2.0.0 beta has already been release but I can't see it on the Maven repositories.

That seems like classloader isolation problem. According to stack trace, AjaxContext factory tries to install implementtation class, which is in the same web application, but that failed. That means what ContextClassLoader from portlet thread has no access to web application classes, that is Portlet contract violation.
I've tested these examples with Liferay portal /Jboss AS bundle only that has no classloader problem.
P.S. All Portletbridge releases are deployed to the Jboss maven repository: http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/

I am running it on top of Tomcat, thanks for your hint, I'll try to see if that is the problem.
