    Help wanted: How do I deploy multiple portlets in a war file

      Hi,

      How do I deploy multiple portlets in a war? Currently I have a .war file (referenced in jboss-app.xml) with 2 portlets defined. The portlets are registered and show up in the menu but display blank page when clicked on the portlet links.

      If I have only one portlet in the .war everything works fine but when I put 2 together I get a blank page. Currently my jboss-app.xml looks as shown below,

      <jboss-app>
      <app-name>myPortlets</app-name>
      </jboss-app>

      where myPortlets is name of the war file.

      Thanx

          portlet-instances.xml 

          <instances>
 <instance>
 <instance-name>HelloWorldPortletInstance</instance-name>
 <component-ref>HelloWorldPortlet</component-ref>
 </instance>
 <instance>
 <instance-name>HelloWorldPortletInstance2</instance-name>
 <component-ref>HelloWorldPortlet2</component-ref>
 </instance>
</instances>


          *-pages.xml 


          <pages>
 <portal-name>default</portal-name>
 <page>
 <page-name>helloworld</page-name>
 <window>
 <window-name>HelloWorldPortletWindow</window-name>
 <instance-ref>helloworld.HelloWorldPortlet.HelloWorldPortletInstance</instance-ref>
 <default>true</default>
 <region>left</region>
 <height>2</height>
 </window>
 <window>
 <window-name>HelloWorldPortletWindow2</window-name>
 <instance-ref>helloworld.HelloWorldPortlet2.HelloWorldPortletInstance2</instance-ref>
 <region>left</region>
 <height>1</height>
 </window>
 </page>


</pages>



          That worked for me as a small test. I took the same class-File both portlets. The first part of the <instance-ref> in *-pages-xml has to be the jboss-app name so it is the same for both portlets.
