I'm trying to install forums using jboss-forums-2.2.2-CR1 and get the following error when deploying:

2007-01-11 14:13:46,648 DEBUG [org.jboss.deployment.SARDeployer] create operation failed for package file:/C:/Program Files/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy/portal-forums.ear/portal-forums.sar/

The AS and portal where installed using jems-installer-1.2.0.CR1 on Windows2000 so that makes the AS version 4.0.5 but the portal version is unknown but suspect it may be 2.4.

Apparently this is the only combo that works with the wiki (installed from jbosswiki-beta2-2.4-bin) which we require for our project.

The error is similar to an earlier posting regarding image gallery portlet:

This question is regarding the image gallery portlet.

Is there a way to get this portlet to work with portal version 2.4 GA?

When I try to load the portlet in this portal I get the follwing error:

15:33:53,031 INFO [EARDeployer] Init J2EE application: file:/C:/jboss4.04/server/fishmas/deploy/portal-imagegallery.ear
ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not create deployment: file:/C:/jboss4.04/server/fishmas/tmp/deploy/tmp24585portal-imagegallery.ear-contents/portal-imagegallery.sar
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: No ClassLoaders found for: org.jboss.portal.core.hibernate.SessionFactoryBinder; - nested throwable: (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: org.jboss.portal.core.hibernate.SessionFactoryBinder)

Is there perhaps a way to make this class available so this portlet might run?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Both errors appear to be caused by missing class org.jboss.portal.core.hibernate.SessionFactoryBinder

Is it just a simple matter of including this class in the distro and if so can we except a fix soon or is there a more serious problem.

Many thanks,

Tom
