Hi,

I tried to create an instance of a remote portlet through xml and not through management portlet interface. I created a *-instances.xml file where i defined the instance as



<instance-id>MyRemotePortletInstance</instance-id>
<portlet-ref>{producer-id}.{remoteappname}.{portletname}</portlet-ref>




when I deploy this into jboss portal, the portal container is trying to lookup the portlet after appending the {localappname} to the portlet-ref. So it is trying to lookup something like {localappname}.{producer-id}.{remoteappname}.{portletname} and giving out an error that the portlet is not found.

Is there a way to create instances of a remote portlet through xml descriptors?
