Deault Portal 2.7.0-GA (Removing SimplestHelloWorld)

lloy0076 Nov 15, 2008 10:37 PM

Here's how I got to where I am:

Install JBoss 4.2.3GA (JDK 1.6)
Install Portlet 2.7.0GA
Configure MySQL
Fiddle settings in run.conf because JBoss was running out of PermGen space
Look at user guide, then do 'mvn package' and 'cp target/Hello*war /opt/jboss/server/default/deploy/'
Satisfied SimplestHelloWord is working

My issue is that I don't know how to delete it. I've tried deleting the instance from the Portal tab (not the dashboard). It seems removing Simplest*war from the deploy directory does get rid of the portlet but the navigation tab is still there (but clicking on it doesn't show any output, just a blank tab) and I can't, for the life of me, work out what puts it there.

I've looked through the reference guide and user guide and figure that I'm missing something really obvious but I'm not sure what.

This is known "limitation" of JBoss Portal. If you deploy war containing *-object.xml, it's a one way process unless you use Portal's admin UI. Simply undeploying the war wont get rid of the tab.

Thanks for that information - it seems that if I go to the Portal Object tab in the admin, then the Default object, and delete it from there it is no longer on the front page.

I could swear I looked there yesterday but this morning's fresh eyes saw it!

Thanks for the clarification too :)
