Portal example errors with 4.0.4CR2 and Portal 2.4

ariggz Apr 28, 2006 12:23 AM

I am having trouble with the portal example. I am installing the the latestest CVS seam with portal 2.4 and jboss AS 4.0.4CR2.

I am experiencing the following error:

00:00:44,917 INFO [MyFacesGenericPortlet] PortletContext 'C:\Program Files\jboss-4.0.4.CR2\server\default\.\tmp\deploy\tmp39083jboss-seam-hibernate-exp.war\' initialized.

1. Re: Portal example errors with 4.0.4CR2 and Portal 2.4

ariggz Apr 30, 2006 9:04 PM (in response to ariggz)
I was able to get the portlet example to work using JBossAS 4.0.4CR2, JBoss Portal 2.2.1, and jboss-seam-1.0.0.CR2 by with following:

Install JBossAS 4.0.4CR2 with the installer, selecting EJB
Copy jboss-portal.sar and portal-hsqldb-ds.xml from the binary download of JBoss Portal 2.2.1 into jboss-4.0.4.CR2\server\default

Modify the jboss-service.xml per:

I just had the same problem with 4.0.4RC2 and found a fix:

Open the xml-file 'JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jboss-portal.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml' in an editor.

Search for ...
name="portal:service=TreeCache,type=transient"

... and add the line ...
<depends>jboss:service=TransactionManager</depends>

... to the contents of the TreeCache mbean.

I never could get it to work using jboss-portal-2.4 from CVS. Are the instructions in the readme.txt wrong, or am I just to green to read them correctly?
