Hi,

I downloaded and installed Jboss portal 2.7.2, created a database user with appropriate permission.

Changed the hibernate dialect to oracle 10g and database driver to oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver.

However I am getting the below exception when starting jboss:

13:11:42,171 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not initialise deployment: file:/D:/jboss-portal-2.7.2/server/default/deploy/jboss-portal.sar/portal-wsrp.sar/default-wsrp.xml

Caused by: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-02289: sequence does not exist

I tried to create the sequences manuall using the below command but it was no good:

create sequence hibernate_sequence;

create sequence portal_seq;

create sequence sec_seq;

create sequence instance_seq;

create sequence portlet_seq;

create sequence user_seq;

Below is the portal-oracle-ds.xml entries

<datasources>

  <local-tx-datasource>

    <jndi-name>PortalDS</jndi-name>

    <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:jbossportal/jbossportal@localhost:1521/XE</connection-url>

    <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</driver-class>

    <user-name>jbossportal</user-name>

    <password>jbossportal</password>

  </local-tx-datasource>

</datasources>

and these are the SQL statements I used to create the user for Jboss portal:

create user jbossportal identified by jbossportal;

create temporary tablespace jboss_portal_temp tempfile 'C:\oraclexe\oradata\XE\jboss_portal_temp.dbf' SIZE 200M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 5120K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;

create tablespace jboss_portal_sys datafile 'C:\oraclexe\oradata\XE\jboss_portal_sys.dbf' size 200M reuse autoextend on next 5120k maxsize unlimited;

ALTER USER jbossportal temporary tablespace jboss_portal_temp default tablespace jboss_portal_sys quota unlimited on jboss_portal_sys;

GRANT CREATE SESSION TO jbossportal;

GRANT ALTER ANY TABLE to jbossportal;

GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE to jbossportal;

GRANT UPDATE ANY TABLE to jbossportal;

GRANT DROP ANY TABLE to jbossportal;

GRANT CREATE ANY SEQUENCE to jbossportal;

GRANT ALTER ANY SEQUENCE to jbossportal;

GRANT DROP ANY SEQUENCE to jbossportal;

GRANT SELECT ANY SEQUENCE to jbossportal;

and I have placed ojdbc6.jar in JBOSS_HOME\server\default\lib folder....

Any idea where I am going wrong ? Any help would greatly be appreciated,
