Hi,
Here is my setup and what I'm trying to do:
JBoss Portal 2.0.1 with JBoss 4.0.3 SP 1.
We have 2 portlets right now, which do quite a bit of work.
Portlet 1 is an alfresco web service portlet whcih displays content in the
portal by getting its data from alfresco cms.
Portlet 2 is a generic portlet which accepts an init parameter called URL which
displays content based on html and jsp files stores inside the WEB-INF
directory of our main portal war file.
We have 1 layout war file (that works)
We have 1 portal war file which contains the *-pages.xml and eric-portal.xml
files.
What I did first is have 2 war files. One for the layout and one for the
portal and portlets, and everything worked great. Then we decided that since
the JBoss portal and JSR-168 spec supports it, we were going to deploy each
portlet in its own war file, and put the portal 'display' data in its own war
file, hence how we came to the above layout.
Portlet 1 and 2 have their respective source files, and in WEB-INF have their
respective jboss-portlet.xml, jboss-web.xml, portlet-instances.xml, portlet.xml
and web.xml.
here is a sample of what is in the alfrescoCMSPortlet:
jboss-portlet.xml:
<portlet-app>
<portlet-name>WelcomePortlet</portlet-name>
<portlet-name>InfoPortlet</portlet-name>
<portlet-name>HelpPortlet</portlet-name>

web.xml is empty.
the eric.war file, which is supposed to be our main war file containing the
information about the portal contains the pages.xml files, and the
eric-portal.xml file which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portal-name>eric</portal-name>
<!-- Set the layout for the default portal -->
<!-- see also portal-layouts.xml -->
org.jboss.portal.property.layout

layouts) -->
<!-- see also portal-renderSet.xml -->
org.jboss.portal.property.renderSet

it also contains the jboss-app.xml:
<jboss-app>
<app-name>eric</app-name>
</jboss-app>
and jboss-web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 2.4//EN"
"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_4_0.dtd";>
<jboss-web>
<context-root>/eric</context-root>
</jboss-web>
When I start up, everything goes smoothly. No errors or exceptions reported.
When I hit the portal page, I get the layout with our menu etc... but no
portlets. The only message that shows up is the familliar:
[2006-02-13 10:47:52,872] Module ericLayout: Module is deployed successfully.
10:49:37,609 WARN [RegionTagHandler] requested page has no region [center]
10:49:37,609 WARN [RegionTagHandler] requested page has no region [right]
Which simply means that a page tried to load but there were no portlets to
diplay in the center or right regions.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong, or if even what we're trying to is even
possible, maybe we refactored the portlets out too far?
ANy help and clues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
R
