Yes, I was overlooking the obvious. Probably the best way to deploy two (or more) instances of a portlet is with multiple portlet elements in portlet.xml, so you end up with something like this:
| <portlet-app ...> | <portlet> | <portlet-name>MyPortlet</portlet-name> | <portlet-class>com.unisys.portlets.ThePortlet</portlet-class> | <!-- portlet configuration goes here, | like title, init-params, preferences, etc. --> | </portlet> | <portlet> | <portlet-name>YourPortlet</portlet-name> | <portlet-class>com.unisys.portlets.ThePortlet</portlet-class> | <!-- portlet configuration goes here, | like title, init-params, preferences, etc. --> | </portlet> | </portlet-app> | There are at least 2 advantages to solving the problem this way: 1) You can change almost anything configurable: the title, init-params, preferences; anything in portlet.xml 2) It's JSR-168 compliant and so it should be portable Alternatively, there are a couple of JBoss Portal-specific ways you can solve the problem but they only allow you to override Preferences and not other attributes like the portlet title. The first Portal-specific way is to override preferences in the *-object.xml file, documented here:http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.2/reference-guide/en/html/xmldescriptors.html#d0e860 The other way is to use the JBoss Portal management portlet to create multiple instances of a portlet and then override preferences, documented here: http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.2/user-guide/en/html/dynamicity.html#d0e1177 Regards, Scott Dawson Unisys View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3935663#3935663 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3935663 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
