Hi all,
some time ago there was a lot discussion about problems with the beginners
HelloWorldPortlet. Even though recommended to put the class file into the
Web-inf/classes directory, this didn't work for us. However, we found a solution,
which we like to share. If there are other prossibilities, please let us know.
We run Jetspeed 1.3a1 under WinNT. The trick is, to make a module and than a jar file,
which can be put in the jetspeed/lib directory as there also the jetspeed.jar resides.
But step by step:
Portlet installation or
How to solve java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
Step by step solution:
1. Develope your portlet with a package identifier (important!).
>> package myPortlet; // just as an example name
import org.apache.jetspeed.portal.portlets.AbstractPortlet;
import ...
public class newPortlet extends AbstractPortlet
{
...
}
2. Make a jar file (assuming that you have a myPortlet directory which contains
newPortlet.class):
c:\jar cvf myJar.jar myPortlet
3. Copy myJar.jar into your jetspeed/web-inf/lib directory
4. Open the jetspeed configuration file 'TurbineResources.properties' and add your
package (myPortlet)
in the 'Modul Packages' section (obviously you cann add all your privte protlets
into this module):
module.packages=myPortlet;org.apache.jetspeed.modules,...
5. Open the jetspeed registration file 'jetspeed-config.jcfg' and add your Portlet:
<portlet-entry type="instance" name="newPortlet" hidden="true">
<classname>newPortlet</classname>
</portlet-entry>
6. Restart 'tomcat' and 'jetspeed', that's all!
Gr�sse/Best Regards
