I've been having the same problem today. I was able to get a portlet working
with our oracle database using 1.3a1, but now I'm using the nightly builds
(1.3a2 ? ) so I can use Velocity.
I also created a local-portlet.xreg, and put it into the conf directory with
the portlet.xreg file ( Is that right?, I was going off of a previous email
of Bob's). I then created a servlet and put it into the class directory
classes/com/bp/pipelines_na/noms/actions/NewWebNoms.class (the package name
comforms to the dir structure), and I put a velocity template in the
templates directory with the other portlets vm's.
In the local-portlet.xreg how should I specify the servlet to be called?
Just the class name, or the how package name? Will Jetspeed transverse the
class directory untill it finds the file? I added my package to the
TurbineResource.properties file:
module.packages=com.bp.pipelines_na.noms.actions
When I look at the jetspeed log I can see the the portlet is getting
registered ( I assume that it's just reading the xreg file ), but when I
select the portlet to be used it is never called. Nothing in the logs about
exceptions, or anything.
Is there any updated documentation I should be looking at? I took the
HelloVelocity example from the portlets.xreg as a template.
Win2k setup.
Tomcat 3.x
