All,
I have become pretty frustrated trying to get this HelloWorld Portlet to
work. Here are the steps I followed to do the HelloWorld example...can
anyone tell me what I am doing wrong (bare in mind I'm a newbie at this and
still working on understanding all this)??
1. Created the portlet
/usr/local/etc/tomcat_3.2.3/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorldPortl
et.java file. Code is here....
import org.apache.jetspeed.portal.portlets.AbstractPortlet;
import org.apache.turbine.util.RunData;
import org.apache.ecs.*;
public class HelloWorldPortlet extends AbstractPortlet
{
publicConcreteElement getContent (RunData aRunData)
{
return (new StringElement ("Hello World!!"));
}
}
2. Compiled the code to the same directory to get a HelloWorldPortlet.class
file.
3. Created a file called
/usr/local/etc/tomcat_3.2.3/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/conf/local-portlets.xre
g with the following entry...
<portlet-entry name="HelloWorldPortlet" hidden="false" type="instance"
application="false">
<meta-info>
<title>Hello World Example</title>
</meta-info>
<classname>HelloWorldPortlet</classname>
<media-type ref="html"/>
</portlet-entry>
4. Added the following to the
/usr/local/Jetspeed-1.3a1/bin/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/jetspeed-config.jcfg...
<portlet-entry type="instance" name="HelloWorldPortlet">
<classname>HelloWorldPortlet</classname>
</portlet-entry>
5. Added the following code to
/usr/local/etc/tomcat_3.2.3/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/psml/anon/html/en/defau
lt.psml...
<portlets>
<entry type="ref" parent="HelloWorldPortlet"/>
</portlets>
Now...I am able to select the portlet from the list when I go to the 'Add
Portlets' section in Jetspeed. However, when I click on 'Save and Apply'
the portlet does NOT display on my homepage. I'm not sure if I am doing
something wrong or there is something that I have left out. Can anyone see
what I am doing wrong or maybe something that I have forgotten to do?? Any
help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Bob Wilson.
