Actually some html and jsp files that i use in both the portal folders are common. I dont care about the xreg files even though they are common i can put them in two folders. But i want to have a common location for the html and jsp files that i use inside the IFramePortlets. Plus i want to put the jetspeed related jar files and the class files that are inside the WEB-INF/classes folder instead of copying them in both the portal folders. When i put the jar files related to jetspeed inside a tomcat/common lib folder after removing them from the jetspeed_home/WEB-INF/lib folder the portal pages cant find the class files. Is there a particular properties file where i need to specify the path of the jar files and class files? As when i create a new folder for a new portal inside the tomcat/webapps folder it is assumed that the jetspeed_home folder starts form there. So every file it looks inside jetspeed_home/ it doesnt load if the files are in a upper directory than the jetspeed_home folder. Did you get it what i mean to say? I have tomcat_home/webapps and then two portal folders which are two jetspeed_home folder... I dont know where exactly i need to specify the path information for the common files... Thanks a lot for the information and help Gloria

Can you elaborate on the kind of portlets that you want to share? (RSS, ...) If you want a usable solution, I would recommend just to duplicate the java classes and have the urls used (say RSS files, OCF feeds) served from a common document repository. This could even work for other files in WEB-INF, like xregs, if properly configured (I'm not sure at all). You would made properties pointing to those resources to an absolute URL like http://localhost/blah/blah and then you configure all similar properties, and say your web server to *only* serve these requests from localhost to avoid serving the source code of your templates, RSS files, etc. I'm not sure it could ever be made work with JSP. Compilation makes it much trickier. With Velocity it will not work due to assumption that templates are files in JetspeedTemplateLocatorService.java If you arrive further with this approach, please report back. ;-) WARNING: untested advice! don't blame me if it does not work. > > Where shud i specify the path for accessing common files by both the portals? > > I tried to use tomcat shared folder and put the jar files and some common files >there but the jetspeed home cant access them? Funny, it should work for the classes. WRT common files, what files do you mean?
