Can anyone on earth help with this - i have been trying to get Jetspeed2 working for 3 days now! - i've gone to http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed- 2/getting-started.html and downloaded Maven onto C:\maven-2.0.4 with the respository automatically downloading to C:\Documents and Settings\dimen01\.m2 \repository, i've downlaoded ANT 1.5 at C:\apache-ant-1.6.5 - both maven and ANT are installed (ant -version and maven--version give results at DOS prompt) - i've also changed the PATH variable in environmental varibales (Control panel->System->Advanced->environmental variables->%PATH% to C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12\bin;C:\apache-ant-1.6.5\bin;C:\maven-2.0.4\bin;), i've downloaded the 'installer' version at http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed- 2/getting-started-installer.html to C:\Program Files\Apache Jetspeed 2.0, started startup.bat, went to http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal and walla, there she was! - so far so good right? - anyway, logged on as 'admin', password 'admin', changed password and logged in again - great! - so far so good! - so navigated around to see how i could test my installation - see a 'simplest portal in the world' example i could try out at http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/guides/guide-simple-portlet.html - followed these steps but couln't execute the maven command 'javac -cp ~/.maven/repository/org.apache.portals.jetspeed-2/jars/portlet-api-1.0.jar Simplest.java' though got around this by putting the portlet-api path in the CLASSPATH variable in the autoexec.bat system file in the C directory (Windows Explorer->Tools->folder Options->View->DETICK 'hide protected operating system files (recommended)' option->goto C directory->right click on autoexec.bat and choose 'edit'->add path -
set PATH=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12\bin;%PATH% set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12 set CLASSPATH=.;C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;C:\jakarta- tomcat-5.5.9\common\lib\jsp-api.jar;C:\Servlets+JSP;..;..\..;C:\jakarta-struts- 1.2.4\lib\struts.jar;C:\Program Files\Apache Jetspeed 2.0\shared\lib\portlet- api-1.0.jar) so i could compile simplest.java – the following steps were then taken - created simplest folder at C:\Program Files\Apache Jetspeed 2.0 \webapps\simplest – - Compiled simplest.java in C:\Program Files\Apache Jetspeed 2.0 \webapps\simplest\WEB-INF\classes\simplest.class - created web.xml and portlet.xml in C:\Program Files\Apache Jetspeed 2.0 \webapps\simplest\WEB-INF - from DOS prompt, goto C:\Program Files\Apache Jetspeed 2.0\webapps\simplest and deploy the war using “jar cvf ../simplest.war .” Now, the C:\Program Files\Apache Jetspeed 2.0\webapps directory contains the simplest.war and the webapps/simplest folder is empty – I copied this simplest.war file to the /webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/deploy folder – on the Tomcat output I get…something like ‘INFO: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext [/simplest]’ but on the deployment log, I see that it has been deployed! I tried to goto to the Portlet Application manager and add simplest portlet that way (http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal/_ns:YXBhbS0yfGMx/Administrative/pam.psml ) but no luck! – couldn’t see it to add it? – so I went to the next step in the tutorial and tried creating the simplest.psml – created this and added it ‘exactly’ according to the tutorial if anyone wants to have a look – and added it to the webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/pages directory – but when I went to http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal/simplest.psml, I got that awful error: Title Error: Cannot pass a null PortletDefinition to a PortletEntity. Failed to retrieve Portlet Definition for simplest::SimplestFailed to retrieve Portlet Definition for simplest::Simplestjava.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot pass a null PortletDefinition to a PortletEntity.Failed to retrieve Portlet Definition for simplest::SimplestFailed to retrieve Portlet Definition for simplest::Simplest PLEASE CAN ANYONE OUT THERE RESCUE ME? – I’ve been reading up on the web and a lot of people have this initial problem when starting with Jetspeed2 – there was an especially helpful bolg on this site but they seemed to get it sorted! – how luck was that? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
