[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-244?page=comments#action_12426001 ] Elliot Metsger commented on PLUTO-244: --------------------------------------
To fix this issue, modify <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/pluto/WEB-INF/classes/castor.properties and change the value of org.exolab.castor.parser.namespaces to "false". Restart Tomcat and then you should be able to deploy a 2.4 web.xml that contains namespaces. > Pluto Admin portlet cannot deploy portlets which use a servlet 2.4 web.xml > with namespaces > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PLUTO-244 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-244 > Project: Pluto > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: portlets-admin > Affects Versions: 1.0.1 > Environment: Pluto 1.0.2 branch (r429058 - contains PLUTO-216 and > PLUTO-219), Tomcat 5.5.17, Ubuntu Linux, Sun JRE 1.5.0_06 > Reporter: Elliot Metsger > Priority: Minor > > The pluto admin portlet can deploy portlets with servlet 2.3 and servlet 2.4 > web.xml descriptors. However, it can only deploy 2.4 web.xml descriptors > that do not utilize namespaces. > For example, deploying a portlet with a descriptor like the one below > succeeeds: > <web-app version="2.4"> > <display-name>Servlet 2.4 Webapp</display-name> > <description>A 2.4 Servlet</description> > </web-app> > But deploying a portlet with a descriptor using namespaces fails: > <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; > xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee > http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"; > version="2.4"> > <display-name>Servlet 2.4 Webapp</display-name> > <description>A 2.4 Servlet</description> > </web-app> > And you will see this in the log: > SEVERE: Error in Portlet > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.pluto.invoker.impl.PortletInvokerImpl.invoke(PortletInvokerImpl.java:109) > at > org.apache.pluto.invoker.impl.PortletInvokerImpl.load(PortletInvokerImpl.java:80) > at > org.apache.pluto.PortletContainerImpl.portletLoad(PortletContainerImpl.java:218) > > ... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
