Enabling logging for Struts portal bridges
I wanted to enable the logging for struts portal bridges. I added a new log4j category for org.apache.portals with DEBUG level and also added a logfile definition . I find the log file is created but is empty. Forgive my ignorance, but is there some other configurations that I am missing? Any help very much appreciated.

Re: Jetspeed2 Portlet Development Example
I can not point you to a howto documentation, but the examples in the applications folder of the jetspeed distribution are good examples for portlets. As jetspeed2 supports jsr 168 portlets the spec is also a goog point to start. It contains documentation about the needed files for a portlet distribution. martin Clemens A mensik wrote: Hi Stephen, thx for asking the same question I wanted to post ;-) ...installed jetspeed 2 successfully I'm also looking for some kind of 'how to', that describes portlet developement up from scratch.

Re: Enabling logging for Struts portal bridges
Hema, The log4j logging configuration *within* jetspeed can/is only be used for *within* the jetspeed context. While the current configuration file still contains definitions for struts, myfaces etc., this is obsolete since we removed the global commons-logging and log4j jars (in $Tomcat/shared/lib for example). For your own portlet applications you must provide your own logging setup like putting log4j (and commons-logging if you want) in WEB-INF/lib and also provide your own log4j.properties/xml in WEB-INF/classes. I'm going over the jetspeed log4j.properties right now and will clean out several of these obsolete definitions as they definitely give the wrong signal. Thanks for bringing this up ;-) It'll be another small improvement of the M2 release. Remark: I do think it would be nice if we *could* provide a generic logging service for the portlet applications, but without getting into classloader problems on different platforms, right now I don't have a solid solution ready (although I have an idea which might work but it'll have to wait for now).

Re: Enabling logging for Struts portal bridges
Ate,
Thank you so much for clearing that out !!!. You are indeed a
lifesaver:) Well, your reply would amount to a newbie FAQ towards
logging as far as I am concerned.
With logging enabled, I could compare my application's action
processing in Jetspeed 2 and 1.6 to see why it is failing in JS1.6.
I find that withing Jetspeed2, the beans populate is called with all
the bean properties values, but with Jetspeed 1.6, I do not find the
bean properties. This results in validation failure, which ofcourse,
results in the failure. Well, that's a good start, now if only, I
could figure out why the bean populate/validation is failing in
Jetspeed1.6
The Jetspeed 1.6 logging clearly shows that the bean utils populate as
not having any properties, hence validation failure.

Jetspeed2 logging clearly shows the target bean values being set and
is successful. The set property will contain all the values of the
bean property.I am not sure why the bean properties are not available
within Jetspeed 1.6. Any Pointers?
Thanks,
Hema

FusionAccessController - Throwing Exception
I am trying to trace down an issue that I have with a Struts
application only in Jetspeed 1.6 with Fusion. Looking at the logs I
found an exception in the turbine log as follows.
2005-03-27 21:45:12,492 [http-8080-Processor23] ERROR JetspeedLoggingService -
java.lang.Exception: redirectingat
org.apache.jetspeed.fusion.modules.actions.FusionAccessController.doPerform(FusionAccessController.java:181)
at org.apache.turbine.modules.Action.perform(Action.java:87)
at org.apache.turbine.modules.ActionLoader.exec(ActionLoader.java:122)
at org.apache.turbine.Turbine.doGet(Turbine.java:529)
at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689)
at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
at
It appears that this exception is thrown within the doPerform() method
of FusionAccessController class. The method is as below
public void doPerform( RunData data ) throws Exception {
boolean throwit = false;
try
{
super.doPerform(data);
traverse(portlets, windowId, windowState, (JetspeedRunData)data);
throwit = true;
} else
}
...
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
t.printStackTrace();
log.error(error in fusion access controller, t);
}
finally
{
if (contextComponent != null context != null)
{
contextComponent.release(context);
}
if (throwit)
throw new Exception(redirecting);
}
}
It looks like throwit will be true at all times and the exception
will be thrown whenever the doPerform() method is called. I guess this
is related to changes in the navigational state. I am not sure
whether this exception is of any relevance to my problem, still
thought I would think out loud.
Thanks,
Hema

Re: J2 new deployment- How to undeploy an application?
Ate, If I understand it right, If I have an expanded infused war, I don't even need to deploy it in the Deploy directory. Instead dropping it in the webapps folder would be good enough. That's great. So if I do have an application that I need to 'portalize', I could modify the web.xml portlet.xml and drop it to in the webapps(ofcourse, assuming implementation of the app itself is as per spec) ready to be picked up as a JSR168 portlet. Great! Hema Ate Douma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A infused war can simply be dropped in your web/app server webapp folder and/or deployed any other way your web/app server requires. For the same reason, you can (hot) deploy an expanded *and infused* war yourself using the web/app server functionality. The new deployment model may seem more limited at first but actually its not. .. ~~ Hema Menon - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
