Yes, you do need to remove all redirects. Portlets don't like them. :-) I attached the old portlet_quick_start document. There are instructions for converting a JSF app to a JSF portlet. I'm not sure why it is no longer included on the MyFaces site.

Make sure your JSF MyFaces application runs as a stand-alone servlet. 2. Remove any redirects from your faces-config.xml. Portlets can not handle these. 3. Create a Portlet WAR as per the instructions for your Portlet container. Make sure it contains everything that was included in step 1. 4. Update your portlet.xml file as follows: <!-- You must use this Portlet impl class --> <portlet-class>org.apache.myfaces.portlet.MyFacesGenericPortlet</portlet-class> <!-- The "home page" of your JSF application --> <!-- This is a required param. --> <init-param> <name>default-view</name> <value>/some_view_id_from_faces-config</value> </init-param> <!-- A class name that implements org.apache.myfaces.portlet.DefaultViewSelector --> <!-- This optional param is used if your want to choose different default views --> <!-- based on some condition. You still must specify default-view above, but --> <!-- this impl will take precedence. --> <init-param> <name>default-view-selector</name> <value>com.foo.MyViewSelector</value> </init-param>
