Deploying custom portlet
Hello,
I have custom portlet which is packaged in war file.
xml files I added were:
portlet.xml - which defines xml for my portlet
web.xml - copied it from jetspeed dir deployed in
tomcat (I hope thats how to package)
added entry to default-page.psml as APPID::portletid
I see on default page a window for my porlet but it
does not seem to be getting called.
I dont know exactly what all I need to get a basic
portlet working. I added System.out.println messages
but nothing printed to console. Neither log4j is any
help since I believe my portlet is not called at all.
Some thing related to jetspeed unable to find it.
Any one would like more info let me know and I can
provide you with war file etc.
Miten.

Re: Deploying custom portlet

Hi Miten,
There are some other quirks that I've encountered on my installation.
Admittedly, I've not been doing portlet work for long. Still, my
development box is XP, I'm running tomcat 5.0.28 with jdk 1.5.
Jetspeed's backed by a MySQL db. I've had your experience as well. My
problems worked themselves out, but there were a few quirks that I
didn't see documented:
1. When I redeploy a warfile, jetspeed does not remove the old webapp
and install the new one over it. I shut down tomcat5, delete my portlet
webapp directory, build the warfile to jetspeed's deploy directory and
restart. I've also had to do a maven db.recreate fairly regularly
because the removal of my apps doesn't seem to go smoothly. I'm sure
these are basic configuration issues on my system, but I haven't taken
the time to figure them out yet.
2. Some of the documentation suggests that if you have a j2eedeployer
(or something like that) user and password specified in your
build.properties file in USER_HOME it will automatically connect to the
Catalina manager app for removals and installs. This isn't true. You
need to add those properties to jetspeed's properties file
(WEB-INF/conf/jetspeed.properties). Actually, you're supposed to add
them to override.properties from what I read, but I haven't done that so
I can't say that it works.
3. Scott's response probably fixes your problem. ;) I just wanted to
add these to the list for headache reduction purposes.

Marina,
Your web.xml advise worked out good. Wiki is kind of
lame and overlooks such questions. I am having
session problems now. Session attributes set in
portlet are not visible in jsp.

Re: Deploying custom portlet
Posted by M P <pp...@yahoo.com>.
It's a stupid question, but where did you deploy your
WAR into?
Make sure it is
$TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\deploy dir, and
NOT $TOMCAT_HOME\webapps dir (which you would use for
deploying normal web apps)
I'm asking only because I made this mistake myself :)
If that's not the case - what is in your web.xml file?
You could leave it pretty much empty (have <web-app>
and <display-name> only and whatever params you need)
and let Jetspeed inject it with necessary entries...

Re: Deploying custom portlet
Posted by miten mehta <im...@yahoo.com>.
Hello,
I deleted TD_App under webapps which is my
application.
Then rebuild war and added to deploy dir.
Now TD_App is empty dir in webapps. Jetspeed did not
expand it.
Any ideas?
