Re: running PLUTO in WSAD (WEBSPHERE 5.0)

hi,
i´m still trying to run pluto on websphere .. but i get the following 
"noClassDevFoundError":

 >> java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/apache/pluto/PortletContainerException <<

first i deployed pluto with "maven fullDeployment" to tomcat and 
generated the two war-files "pluto.war" and "testsuite.war" with the 
command "jar cvf archiveName.war ."

after that, i generated two projects & ear´s and imported the two war-files:

File-> New-> Project-> Web-> DynamicWebProject-> Name: PLUTO & PLUTOEAR
PLUTO -> Import-> WAR-File -> pluto.war

File-> New-> Project-> Web-> DynamicWebProject-> Name: TESTSUITE & 
TESTSUITEEAR
TESTSUITE -> Import-> WAR-File -> testsuite.war

Server-> New-> Testserver -> PLUTOTEST
PLUTOTEST-> Add Projects -> PLUTO & TESTSUITE

when i try to access the pluto-portal in my browser: 
http://localhost:9080/PLUTO/portal

the exception was thrown and i see: Error 500: Failed to load target 
servlet [pluto]

i attached the server-output with the complete exception and the 
.classpath file from PLUTO project ..

any help is appreciated, thanks!

   In JBoss you can just deploy the WARs as usual, and I guess you can
   try doing the same thing in WebSphere. But put the pluto and portlet
   JARs inside the WARs (in WEB-INF/lib).

hi! when i understand the instruction in the right way, i have to patch 
the method setContextRoot():

protected void setContextRoot(String contextPath)
    {
       // START PATCH
      if (contextPath.endsWith(".war")) {
             contextPath = contextPath.substring(0,contextPath.length()-4);
      }
      // END PATCH
      this.contextPath = contextPath;
    }   

but i don´t understand the sentence "To fix, I just stuffed the portlet 
WARs into the portal and shared directories, and that made it work."

where i have to put the portlet WARs?

thanks in advance,
felix

   Check out the thread "Running Pluto in JBoss", from a week or two
   ago. You probably need to patch pluto.

ups, i added the driver (pluto-jar´s) and now i can startup the server 
(why i don´t need the jars in tomcat?) ... however, i can see now the 
first page, pluto-portal, but when i try to access the testsuite, my 
browser can´t find the page and displays an error.

obviusly pluto can´t find the portal-app "testsuite", but the logfile 
(server-stdout) shows no exception, no error, nothing ..

any suggestions?
