Geronimo 3.0-beta-1: Pluto Portlet Deployment
Hello,
I originally posted the following
message<http://apache-geronimo.328035.n3.nabble.com/Geronimo-3-0-beta-1-Pluto-Portlet-Deployment-td3616167.html>at
Apache Geronimo user mailing list and they suggested posting it here,
too. So, I would be thankful for any idea or help on this.
I am trying to deploy a simple Pluto Portlet into Geronimo 3.0-beta-1:
- I have a simple class extending javax.portlet.GenericPortlet. The
class overrides method doRender or doView for a plain sample.
- The portlet.xml looks like:
<portlet>
<portlet-name>MyPortlet</portlet-name>
<portlet-class>MyPortletClassQualifiedPath</portlet-class>
<supports>
<mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
<portlet-mode>view</portlet-mode>
<portlet-mode>edit</portlet-mode>
<portlet-mode>help</portlet-mode>
</supports>
<portlet-info>
<title>My Portlet</title>
</portlet-info>
</portlet>
- The geronimo-web.xml looks like:
<sys:environment>
<sys:moduleId>
<sys:groupId>my-project-group-id</sys:groupId>
<sys:artifactId>my-project-artifact</sys:artifactId>
<sys:version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</sys:version>

</sys:dependency>
</sys:dependencies>
<sys:hidden-classes />
<sys:non-overridable-classes />
</sys:environment>
<context-root>/control</context-root>
- In web.xml, I have:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyPortletServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.pluto.container.driver.PortletServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>portlet-name</param-name>
<param-value>MyPortlet</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyPortletServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/PlutoInvoker/p/d</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
- I use Maven geronimo:deploy to deploy the WAR into Geronimo. It
succeeds.
- The MyPortlet#init method is called to just verify that the portlet is
initialized.
- When I issue the address
http://localhost:8080/control/PlutoInvoker/p/dI receive an NPE having
a root cause in that there is not
METHOD_ID attached to the HTTP request attributes.
- I debugged the mixture of Apache Geronimo + Jetty + Pluto and I found
out that based on the life cycle, for each portlet request, the object
DefaultPortletInvokerService should be called in invoke method to
prepare the METHOD_ID and other attributes in the HTTP request. I debugged
this and the method gets called for other portlets in Geronimo. For my
portlet, this does *not* happen.
Can you please tell what I am doing wrongly?
Thanks,
Behrooz
Re: Geronimo 3.0-beta-1: Pluto Portlet Deployment
Posted by Eric Dalquist <er...@doit.wisc.edu>.
The invoker portlet is only intended to be called via the
PortletContainer.doRender/doAction/doResource/doEvent methods. The
PortletContainerImpl does all the work of setting up the request prior
to the invocation.
It seems like you're simply trying to run a portlet in a container that
isn't actually a portal. Simply assembling a portlet webapp with Pluto
(adding the dispatcher serlvet) just adds the logic needed in the
portlet webapp for pluto to dispatch to it. The guts of the portlet
container (aka portal) still needs to be deployed as a seperate webapp,
then you interact with that portal webapp and it dispatches to your portlet.
