RE: Deploying Portlets

["Craig M. Doremus" <cd...@KEANE-NNE.com>]

Here's what you need to do:
1. Create a war file for the portlet application including a proper portlet.xml deployment descriptor (see Plt 19 in the Portlet Spec for details).
2. Run the deployPortlet script in the build directory of the Pluto distribution sending in the full path to the war file as the command-line argument.
    a. This script creates a proper web.xml file and deploys all files to Tomcat ($CATALINA_HOME/webapps).
3. Modify portletentityregistry.xml and pageregistry.xml in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/pluto/WEB-INF/data directory to register the portlet and set its layout.
    a. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.pluto.user/70 for details on modifying these files.
 
That's it. A link to the newly deployed portlet should show up in the navigation bar on the Pluto home page ( http://localhost:8080/pluto/portal) when you restart Tomcat.
