Portal from scratch

[Frederico Andrade Ramos <fr...@auster.com.br>]

 
Hi,
 
I´m trying Jetspeed2 to became the web framework for my company´s
applications, but since I am new to it I got stuck in a problem all of
you might have already faced.
 
I downloaded the demos and all work just fine. Then I downloaded the
source code, build the Jetspeed.war and the examples wars, deployed in
my tomcat (5.5.12) and again, all went OK. The third and last step I
planned, before starting some real development, was to build a portal of
my own from scratch.
 
For that, I used the maven plugin and follow the instructions in the
docs. I had some minor errors and problems, since the docs. were not
THAT accurate (and complete), but I managed it quite easly. Now, I stuck
in an exception that I cannot find references in the forums previous
messages or anywhere else in the internet. I start tomcat, deploy my
portal WAR file, but tomcat keeps responding "The requested resource
(/my-portal/) is not available."
 
If I check the webapps dir. its there, deployed as expected. Not even
the JSPs I added (like my-portal/login.jsp) are handled. It always
responses the same messsage.
 
Does anyone knows, or have any clue, from where should I start to make
this work out ?
 
 
Thanx
Frederico.

Hello all,
 
 
I just found out the problem.
 
After a good night´s  sleep, I track down a diff. from the tomcat +
jetspeed.WAR enviroment  to tomcat + myportal.WAR.  But it was not
inside webapps dir., as I was erroneously looking at. The demo
environment had a shared dir. , under tomcat root. In this dir. are the
following jars:
 
* jetspeed-api
* jetspeed-commons
* pluto
* portal-bridges-commons
* porltlet-api
 
which are needed to initialize Jetspeed servlets. 
 
I was so sure the problem had to be in my web.app file that I completely
forgot to look at tomcat log files.... After I copy the share dir, all
work as expected. 
 
 
Bye,
Frederico.
