New Portal

This may be basics to you guys, but I find it had to get  (maybe cause I don;t understand all the technologies yet).  Hope someone can give me a simple How To for Dorks guide.

Running Jetspeed 2.6.1GA on Tomcat 5.5.20 (installed with Demo Instaler), Maven 2.0.7 + mavin-ant-tasks 2.0.7, Ant 1.7.0

I need to create a new portal app, instead of http://localhost/jetspeed it should be http://localhost/portal  This is cone with Maven (right?), but I don;t fully understand how to create the basic maven config and where exactly in the Jetspeed directory structure I should run maven from.

Also, if anyone has done any flex stuf, I'd also like to know how to get flex properly configured on jetspeed so that it's available to my portal app (I'm trying to write a couple of flex portlets that may in the end be helpfull on portlet swap), like a flex login / registration portlet, a mail reader, etc.  Most of my flex apps are working individually, I'd just like to know the best way of getting them on jetspeed, as part of a single portal.

You don't need maven to configure the context name.
Steps (off the top of my head, this has been covered before on the  
list):

* shutdown Tomcat
* under webapps, rename your /jetspeed directory to /portal (and  
delete the jetspeed.war)
* rename the conf/Catalina/localhost/jetspeed.xml portal.xml
   edit portal.xml and replace

<Context path="/jetspeed" docBase="jetspeed" crossContext="true">

with

<Context path="/portal" docBase="portal" crossContext="true">

* restart Tomcat

   (note that your URLs will now have the path /portal/portal)

I have ran Flex apps inside Jetspeed.
In fact if you run through the tutorial found here:

http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/index.html

you will see an example of a Flash portlet, which can easily be made  
to use Flex

Johan,

As far as I remember it was set in build.properties file (might be a
different name) but it's been a while and I'm not doing any Jetspeed portal
development anymore... What i remember is that you would define them (portal
name) in a properties file where you set the portal directory, database
driver and so on...

Sorry I can't be of much help...
