custom portal deployment - deploymentManager bean creation error

[Lizann Epley <la...@uoblivion.com>]

Hi All,

I have been studying Jetspeed for a couple of months now. Please 
understand - I came from a MSVC++ world and am new not only to jetspeed 
but to... well.. all things apache ; )

I am working with: Tomcat 5.5.12, Jetspeed 2 (release), Maven 1.0.2, 
JDK-1_5_0_06, ant 1.6.5 on XP Pro. My props are listed below.

So far here is where I am: I have a custom portal and a customized 
install builder (multi-developer environment, otherwise would not have 
done this). The install builder seems to be working properly for 
deploying tomcat with the portal, however... When I launch Tomcat I am 
getting an error from the deployment app when it is trying to deploy the 
portlets. It appears that the portal itself is deploying - the dir 
structure is properly expanded.

Surely I have made a simple mistake as far as a property or failure to 
properly update an xml file, but I am hoping someone can give me a quick 
point in the right direction..
 It appears to be failing during the deployment of the j2-admin portlet. 
The dir structure for this portlet has only two files in the web-inf\lib 
dir (portals-bridges-jsf-1.0.jar and tomahawk-1.1.0.jar), and that's all 
that is in this context path.

----------------------------------------------------------
The Tomcat.log (using log4j) has:
ERROR Timer-0 
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/j2-admin] 
- JetspeedContainerServlet: initialization failed for Portlet

The Tomcat console has (along with a bunch of other stuff...)
(while adding portals-bridges-velocity-1.0.jar to the classpath for 
jetspeed-layouts)
with DEBUG logging on:

next line indicates this call is from:

from my maven debug output (shows prop settings that are registering 
from root custom portal dir) - this pulls from both USER_HOME 
build.properties and my project.properties file:

-------------------------------------------------

My current next step to find the problem is placing more debug into the 
jetspeed source (simple logging) to try to get a better idea of what is 
missing.

Thanks for your help.
