Re: problem installing HellowWorldPortlet

Jasper van den Bergh,

Please post this on the mailing list so others can benefit.

Where is the file addtopic.jsp?  If the file is under
<jetspeed_home>/WEB-INF, then it can not be referenced directly.

Options:
o Place addtopic.jsp in place that is directly accessible, i.e.
   <tomcat_home>/webapps/ROOT. Now the user is outside of the
   portal environment

o Place addtopic.jsp in place that is directly accessible, i.e.
   <tomcat_home>/webapps/ROOT and reference add attribute
   "target='_blank'" to force the addtopic to be place in a popup
   window. Now the user is outside of the portal environment and
   you have to manage the popup window.

o Place addtopic.jsp in a portlet, place the portlet in a group page,
   and link to the group page.  I recommend this approach
   From local-portlets
      <portlet-entry name="Forum_AddTopic" hidden="false" type="ref"
          parent="JSP" application="false">
          <meta-info>
              <title>ForumAddTopic</title>
              <description>Add a topic to the Forum Portlet</description>
          </meta-info>
          <parameter name="template"
              value="forum/addtopic.jsp" hidden="false"/>
          <media-type ref="html"/>
      </portlet-entry>

    From the "forum" group "add" PSML file
(<jetspeed_home>/WEB-INF/psml/group/forum/html/add.psml):
     <entry parent="Forum_AddTopic">

   The link:
     http://localhost/jetspeed/portal/group/forum/page/add

   As an example see the news page in the apache group that is part
   of jetspeed.
       http://localhost/jetspeed/portal/group/apache/page/news
