I have done the following... 1 - Built the PostgreSQL DDL for the Portal according to the build instructions. Ran the DDL against PostgreSQL as well as the SQL to get the initial users and roles into the db. All worked hunky-dory-dandy.
2 - Updated portal-ds.xml to read as follows. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <datasources> | <local-tx-datasource> | <jndi-name>PortalDS</jndi-name> | <connection-url>jdbc:postgresql://localhost/jbossportal</connection-url> | <driver-class>org.postgresql.Driver</driver-class> | <user-name>portal</user-name> | <password>portalpassword</password> | </local-tx-datasource> | </datasources> | 3 - Deployed the xml file, unzipped the CMS content to server/default/data per the instructions, deployed the .sar file. 4 - Restarted JBoss. 5 - try to hit the portal/index.html and get an exception. In the log it reads... 2005-05-04 14:09:37,984 ERROR [org.jboss.web.localhost.Engine] StandardWrapperValve[PortalServlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet PortalServlet threw exception | org.jboss.portal.common.transaction.NestedException: java.lang.NullPointerException | at org.jboss.portal.common.transaction.Transactions.requiresNew(Transactions.java:81) | at org.jboss.portal.core.servlet.TransactionFilter.doFilter(TransactionFilter.java:74) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:186) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:157) | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:75) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:186) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:157) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:214) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invokeInternal(StandardContextValve.java:198) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:152) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.CustomPrincipalValve.invoke(CustomPrincipalValve.java:66) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:150) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) | at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:462) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:54) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:137) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) | at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:118) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:929) | at org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:160) | at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:799) | at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11Protocol.java:705) | at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:577) | at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:683) | at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) | Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException | at org.jboss.portal.server.servlet.AbstractMainServlet.doGet(AbstractMainServlet.java:52) | at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:697) | at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:237) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:157) | at org.jboss.portal.core.servlet.TransactionFilter$1.run(TransactionFilter.java:78) | at org.jboss.portal.common.transaction.Transactions.requiresNew(Transactions.java:75) | ... 36 more | I'm figuring I've misconfigured something in there but I don't know what. Any ideas? The second error is when I try to generate the DDL for the forums. I get the forums directory from the source .zip and copy it to be a peer of the core directory under the portal source. I then run the build and get the following results...

What am I missing?
