Ahhhhh... much appreciated. Now it is starting to make sense. Some of the variable lengths had to be explicitely stated.
The script now works in creating the tables: +--------------------------+ | Tables_in_todolist | +--------------------------+ | portal_todolist | | portal_todolist_category | | portal_todolist_group | | portal_todolist_user | +--------------------------+ Now I have an empty database called "todolist" in the mySQL directory with the above tables. I restarted Tomcat and tried the portlet. Nothing happens. THE BIG QUESTION: How does this portlet know to use the "todolist" database in mySQL? If I can answer the above question I think I will solve this. There is a todolist.xreg configuration file which looks like the following. No mention of the database used here -- only the templates. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <registry> <portlet-entry name="ToDoListPortlet" hidden="false" type="ref" parent="Velocity" application="false"> <meta-info> <title>ToDo List - KSC Portal</title> <description>Actions - To Do List - KSC Web Portal</description> </meta-info> <parameter name="template" value="todolist/main" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="action" value="com.cone.actions.portlets.todolist.ToDoListPortlet" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="adminRole" value="admin" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="TEMPLATE_INSERT" value="todolist/insert" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="TEMPLATE_MODIFY" value="todolist/modify" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="TEMPLATE_DELETE" value="todolist/delete" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="TEMPLATE_MODIFY_CATEGORY" value="todolist/modify-category" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="TEMPLATE_INSERT_CATEGORY" value="todolist/insert-category" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="TEMPLATE_DELETE_CATEGORY" value="todolist/delete-category" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="TEMPLATE_SHOW_ELEMENT" value="todolist/show-element" hidden="true"/> <parameter name="TEMPLATE_LIST_CATEGORY" value="todolist/list-categories" hidden="true"/> <media-type ref="html"/> <category group="Jetspeed">application</category> </portlet-entry> </registry> Thanks for any and all help.
