Hi Andreas, Yes, your Jira issue is a duplicate to PLUTO-340, which is more of an annoyance than a show-stopping bug.
Here's what you have to do to deploy a portlet app in Pluto installed in Tomcat (the bundled distribution): 1. Create a Tomcat context descriptor, giving it the same name as your portlet app war name (aka context name) and make sure it ends up in the META-INF directory of your war file. Here's an example for one for a portlet bundled for a HelloWorldPortlet context (file name is HelloWorldPortlet.xml): <Context path="/HelloWorldPortlet" docBase="HelloWorldPortlet" crossContext="true"/> The crossContext attribute allows Pluto, which is deployed in its own Tomcat context, to work with this custom portlet. 2. Assemble your portlet app into a war file, making sure your web.xml is instrumented with a PortletServlet record, which can be done via Maven 2 with the pluto:assemble goal in the maven-pluto-plugin or with Ant using the AssembleTask . See the servlet and servlet-mapping records in the testsuite web.xml file for an example how the web.xml file should look like after assembly (other items in web.xml like other servlets should be carried forward into the updated web.xml). 3. Deploy the war to Tomcat. You can just drop it into the webapps directory or use the Tomcat manager app, which can be found by clicking on the link at the bottom of the Pluto Page Administrator portlet. 4. Use the Pluto Page Administrator portlet to add the portlet to a page. This portlet does not allow for the creation of new pages or the persistence of configuration information between server restarts. In order to do that, you need to edit the pluto-portal-driver-config.xml file in pluto's WEB-INF directory, adding or updating a page element under the render-config element. I also have these directions in the Help mode of the Pluto Page Administrator portlet (click on the question mark), although they are a bit outdated (for instance, the portlet-app element does not exist anymore in pluto-portal-driver-config.xml). I will try to update this file and the docs on the web site.
