Hi Craig,
thank you very much for your help and the tips! I'm also using Pluto
1.0.1 and your modified bookmark example works. Now I just need to
figure out the difference but this is no problem.
Thanks again!
Regards,
Andi
Hi Andreas,
I assume you are using Pluto 1.0.1. Most of the NPE problems I've run
into have to do with improperly deployed portlets. Please manually
remove any old deployments of your portlet from
portletentityregistry.xml, pageregistry.xml and portletcontexts.txt in
the webapps/pluto/WEB-INF/data directory of your Pluto install. There
is a copy of the Javaworld bookmark portlet on the Yahoo portlet group
site that I have copied to here:
http://people.apache.org/~cdoremus/pluto/portlets . I have
successfully deployed it using the Pluto 1.0.1 admin console (Admin
link). Read the help file (help mode) in the DeployWarPortlet for
details. This war file also contains all the original source code.

Re: NullPointerException in doView()
Craig,
thanks for this hint. I get the same error with a newer example from the
book "Portlets and Apache Portals" (you can get it for free @
http://www.manning-sandbox.com/index.jspa). I checked
portletcontexts.txt as mentioned in the archives and everything looks
good. Also cross context is enabled in pluto.xml.
Maybe I'm missing your point?
Regards,
Andi
