[JBoss-dev] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: JavaServerFaces Portlet integration working with JBoss P

2005-04-21 Thread kevs3d
I've recently upgraded to the jboss4.0.1sp1+portal bundle and it's working 
great. We have deployed our JSF portal app (using the SunRI) and the next step 
would be to move it to the MyFaces JSF impl. Can I ask if there is any more 
progress on the jboss portal+MyFaces integration?

Thanks,

Kev

[JBoss-dev] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: JBoss Portal + JBoss AS 4.0.1 sp1 bundle

2005-04-21 Thread kevs3d
Hi,

I think you guys might have accidently packaged up and are distributing more 
than you need, I took a look at the bundle and it includes 20MB of pointless 
files in the jboss_portal_2.0-jboss_4.0.1sp1\server\default\tmp\deploy 
directory :) Obviously these files get deleted when you start the server right? 
So if you remove them your distribution goes down from 52MB to a more sensible 
30MB... Should save you (and everyone else!) some bandwidth...

Cheers,

Kev

Any movement on the MyFaces integration? We are currently working on som e 
generic JSF components for our portal apps, and it would be nice to check that 
everything works ok against MyFaces+JBossPortal rather than the 
SunRI+JBossPortal combination we are currently using.

Cheers,

that and also the JBoss portlet deployment files

[JBoss-dev] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Spring MVC integration with JBoss Portal

2005-03-08 Thread kevs3d
Hi,

I have modified the Spring Porlet-168 integration sandbox code to work with 
JBoss Portal. This allows you to use the Spring MVC as your web framework to 
create portlets for JBoss portal.

http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/jbossdeployspringportlet.zip

I have created a JBoss portlet page for this example - so it's also a good 
example of how to create the config files for a simple portlet and give it a 
separate page in JBoss portal. 

Once deployed, you launch the test app using something like the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/portal?page=springexample

NOTE: I created this against the first JBoss Portal Alpha release - applogies 
if any config files etc. have changed since then, but i'm sure you can get it 
to work ;)

Hope this is useful to people,

Cheers,

Kev

[JBoss-dev] [Design of JBoss Portal] - JavaServerFaces Portlet integration working with JBoss Porta

2005-03-08 Thread kevs3d
Hi,

Sun have recently released an update to their JSF implementation to allow it to 
work within the Sun JSR-168 Portal server. I have taken the implementation and 
modified the config files to allow it to work within the JBoss portal. I have 
also created a simple test JSF application to show the basic features of JSF in 
action for developers new to it. Both the code and JSPs are heavily commented 
to help you understand what is going on.

The JSF impl has a Portal class called com.sun.faces.portlet.FacesPortlet which 
is specified in the portlet.xml instead of your usual specific portal class. 
You then simply add a special init param to that portlet definition XML which 
specifies the start page of your JSF app:


  | 
  |   Portlet init page
  | com.sun.faces.portlet.INIT_VIEW
  |   /login.jsp
  | 
  | 

then code up your JSF app as usual! Obviously the standard portlet rules apply 
in that your JSF JSP pages must adhere to standard portlet guidelines e.g. no 
HTML/HEAD tags etc. See the example for more info.

I have created a JBoss portlet page for this example - so it's also a good 
example of how to create the config files for a simple portlet and give it a 
separate page in JBoss portal.

http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/jsf-test.zip

You launch the test app using something like the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/portal?page=jsftest

NOTE: I created this against the first JBoss Portal Alpha release - applogies 
if any config files etc. have changed since then, but i'm sure you can get it 
to work ;)

Hope this is useful to people,

Cheers,

Kev

Hi,

Thanks for that - I can see the forums app has been built into a SAR file for 
deployment with a WAR of JSP+resources inside that. That looks ok - but how 
then do I access it? I assume if I reference the forums portlet instance from 
the default-portal.xml in the nukes-core.WAR then it will fail to initialise it 
because it's not deployed as part of the same distribution...? i.e. do i need 
to include the forums WAR fail into the main nukes SAR for it to work?

2005-01-09 Thread kevs3d
Hi,

I'd like to create my own Portal with it's own Portlets.

I have defined a WEB-INF/my-portal.xml file as part of my portal web-app.  I 
have also defined a portlet.xml and portlet-instances.xml with my custom 
portlets in. This is fine but how do i tell nukes to display my portal instead 
of the "default" one? Also how do i tell the portal engine to display a 
specific page from the page list? I'm just trying to understand how all this 
fits together so i'd appreciate any more info or tips you can tell me. At the 
moment i'm also having trouble getting nukes to find my JSP files (in my WAR 
file) unless I put them directly into the nukes-core.war. I've read the 
JBossPortal_referenceGuide.pdf and JBossPortal_userGuide.pdf but they don't 
have much info yet.

Thanks,

Kev

2005-01-08 Thread kevs3d
OK so the problem seems to be because the nukes web-app cannot find the JSP 
files from my portlet app WAR file. I've packaged up my WAR file directly into 
the nukes-core.sar file - nukes can then find my Portlet class OK but cannot 
find my JSP files even though they are in my WAR file. Any ideas what I should 
be doing to fix this? Obviously I could copy the JSP files into the core 
nukes-core.war file (which is what i did to diagnose the problem!) but that's 
not a solution for the long term.

2005-01-08 Thread kevs3d
OK that seems to work ok, cheers. The only other issue i'm having is with 
redirecting to a JSP page - i'm using the same technique as the CMS portlet e.g.

PortletRequestDispatcher dispatcher = 
this.getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher(JSP_PATH + "/main.jsp");
dispatcher.include(request, response);

But the problem is I just get an empty portlet (if the window is NORMAL state) 
or the single word message "null" within the portlet window if it's MAXIMIZED 
state. I'm pretty sure I've got my JSP page in the right place (my JSP_PATH 
variable is just set to "WEB-INF/jsp") in my WAR it's in WEB-INF/jsp also. Is 
there any way to turn on better debugging output for this? e.g. the "null" 
message does not come with an exception in the JBoss window and doesn't help me 
work out what the problem is...?

Cheers,

Kev

[JBoss-dev] [JBoss Portal Development] - Re: Adding personal portlet in jboss portal

2005-01-07 Thread kevs3d
OK that's cool. I've built my portlet app into a WAR. The problem is the 
portlet works fine when deployed as part of the standard nukes-core.sar (by 
just adding the code into the nukes source tree as a test portlet) but doesn't 
when deployed in the WAR. I'm now sure exactly what files I should have in the 
WAR structure as far as WEB-INF goes e.g. do I need the default-portlet.xml or 
jboss-service.xml files as well as the web.xml file - or is this taken care of 
by the nukes-core.sar?

The specific problem I see from nukes during deployment is:
org.jboss.nukes.portal.kernel.ServiceFailureException: java.lang.Exception: 
Portlet class not found...

Which leads me to believe it's an ordering issue rather than the WAR file? The 
JBoss Portal throws out the class not found error _before_ my app WAR file is 
deployed.

Any ideas how I should structure the WAR so it works correctly? Or do I need to 
do something else to make sure my app is deployed before nukes?

Thanks,

Kev

Hi,

I'd quite like to have a top-level menu style portlet (a list of navigation 
links - mostly to other portlets) within the main portal page. Very similar to 
the portlet shown in the "help.jpg" in the nukes2 distribution: 
nukes-2.0\core\src\bin\nukes-core-war\peeklime\help.jpg. Therefore I need to 
control a portlet window state from within another portlet - does anyone know 
how this is done?

[JBoss-dev] [JBoss Portal Development] - Building Porlets with other frameworks e.g. JSF/Struts

2005-01-06 Thread kevs3d
Hi,

I've got the Jboss Portal building and working fine and have created some basic 
portlets, which is great. But for building a decent sized app I would prefer to 
use a framework rather than revert to basic JSP for my Portlets - is there any 
information on using JSF or Struts with the JBoss Portal? I guess a bridge 
would be required between JSF/Struts and the Portal framework as otherwise the 
servlet URLs would not be compatible between the frameworks? Any thoughts 
on this?
