I have created a file called FirstPortlet.java with the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/classes directory. I then compiled this file and the FirstPortlet.class was generated. I'm slightly unsure of where to go from here as I have read that I need to then create a file called local-portlets.xreg which is modelled after portlets.xreg. However the other thing I read was that I need to make a new portlet entry to jetspeed-config.jcfg and to the default user configuration file, default.psml. I'm assuming that the entries I have to use are similar to as follows... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <registry> <portlet-entry name="FirstPortlet" hidden="false" type="instance" application="false"> <meta-info> <title>First Portlet Test</title> </meta-info> <classname>FirstPortlet</classname> <media-type ref="html"/> </portlet-entry> I'm a little confused on where to go from here as I have read different things. Can anyone help and give advice on what I need to do in order to get my portlet up and running?? Thanks, Bob.
