i decided to start playing with it again, and i've figured out my problems...
It appears portal's doing something that doesnt play nice with other
applications...
Originally, i was fooling around with 4.0.1 which had 2 applications i'd moved
over from sunone app 7... both of them use databases
Sorry, perhaps thats post did come off as sarcastic, but it wasnt really meant
to...
originally i deployed all this on a 4.0.1 instance (as per the documentation),
which didnt work (essentially produced a large mess of exceptions hundreds of
lines long, and from what i could tell, related mostl
ok, so i've got jboss 4.0.2rc1 and i've downloaded both the portal and forum
binaries...
the first thing that bothers me when im trying to deploy this is section 2.3.1
which says "..contains the following files: portal-core.sar
portal-forums.ear.." yet, both those are directories in the binary
