Alfresco JSR 168 Portlets?

subwiz — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 05:35:24 GMT

I have installed the .war version of Alfresco. I see the admin console when I login to "http://host:8080/alfresco/". Somewhere I remember reading the Alfresco comes bundled with a JSR-168 portlet for the "view" of repository. If it is true, where is this, and how to configure the same?Thanks in adva

You need to download the JBoss bundle to get the portlet.

Download the extract the bundle and access htpp://localhost:8080/portal. You'll then see an Alfresco link on the left hand side, clicking that will take you to the Alfresco portlet.

Why dont there is an implementation of JSR 168 on Tomcat rather than JBoss.

Jboss has Tomcat also right.

Hi,

The reason is because you need a portal server that knows how to host and run JSR 168 portlets. Tomcat is purely a web application server it is not a portal server.

JBoss, however, do have a portal server implementation that runs inside their application server. Tomcat is embedded within the JBoss server but again only provides the web server functionality not the portal server capabilities.

Does that answer your question?

Hi there,

If I have a portlet application(.war file), how can I publish it and deploy it the portal server?

Thanks

Hi,

I deployed Alfresco.war 2.1 into JBOSS 4.0.5 and I also copy the jboss-portal.sar(2.6.1) folder into deploy directory.

When I started up the portal by using the URL:http://localhost:8080/portal, I can't see any Alfresco link on the left hand side. Do you know what the problem could be?

Thanks
Benson
