Trying to run portals in action JSF 2.0 example in liferay on glassfish

[Jeroen Kops]

I'm trying to run the portals-in-action example src-ch-12to14/portletfaces-example on Liferay 6.0.5 running on Glassfish 3.0.1.
The portlet builds and deploys ok.

There are two problems:

1. The initial data is not loaded and the table is empty. I attached a debugger and found out that there was no call
to BookCatalogBean.getBooks()

2. When i click the "Add Book" button I get a javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException in the server.log (see below)

What could cause these problems?

Hi Jeroen,

Can you please try the steps that Neil Griffin has described in the following post for deploying portletfaces bridge application on Glassfish: http://www.portletfaces.org/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/39420

regards
ashish

[Jeroen Kops]

Hi Ashish,

We installed Liferay on an existing Glassfish server.
And we are not able to step over to a different application server like Tomcat.


These are the steps that I've taken:

1. Stopped the Glassfish
2. Removed the jsf-impl and jsf-api from Glassfish and
replaced them by the jsf-impl and jsf-api from the example portlet.
3. Started the Glassfish

Unfortunately still getting the same Exception.

Hi Jeroen,

Give me sometime, I'll also try on Glassfish 3.

I tested the Book Catalog JSF application on Tomcat-Liferay bundle and it works fine. So, i think there are some issues happening when running on Glassfish-Liferay.

regards
ashish

[Jeroen Kops]

Ok, good luck ,and if I can help please let me know..

JK

[Ashish Sarin]

Hi Jeroen,

I tried the Book Catalog JSF example on Glassfish 3.0.1-Liferay 6.0.5 bundle but I'm able to see it working correctly. I didn't modify anything and simply copied the WAR file to 'deploy' directory and added the portlet to a portal page.

I do see couple of ClassCastException, but those exceptions are related to Liferay. I'm using the code that checked into Google Code SVN here: http://code.google.com/p/portletsinaction/source/checkout ..... I haven't tried with the code in ZIP file, so can you please try once by checking out the code from SVN for the project ? I don't expect there will be any difference in the code in SVN and the one available in ZIP file format.

ashish

[Jeroen Kops]

Hi Ashish,

I tried the source code from the subversion repo.
But still getting the same exception.

Maybe there is a difference between the Glassfish/Liferay bundle and our installation of Liferay on an existing Glassfish server...?

Regards,

JK

[Ashish Sarin]

Hi Jeroen,

I think there could be some difference in the version of Liferay. I downloaded the latest Liferay-Glassfish bundle from Liferay website and tested the JSF portlet example and it just worked without making any changes. I would suggest to check the version of Liferay which is installed on Glassfish.

regards
ashish

[Jeroen Kops]

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for your response.
This weekend I will test the example on the Glassfish/Liferay bundle.
Hopefully I can discover the differences between the bundle and our installation (Liferay installed on an existing Glassfish server).

Regards,

JK

[Jeroen Kops]

Hi Ashish,

I tried the example portlet with the Glassfish/Liferay bundle and it indeed worked :-)
But I still don't get it to work on my "Liferay installed on an existing Glassfish server" installation.

Because it is an environmental problem I started a topic at Liferay's forum:

http://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/7219960?_19_preview=false

Thanks for your help.
Regards,

JK

[Ashish Sarin]

Hi Jeroen,

What is the version of Liferay installed on your Glassfish server? If the version is different from Liferay 6..0.5, then it may not work.

In the post at Liferay forum, I would suggest to mention the version of Liferay as well as Glassfish that you are using. It'll help to get the answer quickly.

regards
ashish

[Jeroen Kops]

Hi Ashish,

I am using Glassfish version 3.0.1 and Liferay version 6.0.5.
Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Regards,

JK

[Jeroen Kops]

Hi Ashish,

The problem is solved with Glassfish 3.1 and Liferay 6.0.6 :-)

Regards,

JK
