Hi,
actually i am deploying the spring samples(“Books portlet”) on Liferay 4.1.1. The portlets appear in the list of portlets. I am also able to add the portlet “books” to the main page but i am getting the following error in the portlet content: The requested resource (/spring-samples/WEB-INF/servlet/view) is not available

Can anyone help me on this issue?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have the Spring portlets fully working with Liferay. However, I now want to put them into a category of portlets in Liferay. e.g. Wiki

Have you ever tried such things ?

PS I once followed the instruction at http://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/spring/display/JSR168/Home but yet it does not work at all.

Jose, I would try using the hot deploy script. See the post I just made http://www.digizenstudio.com/blog/2005/08/31/liferay361-tomcat-spring/
Good luck!

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your info Jing Xue. I’ve checked the Wiki before trying it and noticed someone who was able to do it. Anyway not many details were given.

FYI, I did the “easy” installation of Liferay Pro, i.e. just download liferay-portal-pro-3.6.1-tomcat.zip and extract it. Then I unzipped the spring sample portlet, of course I had to manually make some changes to the sample portlet, mainly:
a) delete log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar from the WEB-INF/lib in the sample portlet
b) copy the liferay-portlet.tld from liferay into the sample portlet tags directory and rename it to portlet.tld
c) add the lines

com.liferay.portal.servlet.PortletContextListener

to the sample portlets web.xml, otherwise the portlet won’t be listed in liferay.
Finally, I copied the whole portlet directory into the webapps folder in tomcat.

the portlet seems to deploy successfully, just that there isn’t any content, just a empty box!

Do you think I should try the “expert” installation and deploy by using the ant scripts provided by liferay instead?

Thanks a lot for your help Jing Xue!

Did you guys check out the Spring Portlet Wiki at http://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/spring/display/JSR168/Home? Somebody else was able to deploy it to Liferay Pro 3.6.0-tomcat. I’ll also give it a try as soon as I have some time.

Hi,
I just tried the sample portlet from the spring support page. and deployed it into the liferay 3.6.1-tomcat.
The portlet got deployed smoothly also, but i’m having the same problem as Mike Tran, I’m getting just a bordered empty box too!

Hmm, I have never seen anything like that before. Is it a JSR168 portlet? Was there anything in the log? I would try to ask on Liferay’s development forums.

Hi,

I got the portlet deployed smoothly. However, the porlet does not show any content when I added it in to Liferay tab. What I could see is just a bordered empty box.

Could you tell me what the problem is ?

I got this error with some of my own controller. It’s because one of the base spring portlet controllers throws this exception as default implementations of handleSubmitAction and handleSubmitRender. You need to override both in your controller.

Thanks, I was able to add the Spring examples to Liferay with your steps. and the sql scripts.
I was checking out the portlets and I got an error in the Mode Name View portlet when I use the control maximize from the portal (when I am in the view mode) I get;
General Error
org.springframework.web.portlet.mvc.PortletModeNameViewController does not handle action requests

was curious if you got that too.

Thanks for the tip, I will download the sql scripts and run it for MySQL DB.

You do need to create the tables first. You can find the sql scripts at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lportal/liferay-portal-ent-3.5.0-sql.zip. Pick the property script for the database you are using.

Hi Jing Xue,
I am trying to deploy the sample to liferay prof 3.5 tomcat 5.028 following what you said ;
1)Copy the liferay/WEB-INF/tld/liferay-portlet.tld to the sample appâ€™s WEB-INF/tags directory, and rename it to â€˜portlet.tldâ€™

2) Copy everything under liferay/WEB-INF/lib into Tomcatâ€™s shared/lib

3) have the build.xml and spring_sample_portlet.war in the folder my_portlets

4)run ant deploy

I havent setup the tables in the database (what do I need to do to create the tables to work with HBN)
I got bunch of exception because of this;
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Table not found: COMPANY in statement……
