[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Upgrade from 2.4.1 SP1 to 2.6 - Big Effort?

Sohil -

I downloaded and extracted 2.6 Alpha1 as well as JBoss AS 4.0.4 GA.  I copied the jboss-portal.sar from the 2.6 Alpha1 dir into the deploy dir of the app server.  In the app server deploy dir, I then edited the connection-URL for the PortalDS in portal-hsqldb-ds.xml so that it would point to the data dir of our 2.4.1 instance.

<connection-url>jdbc:hsqldb:C:${/}jboss-portal-2.4.1${/}server${/}default${/}data${/}portal${/}hypersonic${/}database</connection-url>

When I run the server and access the default page, I get a strange combo of the old and the new:  The theme is from the 2.4.1 instance, but the text for the Greetings! portlet is from 2.6.  Everything is mixed.  And there is a message in the Navigation portlet saying: anonymous wrote : Object not found portal.NavigationPortlet

What I am aiming for is everything to be in 2.6, but I want the directories and files in CMS to reflect the things that we created and imported during our 2.4.1 incarnation.  Is this possible without re-creating and re-importing the files to the new database?

Thank you - your help is much appreciated.
