This question should be in the JBoss Portal forum. not the developers one. you have to inject the CMS service in the services that your portlets may access. see the jboss-portlet.xml for this. something like : <service-name>CMS</service-name> <service-class>org.jboss.portal.cms.CMS</service-class> <service-ref>:service=CMS</service-ref> look in the manual, wiki, etc... there are some more details.
