Hi, I'm evaluating using kosmos and cruise control at the moment. I'm new to the world of application and portal servers, so please bear with me if I'm doing something stupid. To keep the process as simple as possible, I have installed all of the release components out of the box. I am running on WinXP with Java JDK 1.5.0_09 Next, I have downloaded kosmos-0.2.0RC2-for-jboss-portal.zip and unzipped that to c:\jboss too. Now, I copy the 3 war directories (kosmos-portlet.war, kosmos-server.war and slide.war) from C:\jboss\kosmos-0.2.0RC2-for-jboss-portal\deploy into C:\jboss\jboss-portal-2.4.0\server\default\deploy Then (with JDK_HOME set correctly), I open a command prompt, change directory to C:\jboss\jboss-portal-2.4.0\bin and then invoke the run batch file. After a minute or so, the output tells me that the server is installed and so I open the page http://localhost:8080/portal and sure enough it is there with a kosmos tab. When I go to the kosmos tab, however, not all is well in the world. Each of the portal windows (if that is the correct terminology) has the heading 'cannot render' and then an Object not found message in the body. Is this to be expected? It looks like something has gone wrong. A quick cut and paste from the internet explorer page gives the following text: Cannot render Object not found KosmosDependenciesSfMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found KosmosToolsSfMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found JBossProductsSfMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found JBossSvnMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found GmfCcMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found JBossCcMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found AtlassianJiraMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found CodehausJiraMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found JBossJiraMonitoringPortletInstance Cannot render Object not found JBossJiraSoapMonitoringPortletInstance If I navigate to http://localhost:8080/kosmos-server/ then I see a directrory listing, so it would appear that is happy. The same goes for slide. Can someone point out what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Ian View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3979086#...
