hi all, i read something on forum old posts about this, but it's not clear to me if there is a solution to my problem. I'm using the portal 2.4.1 and what i would like is to deploy separately all my portlets and then configure my portal with instances and pages. I have been in part able to do it with a separated project ,with the xxx-object.xml forced to be deployed after the all others war, but i am not able yet to take out the instances.xml file from each portlet war. If i use a single instances in my fake configuration portlet it try to create instances starting from it and obviously not finding it. The output message is Failed to create instance XXXInstance of portlet /z_FakeConfig./local.Portal_XXX.PortalXXX Anyone know a possible solution? Or have i mandatory to put the instances.xml in each portel war? Thanks in advance View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4050039#...
