hi You are at right default-object.xml file. I gave you path in source code, you are checking it in binaries. Anyway we are at same file now. Now do one more thing. 1. go to the same file let it be "overwrite" from "keep" 2. Find following in default-object.xml <window> | <window-name>AdminPortletWindow</window-name> | <instance-ref>AdminPortletInstance</instance-ref> | <region>center</region> | <height>0</height> change it to <window> | <window-name>AdminPortletWindow</window-name> | <instance-ref>AdminPortletInstance1</instance-ref> | <region>center</region> | <height>0</height> 3. now go to portal-admin.sar/portal-admin.war/WEB-INF/portlet-instances.xml 4. find for following in it. <instance-id>AdminPortletInstance</instance-id> | <portlet-ref>AdminPortlet</portlet-ref> | <security-constraint> | <policy-permission> and change it to <instance-id>AdminPortletInstance1</instance-id> | <portlet-ref>AdminPortlet</portlet-ref> | <security-constraint> | <policy-permission> 5. Restart the server Basically now we are changing AdminPortletInstance to AdminPortletInstance1 View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4221638#...
