I have opened a jira to enhance the documentation. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1323 Following to set that "no portal" in url, comes the question : how to define MyPortal as the default portal. seems not possible, without changing the jboss portal default-object.xml in the conf folder in jboss-portal.sar: put MyPortal description in this file. not really clean, as it modify things in the jboss portal package, just for saying MyPortal is the default one. I tried also just to suppress this default-object.xml (for the default portal from jboss). was hoping that MyPortal is the only one defined, so it is the default. Then the default command factory throws an exception : 01:40:57,078 ERROR [[PortalServletWithPathMapping]] Servlet.service() for servlet PortalServletWithPathMapping threw exception | java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default portal does not exist | at org.jboss.portal.core.model.portal.DefaultPortalCommandFactory.doMapping(DefaultPortalCommandFactory.java:76) | at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor224.invoke(Unknown Source) | at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) don't know why yet. is there another way ?
