Hi Peter, Roy, Thank you I have resolved the issue. It was in fact the portlet helloworldportalpage.war I had installed a few days before. Silly... grep couldn't help in a war file.... Yes I agree a would be very helpful to isolate *object.xml & database & Management Portlet issues after the portal is installed. Thanks again for the GREAT support.
