There are probably some SQL statements you could ship off to the database to get it back. Oh, I had another thought - use a *-object.xml file to create a new page with the Management Portlet (instance name is ManagementPortletInstance), and use that one to add it back to the Admin page. To see an example *-object.xml file, see my portalb-object.xml file at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=89997. Oh, and as far as redeploying, look at this ant script that I use to redeploy the portal: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=90647 It runs in 20 seconds, and giving JBoss 60 seconds to initalize, I have a new, refreshed, portal in under 2 minutes.
