No. Look at the doc: | <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> | <deployments> | <deployment> | <instance> | <instance-id>NewsPortletInstance2</instance-id> | <portlet-ref>NewsPortlet</portlet-ref> | </instance> | </deployment> | </deployments> | I'm assuming you're using 2.4? If not, let me know. Also, can you please try with CR1 or CR2 of 2.4 and not the Beta? Please do a clean install, or use the bundle with hypersonic, to isolate any other problems that may be occurring.
