Oh, I see. Okay, thank you. That makes sense. However, I've just learned that it isn't just creating instances of external portlets that are failing. I created a portlet inside of my war and have the same problem. It keeps appending "ehealth." to the front of everything and so can't find it. I am totally banging my head against the wall. I tried blanking out the app-name in jboss-app.xml, but all that did was to start appending "." to the start of everything. I've obviously got something set wrong. Do you have any idea how I can tell it that the context to start from should be blank (not "ehealth" or ".")
