Don't you love it when writing out your entire problem in a forum leads you to think of the answer before anyone posts? My problem was that we never had a maximized layout. I added this line to my portal-layouts.xml file: <uri state="maximized">/layout/generic/maximized.jsp</uri> right under the first URI tag and then of course made a maximized.jsp and restarted. /Cheers View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4028433#...
