Found the problem. Simple fix in the end. You need to add the Required transaction attribute. The above portlet now spits out the entire deployed PortalNode structure. It should be easy to modify into a breadcrumb and/or sitemap portlet. jboss-portlet.xml | <portlet> | <portlet-name>PageLinkPortlet</portlet-name> | <transaction> | <trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute> | </transaction> | </portlet> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4131585#...
