Thanks again for your answer. I tried it but it it didn't work, deployment of jboss-portal failed (with a lot of exceptions). I just replaced the jsf-libs/ with those from jboss 4.0, did I miss something out? Thanks for any tips. I post the first exception: | 19:24:39,928 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not create deployment: file:/home/user/downloads/jboss-4.2.0.CR1/server/default/deploy/jboss-portal.sar/ |
