environment: JBOSS 4.0.5.GA PostGreSQL MyFaces 1.1.5. RichFaces 3.1.2 I have a complete web application packed in a WAR file that includes a BackBean, one jsp, and a portlet with all descriptors files.This application is just a table (HtmlDataTable) with pagination and with different ModalPanels to edit(create, delete...) one kind of object. Now I wanna reuse this table in other portlets with other kind of objects but the way I do is wrong. I think I'm just calling same instance of the backbean from all portlets. What I want is call totally different instances of the backbean packed in the war file in order to get two DataTables managing different objects and totally independents in two differents portlets but in the same portal. Thank you very much for any help. Frank This is a copy of the descriptor files packed in the war file: portlet #1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- custom-object.xml <page-name>Data Management</page-name> ................ <window-name>Sdo</window-name> <instance-ref>SDOPortletInstance</instance-ref> left 600 portlet-instances.xml <instance-id>SDOPortletInstance</instance-id> <portlet-ref>SDOPortlet</portlet-ref> portlet.xml <portlet-name>SDOPortlet</portlet-name> <portlet-class>de.modules.sdo.SDOPortlet</portlet-class> <init-param> default-view /sdo.jsp </init-param> .................................. portlet #2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- custom-object.xml <page-name>Data Management</page-name> ................ <window-name>Sdo</window-name> <instance-ref>SDOPortletInstance2</instance-ref> left 600 portlet-instances.xml <instance-id>SDOPortletInstance2</instance-id> <portlet-ref>SDOPortlet</portlet-ref> portlet.xml ...........
