Hi Roy, Thanks for looking at my issue and giving us such a nice portal implementation. My connection url is: | <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jbossportal?useServerPrepStmts=false&amp;jdbcCompliantTruncation=false</connection-url> | Which I believe is the solution to the Truncation issue. Should I create the jbp_instance_per_user manually? If so what is the column data, please? Thanks again, Andrew View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3967905#...
