I have a portlet, I have defined portlet preference in portlet.xml and portlet-instances.xml, How ever I am unable to access the preference value set in the portlet-instance.xml. While Deploying the war file i am getting the following error. Any help is highly appreciated. 13:14:54,305 INFO [PortletAppDeployment] Parsing /CMSRenderer/jboss-portlet.xml 13:14:54,335 INFO [PortletAppDeployment] These instances have been found in -object.xml, you should put them in the file C:\bgnew\jboss-4.2.0.GA\server\portal\.\tmp\deploy\tmp21190CMSRenderer-exp.war\WEB-INF/portlet-instances.xml 13:14:54,335 INFO [PortletAppDeployment] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <instance-id>cmsrenderInstance</instance-id> <portlet-ref>CMSRender</portlet-ref> 13:14:54,705 INFO [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/download, warUrl=.../tmp/deploy/tmp21191download-exp.war/ 13:14:55,316 INFO [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/jmx-console, warUrl=.../deploy/jmx-console.war/ 13:14:55,927 INFO [Http11Protocol] Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-127.0.0.1-8180 13:14:55,977 INFO [AjpProtocol] Starting Coyote AJP/1.3 on ajp-127.0.0.1-8109 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4068824#...
