Are you sure you are creating a portlet? Did you install JBoss Portal? If not, perhaps you are creating a simple web application. Would you have any idea of how the application was deployed and what the WAR file structure is? Based on what you mentioned, your WAR file (or exploded directory) should be in the server/xxx/deploy directory, and should contain something like: index.jsp WEB-INF/web.xml WEB-INF/classes/some/package/path/HelloWorld.class View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4200802#...
