Except that the WSRP service is not conceived to be instantiated twice  
at this time, it's conceived as a singleton. The current setup is  
currently causing issues because for example, despite the supposed  
separations, both portals still rely on the WSRP service publishing  
its WSDL under the wsrp-producer context. Also, going through the  
instantiation twice is also causing issues. I'd rather not deal with  
this complication at this point as there is already much work to do  
with WSRP and a single portal. You're welcome to take a look at how  
WSRP could be packaged so that it can be instantiated several times  
without causing issues, I just don't have time to work on that now.

As an added remark, I just need to get rid of gatein-sample-portal.ear  
to remove the sample-portal instance, right?
