Deploying orbeon in WebSphere Portal 6.1

Sofia Jonsson-2
Hi,

Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to deploy orbeon.war in WebSphere Portal? We're running on version 6.1. I've tried different versions of orbeon (3.6, 3.7beta and latest build from a few days ago) but can't seem to get it to work. The wiki sais it's supposed to run on WebSphere portal, so I was just wondering if anyone had any more specifics (perhaps regarding specific versions of WebSphere Portal or detailed steps in how to make it work)?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Sofia Jonsson

I am not sure how much we can help you with this, but could you tell
us more about the problem you had? Do you see a specific error showing
up in the logs or on screen?

Hi,

I'm getting a NPE when trying to upload the war-file. Therefore I'm suspecting it might be a memory problem within the portal, so we're giving the portal some extra memory. I'll report back whether or not this is successful.

Thanks,

Sofia

Re: Re: Deploying orbeon in WebSphere Portal 6.1

Hi again,

It had nothing to do with the memory issue after all. I got it to go a bit further in the deployment process by changing the portlet.xml deployment descriptor somewhat.

This is my modified portlet.xml, which uses the namespace from the JSR 286-schema (I probably could've used the JSR 168/portlet 1.0-ns as well, since it's supposed to be backwards compatible) and also some changes to the xml so that the file is valid with respect to that schema:

-------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portlet-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd"
  id="OrbeonFormsPortletApp" version="2.0">

    <portlet>
        <portlet-name>OrbeonFormsPortlet</portlet-name>
        <portlet-class>org.orbeon.oxf.portlet.OrbeonPortletDelegate</portlet-class>

                <value>cat, dog</value>
            </preference>
        </portlet-preferences>
    </portlet>
</portlet-app>
---------------------------------------------------------

The current error I get comes when I try to start the application, but It's the same for all portlets so it probably has nothing to do with orbeon :)

Best Regards, Sofia

RE: Re: Re: Deploying orbeon in WebSphere Portal 6.1

Greg Kenny

Anyone having issues with the latest nightly build of Orbeon Forms Builder?  I have installed it on a Windows 2003 server running XAMPP (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl) with the Tomcat extension.  I can connect to the Orbeon application fine but many of the form controls do not appear in the controls panel when I try to build a form.  Additionally, the save, publish and test/review buttons will not work.  Any help would be appreciated.  Is there a functional version of Orbeon out there somewhere that I have missed.  Version 3.7.1 beta has similar issues.

 

Greg

In reply to this post by Sofia Jonsson-2
Hi again,

I'm still having problems getting Orbeon to run on WebSphere Portal. Currently I've got the orbeon-war-file deployed and the portlet added to a page. In the portal log file I can see the following exception when deploying though:

2009-04-08 14:58:05:171 CEST] 00000049 ServletWrappe E   SRVE0100E: Did not realize  init() exception thrown by servlet exist-rest-servlet: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl incompatible with javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
 
When I try to access the portal page I get the following Exception (on the portal page):

org.exist.EXistException: The database directory seems to be locked by another database instance. Found a valid lock file: D:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\installedApps\VGAS0\PA_OF3.7.01.200903200.ear\xforms-incident-r.war\WEB-INF\exist-data\dbx_dir.lck at org.exist.storage.BrokerPool.canReadDataDir(BrokerPool.java:652) at org.exist.storage.BrokerPool.<init>(BrokerPool.java:604)

I don't know if the second exception is because of the first or if they are unrelated.

I don't get these errors when deploying and accessing the same portlet in another portal.
 
Thanks in advance for any help!

Best Regards,

Sofia
