Creator Portlets and Interportlet communication

Question: Is it possible to develop IPC portlets for Sun Portal using Creator 2?

Yes. JSF portlets developed using Creator 2 can be used for IPC. However, to actually test the IPC feature, you will need to deploy it to the Portal Server. Creator does not bundle Sun Portal. It bundles Pluto, the JSR 168 Reference Implementation. Pluto does not support the IPC mechanism available in Sun Portal

Sun Portal 7 troubleshooting tips

Common problems and their solutions:

  1. Question: I am unable to login to the Portal Server Console (psconsole) as amadmin. The Access Manager Console (amconsole) however works. What is the issue ?

    Answer:Portal Server uses JMX Mbeans for all administrative activities. For both the portal console application and command line interfaces to work, the JMX container needs to be running.Try starting the cacao server instance:

    /opt/SUNWcacao/bin/cacaoadm start

  2. Question: I am accessing the community sample portal. However creation of a new community fails.

    Answer:The community sample portal needs the derby database running. You can start/stop derby with the following commands:

    ant -DPS_CONFIG=/etc/opt/SUNWportal/PSConfig.properties -buildfile /opt/SUNWportal/lib/derby.xml stop-instance
    ant -DPS_CONFIG=/etc/opt/SUNWportal/PSConfig.properties -buildfile /opt/SUNWportal/lib/derby.xml start-instance
