Forums for ICEfaces and ICEpdf

Andreas,

It seems that the MainPortlet can't find a PortletRequestDispatcher to dispatch the incoming RenderRequest. Please make sure that your portlet.xml file contains the following configuration snippet:

Code:

         <init-param>
             <name>com.icesoft.faces.VIEW</name>
             <value>/timezone.iface</value>
         </init-param>

Additionally, the MainServlet needs to be properly configured in the web.xml as well, as it needs to handle the dispatched request:

Code:

     <servlet>
         <servlet-name>Main Servlet</servlet-name>
         <servlet-class>com.icesoft.faces.webapp.http.servlet.MainServlet</servlet-class>
         <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
     </servlet>
 
     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>Main Servlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>*.iface</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>Main Servlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/xmlhttp/*</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>Main Servlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/block/*</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>

If this doesn't do the trick, please post your web.xml, portlet.xml and faces-config.xml so I can take a quick look.

Andreas,

I forgot to mention that we are planning to post a war-file in the near future of an ICEfaces Portlet ready to be deployed in a Liferay/Tomcat environment.

Regarding the following:
"I forgot to mention that we are planning to post a war-file in the near future of an ICEfaces Portlet ready to be deployed in a Liferay/Tomcat environment."

Is there an update on the progress? We are launching a portal project and will start development next month. The portal framework is Liferay 4.2 on JBoss, and we need a UI component library since the portlets will be developed by teams across the globe. We very much want to use ICEfaces for the component library, but if portlet support it too difficult to achieve we will have to look elsewhere.

Please let us know...

Hi Kirsten,

Unfortunately we don't have a fixed date yet for our ICEfaces Portlet example(s). However, Liferay 4.3.0 with preliminary ICEfaces integration (ICEfaces 1.6-DR#5) will be available “early next week” at Liferay. This release will contain an ICEfaces Portlet example named sample-jsf-icefaces-sunh-portlet.war using Sun RI (no MyFaces yet). Liferay 4.3.1 will feature ICEfaces 1.6-production. We are closely working together with the people at Liferay to get our Portlet-support up to speed. Our upcoming ICEfaces 1.6-DR#5 will include more of our Portlet-support improvements.

Please note that our initial supported platform is Liferay/Tomcat, but we'll be glad to help out getting it to run on Liferay/Jboss.

I just downloaded the rc4.3 candidate of liferay portal. The icefaces portlet example that you referred to does not appear to be included. Is this downloadable separately from ICEsoft?

Hi Kirsten,

The ICEfaces sample can be downloaded separately from the SourceForge site.

You can also find the Sample ICEfaces portlet on Liferay's Samples page:

Folks, as most of this long thread predates the release of the initial Liferay + ICEfaces integration I'm going to lock it now.

Please create new threads for future Liferay - ICEfaces topics.
