Description Bruno Machado 2011-03-16 00:18:38 UTC

Help Desk Ticket Reference: https://c.na7.visual.force.com/apex/Case_View?id=500A0000006kBBVIA2&sfdc.override=1
Steps to Reproduce: And this is also how the error can be reproduced, using $EPP_HOME/portletbridge/examples/seamEAR.ear:

1. Explode seamEAR.ear
2. Change context-root to contain a slash '/':

  <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>seamBookingPortlet.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>/portalBookingDemo/demo</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>

3. Deploy the application
4. Start the server
5. Import all applications
6. Add the seamBookingPortlet to a new page:

11:59:46,926 ERROR [STDERR] org.gatein.pc.api.NoSuchPortletException: No such portlet /portalBookingDemo.demo
11:59:46,926 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.gatein.pc.portlet.container.ContainerPortletInvoker.getPortlet(ContainerPortletInvoker.java:99)

(If instead of importing all applications you try to add just the SeamBookingPortlet to a category, this already fails with a java.lang.NullPointerException.)
Workaround: Workaround Exists
Workaround Description: Current workaround: Change context-root to not contain slashes
project_key: JBEPP

I've tried to use a context-root with a slash "/" in a JSR-286 Hello World Portlet and it throws the following exception when trying to add it to a new page:

11:59:46,926 ERROR [STDERR] org.gatein.pc.api.NoSuchPortletException: No such portlet /portalBookingDemo.demo
11:59:46,926 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.gatein.pc.portlet.container.ContainerPortletInvoker.getPortlet(ContainerPortletInvoker.java:99)

Changing context-root to not contain slashes has fixed the problem.

Problem happens when using slashes "/" in:

- application.xml of an .ear file
  <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>seamBookingPortlet.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>/portalBookingDemo/demo</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>

Changing it to <context-root>/portalBookingDemo-demo</context-root> fixes the problem

- jboss-web.xml of a .war file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
   <context-root>/MySamplePortlet/SamplePortlet</context-root>
</jboss-web> 

Changing it to <context-root>/MySamplePortlet.SamplePortlet</context-root> fixes the problem.

Needs new PC version which is bets now so postponed.
Backporting is possible.

Upgrading PC is not necessary for this fix.
