Description bkramer 2012-03-09 15:19:19 UTC

Description of problem:

I've recently tried to name a portal extension project which started with the lowercase letter 'u' and it failed to deploy the extension with the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No pre init tasks can be added to the portal container 'portal', because it has already been initialized. 

It turns out that reason failure was because the 'starter' webapp had already been initialized prior to the deployment of the portal extension.

By renaming the project to start with an 'a' or 'U' the problem disappears and in the logs we can see that indeed the extension is deployed prior to the 'starter' webapp.

We should ensure that starter webapp is always started last.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
EPP 5.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rename docs/examples/portal/gatein-sample-extension.ear into for instance ugatein-sample-extension.ear;
2. deploy ugatein-sample-extension.ear, together with gatein-sample-portal-ds.xml and make sure that gatein-ds.xml is changed by adding '_portal' to the jndi names.
3. start the server
  
Actual results:
The following exception is logged: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No pre init tasks can be added to the portal container 'portal', because it has already been initialized. 

Expected results:
No exception is logged and application is properly deployed.

Need to mention in doc.

Comment 2 Jared MORGAN 2012-08-21 00:41:42 UTC

This issue was closed as CANTFIX. 

What do I need to mention? This should get its own docs bug if a change to documentation is required. 

What do you want to say in the release notes? Is this a work around?
