Well I have gotten a little farther since my last post. First I found this thread explaining how to get past the “cannot find OJB.properties” issue.

Then I started getting this:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to initialize prefs api. java.lang.InternalError: Can’t instantiate Preferences factory java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jetspeed.prefs.impl.PreferencesFactoryImpl
and found this related post which links to a bug report on the sun website detailing the issue. This told me to stop using the jdk that is bundled with weblogic and use the j2sdk1.4.2_03 that is already on my machine.

Well after I pointed to this jdk, I started getting this issue:
Cannot load Implicit TLDs java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: weblogic/apache/xerces/parsers/SAXParser
which I have seen before. But this time I figured out a fix. In the endorsed directory of j2sdk1.4.2_03 I found some sax, xalan, and xerces jars. I deleted those and the sax parser problem went away.

Now I have to figure out why my portlets show this:
javax.portlet.PortletException: Failed to find Servlet context for Portlet Application: /localeselector at org.apache.jetspeed.container.invoker.ServletPortletInvoker.invoke(ServletPortletInvoker.java:184) at org.apache.jetspeed.container.invoker.ServletPortletInvoker.render(ServletPortletInvoker.java:124) at org.apache.pluto.PortletContainerImpl.renderPortlet(PortletContainerImpl.java:103) at org.apache.jetspeed.container.JetspeedPortletContainerWrapper.renderPortlet(JetspeedPortletContainerWrapper.java:88) at org.apache.jetspeed.aggregator.impl.RenderingJob.run(RenderingJob.java:109) at org.apache.jetspeed.aggregator.impl.Worker.run(Worker.java:142)
