Problem Deploying Jetspeed 2 on Weblogic

November 10, 2004

Here’s a quick fix for deploying Jetspeed 2 on Weblogic. First I had to fix
a java.net.MalformedURLException. Here’s the post on the BEA dev2dev Forums.
I just needed to add this to the JAVA_OPTIONS of my startWebLogic script:
-Djava.naming.provider.url=t3://localhost:nnnn
where nnnn is the
port configured for this particular WL server.

Next I made
a jetspeed.ear folder under applications and exploded jetspeed.war into this. I also added a
small application.xml file under jetspeed.ear/META-INF to setup the war module.

Then I copied in these 5 jar files from jetspeed into the root of my
ear:
jetspeed-api-2.0-a1-dev.jar
jetspeed-commons-2.0-a1-dev.jar
portals-bridges-common-0.1.jar
portlet-api-1.0.jar
pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar

Then I added this line to the MANIFEST.MF file under
jetspeed.ear/jetspeed.war/META-INF:
Class-Path:
jetspeed-api-2.0-a1-dev.jar jetspeed-commons-2.0-a1-dev.jar portals-bridges-common-0.1.jar
portlet-api-1.0.jar pluto-1.0.1-rc1.jar

Now I’m stuck on a
“cannot find OJB.properties”. Hope to find it soon!

Also, it appears the commenting
system on blogspot has been having some issues, so I cleaned out a few duplicate
