Two Annoying Portal Toolkit 5.0.2 Bugs?
|
|
|
| 1. I am using Portal Toolkit 5.0.2 with wsad 5.1.1. When you tried to add a new portlet into an existing portlet app, the "Create a Portlet" wizard won't let you to generate the new portlet in the same Java package of the existing portlet. On its 2nd page
"Change code generation options", if you specify the same package, it will complain that package already exists. So you have to specify a new package. But that's pretty dumb. Basically you have to use a different package for each portlet.
Does anyone encounter the same problem or I am doing something wrong?
2. Many times when the "Create a Portlet" is run after you click the "Finish" button, the window doesnot close itself, so if you keep pressing "Finish", it will generate more and more concrete portlet. Another very annoying bug.
Finally, anyone knows how we can send back bug reports to the Portal Toolkits Developer Team?

Portal Toolkit is not supported on WSAD 5.1.1.

| well, excuse me, but I've been using this for some time now. there's nothing in the installer that says it's not supported, is there? IBM should make sure that the latest portal toolkit and the latest WSAD is a supported configuration. It's very difficult
to find previous versions of software.
BTW, I have noticed the same bugs that the original poster has experienced.

| Juanma is right. Portal Toolkit page states software requirements as:
-WebSphere Studio Version, 5.1.0
--WebSphere Studio Application Developer, Version 5.1.0
--WebSphere Studio Site Developer, Version 5.1.0
The install guide even says
Note: Do NOT apply WebSphere Studio 5.1.0 Interim Fix 001 if you have a plan to use the Web Service
Client Portlet Project wizard.
If you want Portal Toolkit 5.0.2 to be fully functional, you need to use Studio 5.1.0.

| Well, thanks very much for the reply.
So those two problems do not exist with Portal Toolkit 5.0.2 and WSAD 5.1.0, right?
It's a pity that users have to have two different (bulky)installations if they need both WSAD 5.1.1 and WPS Toolkit 5.0.2. It seems such a small revision from WSAD 5.1.0 to WSAD 5.1.1 why in the world WPS Toolkit as an Eclipse plug-in would be dependent o
n such a small revision of WSAD.
Yes. It is much easier to say it's not supported, and case closed. But should it be a high priority from the WPS Toolkit point of view to support WSAD 5.1.1.
Anyway Thanks all very much!

The prerequisites explicitly mention 5.1.0 only
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/inf...here/index.jsp?
tab=products/portaltoolkit&S_TACT=103BGW01&S_CMP=campaign
or have you found a place where it says that 5.1.1 is supported?

| As for 1st item, you can remove dumb validation for dummies.
1) Find Eclipse pligin named com.ibm.etools.portal.feature.templates.
2) Open common-input.xml file in the templates directory with text editor.
3) Find the following line at the bottom of the file.
message type="error" condition="!DuplicationValidator[packageName,'package']" text="%Name_Exists{packageName}"
4) Chang type="error" into type="warning", then save it.
