Sun Java System Portal Server 7 Release Notes

Portal Server Management Console


Redeploying one web application resets all other web applications in Sun Java System Web Server 6.1. (#6327475)

Description:

The Portal Server management console loses its session whenever a deploy/undeploy is done on any web applications in the web server.


Creating more than one portal instance should not be allowed on one web server instance. (#6326901)

Description:

Creating two portals on the same web server instance tightly couples both the portals. Any operation performed on one portal is automatically reflected on other portal.


The Portal Server instance needs to be restarted on WebLogic server. (#6339379)

Description:

Running the psadmin create-instance and psadmin create portal on a WebLogic starter requires restarting the web container.

Solution:

Restart the WebLogic administration server and managed server.


Download of dp file fails if filename has .xml extension. (#6349031)

Description:

Using Explorer browser, if you download the dp file with the extension .xml, you get an error message that the xml file cannot be displayed.

Solution:

Do not use a filename with .xml extension.


Help files not displayed on web server SSL machine. (#6351789)

Description:

Log in to psconsole and click the Help button. The Help contents are not displayed.

Solution:

Perform the following steps:

  1. Add a bean managed property httpPort to the managed bean declaration of JavaHelpBean in ./web-src/common/common-fonfig.xml, which is located at common/common-config.xml inside the psconsole war file.

  2. Set the value of httpPort to a in-secure port (http) that the web container provides.

Example:

The following example demonstrates setting httpPort to port 8080:

<managed-bean>

<description>The backing bean for the Java Help component</description>

<managed-bean-name>JavaHelpBean </managed-bean-name>

<managed-bean-class>com.sun.web.ui.bean.HelpBackingBean</managed-bean-class>

<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>

<managed-property>

<property-name>jspPath</property-name>

<value>faces</value>

</managed-property>

<managed-property>

<property-name>httpPort</property-name>

<value>8080</value>

</managed-property>

</managed-bean>

The web container must supports a http port for the above example to take effect. A unjar and re-jar of the psconsole WAR needs to be added to manage the bean property and set the value of the http port. After making the new psconsole WAR, a redeploy is required to for the changes to take effect.
