Change the root path and prefix of the url

(from http://jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=106605)

To change the root path of the url.

From (classic) : "http://localhost:8080/portal/portal/default"

To : "http://localhost:8080/myPortalContextRoot/myDefaultCommand/myDefaultPortalName"

a) Prefix for : Portal Context Root (first "portal" in classic url)

In the file : \deploy\jboss-portal.sar\portal-server.war\WEB-INF\jboss-web.xml

Replace the context root item to : <context-root>/myPortalContextRoot</context-root>

The cms coded url can then be :

"http://localhost:8080/myPortalContextRoot/cms_root_code/cms_repository_path/cms_file_name"

b) Prefix for : PortalObjects commands (PortalObject Commands and url factories)

(second "portal" in classic url)

The PortalObjects commands are used to call a page or window, with parameters in the url.

In the file : \deploy\jboss-portal.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml

b1) Command factory

Switch off the service (put comments): name="portal:commandFactory=Delegate,prefix=portal"

Replace the d�claration with a new one, with modification (copy the xml items and modify) :

- modify the name to : name="portal:commandFactory=Delegate,prefix=myDefaultCommand"

- modify the prefix item to : myDefaultCommand

b2) Url factory

Switch off the service : name="portal:urlFactory=PortalObject"

Replace the d�claration with a new one, with modification :

- modify the prefix item to : myDefaultCommand

- no modification of the service name

c) The portal prefix

(the "default" prefix, in third position in the classic url)

This prefix is set in the portal description, default-object.xml file.

The one provide by JBoss portal, and also in yours (for your portal).

The item is : <portal-name>myDefaultPortalName</portal-name>

Also in the default-object.xml file, see the definition of the default page :

The name of the default page and the value item of the property of default object of the portal :

the item is <portal.defaultObjectName>

To set the default to be myDefaultPortalName (when multiple portals instances) :

See this forum and jira posts to set it as the default portal of multiple portals :

http://jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=104612

and

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1324?watch=true

(there is a small problem with not using "default" as the default portal name).
