Installation of uPortal 3

1. Create a new domain in Glassfish for uPortal
2. In your uPortal3 build.properties set the following properties:

• • server.home=<your glassfish installation>/domains/<your new uportal domain>
  • server.base=${server.home}/bin
  • server.webapps=${server.home}/autodeploy
  • extractWars=false
  • webapp.docBase=uPortal
  • webapp.path=/${webapp.docBase}3. From the uPortal source directory run ant deploy-ear

1. Copy all of the JAR library files from <uportal source>/uportal-ear/target/uPortal/ to <your glassfish installation>/domains/<your new uportal domain>/lib/
2. Start up your glassfish domain
3. From the uPortal source directory run ant deploy-war. This will generate a war file and copy it to the glassfish autodeploy directory at which point your glassfish instance will install it.

That's pretty much it for a quick and dirty way to get uPortal up and running.

Portlet deployment is very straightforward.  If your build.properties is as above, then it's actually just a case of running ant deployPortletApp...
