-= Deploying to a Portal
-
-To deploy a portlet WAR in a portal, you need to provide a
-[filename]#portlet.xml# descriptor specified in the Java Portlet API 2.0
-standard (JSR-286). In addition, you may need to include possible portal vendor
-specific deployment descriptors. The ones required by Liferay are described
-below.
-
-Deploying a Vaadin UI as a portlet is essentially just as easy as deploying a
-regular application to an application server. You do not need to make any
-changes to the UI itself, but only the following:
-
-[options="compact"]
-* Application packaged as a WAR
-
-[options="compact"]
-** [filename]#WEB-INF/portlet.xml# descriptor
-
-** [filename]#WEB-INF/liferay-portlet.xml# descriptor for Liferay
-
-** [filename]#WEB-INF/liferay-display.xml# descriptor for Liferay
-
-** [filename]#WEB-INF/liferay-plugin-package.properties# for Liferay
-
-
-* Widget set installed to portal (optional)
-* Themes installed to portal (optional)
-* Vaadin libraries installed to portal (optional)
-* Portal configuration settings (optional)
-
-The Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse creates these files for you, when you create a
-portlet project as described in
-<<dummy/../../../framework/portal/portal-eclipse#portal.eclipse,"Creating a
-Generic Portlet in Eclipse">>.
-
-Installing the widget set and themes to the portal is required for running two
-or more Vaadin portlets simultaneously in a single portal page. As this
-situation occurs quite easily, we recommend installing them in any case.
-Instructions for Liferay are given in
-<<dummy/../../../framework/portal/portal-liferay#portal.liferay,"Developing
-Vaadin Portlets for Liferay">> and the procedure is similar for other portals.
-
-In addition to the Vaadin libraries, you will need to have the
-[filename]#portlet.jar# in your project classpath. However, notice that you must
-__not__ put the [filename]#portlet.jar# in the same [filename]#WEB-INF/lib#
-directory as the Vaadin JAR or otherwise include it in the WAR to be deployed,
-because it would create a conflict with the internal portlet library of the
-portal. The conflict would cause errors such as "
-[literal]#++ClassCastException: ...VaadinPortlet cannot be cast to
-javax.portlet.Portlet++#".
-
-[[portal.deployment.descriptor]]
-== Portlet Deployment Descriptor
-
-The portlet WAR must include a portlet descriptor located at
-[filename]#WEB-INF/portlet.xml#. A portlet definition includes the portlet name,
-mapping to a servlet, modes supported by the portlet, and other configuration.
-Below is an example of a simple portlet definition in [filename]#portlet.xml#
-descriptor.
-

- &lt;/portlet-class&gt;

- &lt;/portlet&gt;
-&lt;/portlet-app&gt;

-corresponding portlet controls in the portal user interface that allow changing

-== Liferay Portlet Descriptor
-
-((("Liferay", "portlet descriptor", id="term.portal.liferay.descriptor.liferay-portlet.liferay", range="startofrange")))
-
-
-Liferay requires a special [filename]#liferay-portlet.xml# descriptor file that
-defines Liferay-specific parameters. Especially, Vaadin portlets must be defined
-as " __instanceable__", but not " __ajaxable__".
-
-Below is an example descriptor for the earlier portlet example:
-
-[subs="normal"]
-----
-&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
-&lt;!DOCTYPE liferay-portlet-app PUBLIC
- "-//Liferay//DTD Portlet Application 4.3.0//EN"
- "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-portlet-app_4_3_0.dtd"&gt;
-
-&lt;liferay-portlet-app&gt;
- &lt;portlet&gt;
- &lt;!-- Matches definition in portlet.xml. --&gt;
- &lt;!-- Note: Must not be the same as servlet name. --&gt;
- &lt;portlet-name&gt;**Portlet Example portlet**&lt;/portlet-name&gt;
-
- &lt;instanceable&gt;true&lt;/instanceable&gt;
- &lt;ajaxable&gt;false&lt;/ajaxable&gt;
- &lt;/portlet&gt;
-&lt;/liferay-portlet-app&gt;

-[filename]#liferay-portlet.xml# deployment descriptor.

-
-
-((("Liferay", "display descriptor", id="term.portal.liferay.descriptor.liferay-display.liferay", range="startofrange")))
-
-
-The [filename]#WEB-INF/liferay-display.xml# file defines the portlet category
-under which portlets are located in the [guilabel]#Add Application# window in
-Liferay. Without this definition, portlets will be organized under the
-"Undefined" category.
-
-The following display configuration, which is included in the demo WAR, puts the
-Vaadin portlets under the "Vaadin" category, as shown in
-<<figure.portal.liferay.descriptor.display>>.

-[[portal.deployment.widgetset]]
-== Using a Single Widget Set
-
-If you have just one Vaadin application that you ever need to run in your
-portal, you can just deploy the WAR as described above and that's it. However,
-if you have multiple applications, especially ones that use different custom
-widget sets, you run into problems, because a portal window can load only a
-single Vaadin widget set at a time. You can solve this problem by combining all
-the different widget sets in your different applications into a single widget
-set using inheritance or composition.
-
-For example, if using the default widget set for portlets, you should have the
-following for all portlets so that they will all use the same widget set:
-
-
-----
-<portlet>
- ...
- <!-- Use the portal default widget set for all portal demos. -->
- <init-param>
- <name>widgetset</name>
- <value>com.vaadin.portal.PortalDefaultWidgetSet</value>
- </init-param>
- ...
-----
-
-The [classname]#PortalDefaultWidgetSet# extends [classname]#SamplerWidgetSet#,
-which extends the [classname]#DefaultWidgetSet#. The
-[classname]#DefaultWidgetSet# is therefore essentially a subset of
-[classname]#PortalDefaultWidgetSet#, which contains also the widgets required by
-the Sampler demo. Other applications that would otherwise require only the
-regular [classname]#DefaultWidgetSet#, and do not define their own widgets, can
-just as well use the larger set, making them compatible with the demos. The
-[classname]#PortalDefaultWidgetSet# will also be the default Vaadin widgetset
-bundled in Liferay 5.3 and later.
-
-If your portlets are contained in multiple WARs, which can happen quite
-typically, you need to install the widget set and theme portal-wide so that all
-the portlets can use them. See
-<<dummy/../../../framework/portal/portal-liferay#portal.liferay,"Developing
-Vaadin Portlets for Liferay">> on configuring the widget sets in the portal
-itself.
-
-
-[[portal.deployment.war]]
-== Building the WAR Package
-
-To deploy the portlet, you need to build a WAR package. For production
-deployment, you probably want to either use Maven or an Ant script to build the
-package. In Eclipse, you can right-click on the project and select "Export >
-WAR". Choose a name for the package and a target. If you have installed Vaadin
-in the portal as described in
-<<dummy/../../../framework/portal/portal-liferay#portal.liferay,"Developing
-Vaadin Portlets for Liferay">>, you should exclude all the Vaadin libraries, as
-well as widget set and themes from the WAR.
-
-
-[[portal.deployment.deploy]]
-== Deploying the WAR Package
-
-How you actually deploy a WAR package depends on the portal. In Liferay, you
-simply drop it to the [filename]#deploy# subdirectory under the Liferay
-installation directory. The deployment depends on the application server under
-which Liferay runs; for example, if you use Liferay bundled with Tomcat, you
-will find the extracted package in the [filename]#webapps# directory under the
-Tomcat installation directory included in Liferay.
