Hi there,

I just created the sample portlet, which is described by you under " Install XMLPortletFactory in Liferay SDK ".

I imported it into Eclipse as "Liferay Projects from Plugins SDK" because thats the way I develop and deploy portlets. I added to my Liferay 6.1.2 Tomcat Server, started the server, logged into my Liferay instance and added the generated sample Portlet to a page. Ok, so far so good ( if i do not deploy it to eclipse, it won't show up in liferay, although your build script deployed it in tomcat. Don't know why...)

When I add a new Entry in the Portlet I get always an error message that the request could not be answered. The Liferay log sais: "ERROR [http-bio-8080-exec-9][PortletBeanLocatorUtil:42] BeanLocator is null for servlet context example".
I searched for this error on google, but I could not find anything that could help.

The database tabels are present in my Postgres server.

So what does this error mean and how can I get rid of it?

Are xmlportletfactory compatible with Liferay 6.1.2 because the 2.2 version is quite old (almost one year).

Thank you very much,
Martin

Hi Martin,

I am happy to announce this issue has been fixed. It's commited to SVN to it should be in next version (as of today there isn't a release date, hope to tell something in few weeks).

Meanwhile, I've created a ZIP so you can use it now. Simply extract the contents of the ZIP into your portlet SDK root folder.

Ask for help if you see more problems.

Meanwhile we are working on releasing a new version with 6.2 version compatilibi, more news in next weeks.

Thanks!

EDIT: seems the file exceed the maximum file limit (9 MB vs 4 MB ).  I uploaded ZIP here: http://www.filedropper.com/xmlportletfactory20140119
