.ear is just a packaging type. .ear can contain various different components like EJBs, servlets etc...

Portlet is a web component and has nothing to do with the packaging type. As far as i know, you can develop a portlet and package it in a .war which effectively means, you can even deploy it as .ear (with the .war inside it). So i don't get the question you are asking.

Huh?

Also, please use full words and not text-speak (such as tnx).

What reading have you done on what a portlet is and on how to develop a portlet? Portlets have very specific API requirements - most liekly you will have to write some additional code.

Also, what is in your EAR file? EJBs? A web app? Entity beans?

Without knowing details on what you have it is impossible to offer concrete suggestions.

my ear project includes Web application. Web application includes Entity, Session, iReport, EJB etc.

So I'm going to put my ear project into JBoss Portal as one of the part.


P.S Sorry for that another language. My friend told me that thing so i translated that and forgot to delete.

You will have to write one or more portlets to access your EJBs. You will still deploy your EAR as an EAR; the portlets that you write you can either include as a WAR within the EAR or you can deploy it separately.

[Tuvshinjargal Narankhuu]

Tnx. I will try it

Hmm, you have been asking the same question over and over again. Peter already told you what needs to be done. Did you try that?

Hi,

seems there is a misunderstanding. There are people trying to help you and you don't know what information you need to provide.
We don't know how far are you familiar with portlet development.
Please note if you develop an ordinary web application (not important if it is EAR or WAR, we talk about its web representation), it usually means you cannot directly put it into a portal. You have to develop a portlet application what enables you to run it on a portal.

There is a shortcut - JSF-portlet bridge (e.g.http://labs.jboss.com/portletbridge) what enables you to integrate your JSF web app as a portlet, but still with few constraints (e.g. I think you cannot pass bean values as GET link params, ..). Still it works only if you have a JSF application as GUI.

Best regards
Gabriel
