Exception raised while creating Advisor

Question

Hi,
I've built a portal based on the exampleportal. I'm now trying to integrate personalization.
I've loaded 2 documents in the default content repository using loaddocs, and
created a content selector in the EBCC (I synchronized after that). When creating
my content selection rules, I can do a preview, and see my two documents, so the
rule is working. Now, when I use the <pz:contentSelector ...> tag, exactly as
described in the documentation, I get a stack trace saying : " Exception raised
while creating Advisor". The stack doesn't tell anything about the error...
I also tried using the <cm:select...> tag in various fashions, but it always
returns me an array of size 0, or null.
I haven't changed the configuration for the DocumentManager... What could have
gone wrong ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks
Phil

Hello Philippe,
Did you restart the docPool after you ran the BulkLoader (with loaddocs)?
( http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs70/dev/conmgmt.htm#1023455 )
That's probably not the problem, becuase I'd guess that you may have
already restarted your server a few times and you still have the problem,
but I thought I'd start there.
Also, did you make sure your portal contains all the components necessary
for the features you are using? Are you using Portal 7.0? If you are using
Portal 7.0 and you created your portal domain with the domain configuration
wizard, then your portal does not contain all of the tag libraries that it
needs for full personalization. Compare your portal to the sampleportal.
There is a note about this in the Release Note for CR079828
