EP5.0 Custom .par File Does Not Work in EP6.0 SP2

Question

I have a .par file called CustomerSearch.par that is used in EP5.0, and I am now trying to get this .par file to work in EP6.0 SP2.  I noticed the directory structure changes, so my .par structure is this:
CustomerSearch.par
-->  portal-inf
portalapp.xml
lib
CustomerSearch.jar
TableViewExample.class
pagelet
TableView.jsp
I am getting the following error in the portal console logs when I try to access the component after I have uploaded the CustomerSearch.par file.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Hi Bernhard,
nice to hear that we resolve the problem
> Karstens answer solved my base problem,
> Detlevs answer lead into the right direction.
Not that I've that need for points...
It's just the question why my answer (if you follow the link, my answer was: delete two lines, from which one is essential to be deleted) only "lead into the right direction"... In fact, it solved the base problem, I would claim for me
To give the technical background: If your write
<property name="ComponentType" value="jspnative"/>
the portal runtime expects a component consisting of a native JSP; the second directive -
<property name="JSP" value="pagelet/InitialPage.jsp"/>
- for this case tells where to find this JSP. So if you delete the first line, <i>at least</i> the second line has no sense anymore. To clean up such a portalapp.xml, it just makes sense also to delete the second line.
Best regards
Detlev
