ContextHelp add-on: How to work with ApplicationPortlet2?

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hello,

I have a problem when I use ContextHelp add-on with portlet.xml having this codelet.
(MyApplication extends Vaadin Application)

...
	<portlet-class>
		com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.server.ApplicationPortlet2
	</portlet-class>
		
	<init-param>
		<name>application</name>
		<value>com.portlet.application.MyApplication</value>
	</init-param>

        <init-param>
            <name>widgetset</name>
            <value>com.vaadin.portal.gwt.PortalDefaultWidgetSet</value>
        </init-param>
...

First, does this add-on support ApplicationPortlet2? I use Liferay6 and it works fine when I use below rather than ApplicationPortlet2.

<portlet-class>com.liferay.util.bridges.mvc.MVCPortlet</portlet-class>

What is the solution?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Hi Brendan,

In order to use add-ons that have custom widgets in Liferay, you need to compile and deploy a new widget set. This is easiest to do using
Vaadin Control Panel for Liferay
.
