Vaadin Control Panel for Liferay

Flow
1

I’m trying to deploy this portlet. Everything looks okay in the logs but I can’t seem to find the portlet when trying to add it to the page. Where can I find this? Thanks.

2

It is added to the Liferay Control Panel (Manage → Control Panel → Portal → Vaadin)

3

for some reason, it’s not showing up… i don’t see any errors in the logs either…

Strange because it deploys nicely for me, like

This is in Liferay 6.0.5/Tomcat with Vaadin 6.6.0. If it was some kind of version conflict I think it still should deploy or give some error message…

Have you found what was happening ?

Because I am experiencing the exact same issue

here is the deploy of the controlPanel war file

But for some reason it’s not showing inside of the control panel…

I am using Portal 6.0.6 and vaadin 6.6.2 because it was installed by portal plugins.

How can I fix this ? there is not even an error to point me somewhere.

Thanks

OK, Stupid me !

I didn’t put the .war in the deploy directory of Liferay, I did put it inside the tomcat/webapps folder, so it was being deployed as a portlet.

Now I copied it in the deploy dir, restarted Liferay and it installed OK and it’s showing like expected.
