I got a post on pentaho's forum here:
http://forums.pentaho.org/showthread.php?t=60902
in that post it talks about finding a liferay-demo branch in pentaho's svn as well as points to some reasons I used here to get things started.
Using the "stock" demo things work out alright but intergration is not very transparent.
one of the most recent things that got checked into the repositoy is the CAS sing in intergration between the two. As well as a means for portlets to share information with a "post office box" There are also some addition portlets in that branch as well such as actionResponsePortlet to display info returned from a xaction. there are also some helper jar's that you can build as well.
The post runs you though some of my trial and error.
So that's a lil background on that guy. But the problem comes to be I have copied the jar's over, installed pentaho via the pluggin install and then copied over the other wars as described in the wiki's pentaho_portlet page. So the problem appears to come down the cglib.
after going through the steps I get and error from pentaho calling the CallbackFilter that it can't find and is supplied by the cglib. and liferay starts up all happy and when I add the appliaction under pentaho's category I get blank protlets which sometimes I can take into edit mode. so then I download the cglib from sourceforge both 2.1 and 2.2beta1 and tosses it into the <tomcat>/common/lib directory and fire up the server pentaho then loads just fine but Liferay then crashes. Both error are explained later in the post on pentaho's forum.
I got a lil attention but nothing that really helped. So I'm hoping you guys here will be able to help supply some info or if nothing else can check out the liferay-demo in pentaho's svn.
BTW both liferay and pentaho communicate to mysql.
Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nic
