Lotus Connections Portlets - Blogging Problems

Hmmm, one of the two Blogs portlets (Blogs rather than Blogs Summary) is generating the following exception in SystemOut.log ( on WP node ): -

....

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

...

ava.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

I've removed and redeployed the portlets from the WAR file snor.pf.portlets.war and checked/double-checked the configuration between the portlet and Connections: -

bpf_config.lcaccelerator.ServiceProperties:blogs_homepage home

bpf_config.lcaccelerator.ServiceProperties:profiles_url http://connections.demo.uk.ibm.com:82/profiles

bpf_config.lcaccelerator.ServiceProperties:service_url http://connections.demo.uk.ibm.com:82/blogs

isPortletConfigured true

but to no avail.

More testing .....
