RE DOCS for embedding pluto including examples? walkthrough perhaps..

Hi this was posted a while ago on the list, was just wondering if anyone has
them or anything similar,
am totally stuck at my end ..

Essentially, I want to personal certain aspects of a website, i.e. and am
trying to embed pluto but so far no portals are getting rendered,

I started with the bog standard Helloworld portlet

essentially . this is what i need to get done .. on the website create
personalised pages accessible a location e.g.
http://www.mydomain.com/personal ..
i tried setting this up with a the pluto install but it all went wrong ..
;-)

excerpts .. portlet.xml

<portlet>
    <description>HelloWorldPortletDescription</description>
    <portlet-name>HelloWorldPortlet</portlet-name>
    <display-name>Hello Portlet</display-name>
    <portlet-class>com.mydoamin.portlets.HelloWorldPortlet</portlet-class>
........
</portlet>
--- END
------> pluto-portal-driver.config.xml

<portlet-app>
    <context-path>/pluto</context-path>
    <portlets>
      <portlet name="HelloWorldPortlet"/>
    </portlets>
  </portlet-app>



  <!-- Render configuration which defines the portal pages. -->
  <render-config default="HelloWorldPortlet">
    <page name="HelloWorldPortlet" uri="/WEB-INF/themes/foo.jsp">
     <portlet context="/pluto" name="HelloWorldPortlet"/>
    </page>
  </render-config>


---- END

------ web.xml
<listener>
    <listener-class>org.apache.pluto.driver.PortalStartupListener
</listener-class>
  </listener>

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>plutoPortalDriver</servlet-name>
    <display-name>Pluto Portal Driver</display-name>
    <description>Pluto Portal Driver Controller</description>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.pluto.driver.PortalDriverServlet
</servlet-class>
  </servlet>


  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>plutoPortalDriver</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/portal/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

---- END

---- > foo.jsp

<div id="portlets-left-column">
          <c:forEach var="portlet" varStatus="status"
                     items="${currentPage.portletIds}" step="2">
            <c:set var="portlet" value="${portlet}" scope="request"/>
            <c:out value="${pageContext.request.contextPath}"/><br />
             <c:out value="${portlet}"/>

            <jsp:include page="portlet-skin.jsp"/>
          </c:forEach>
        </div>
---> END -> pretty much exactly the same as the example webapp in pluto 1.1.
..



What am i missing ... i keep getting the cross context exceptions .. and am
not quite sure why ..
