Installing Jetspeed 2 and deploying Struts/JSF Portlets
One of things we're moving to on my current project is portlet development. The client has a bunch of apps they want developed and it makes a lot of sense to develop them as portlets and deploy them in a portlet container. Because of this, we spent some time this week mucking around with Jetspeed-2
. Bruce
and I figured out how to install it, and then I did a bit of work with Equinox
to deploy the Struts and JSF versions as portlets.
I didn't get equinox-struts or equinox-jsf fully functioning in Jetspeed, but I did get them to deploy and bring up the first page. I expect to do some more work in the next month to get these apps fully functional. In the meantime, I've put together the following tutorials.
- How to Install Jetspeed
- Convert Equinox to a Struts Portlet
- Convert Equinox to a JSF Portlet
If you have any tips on getting JSF or Struts WARs working in Jetspeed, please let me know.
