      Again, thanks to all the participants !
      Just on the heels of the JBoss Portlet Bridge 2.0 Final release, we are full steam ahead on JSF 2.0 running in a portlet. This "tech preview" release is purely for the community and to gain some support in helping us squash bugs and test the JSF 2.0 features. We will be adding RichFaces and Weld support as time progresses, but for now we want to get JSF 2.0 running solid in a portlet.

      So fire up your command line with this Maven archetype and get started:
      mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.jboss.portletbridge.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=2.0-basic -DarchetypeVersion=3.0.0.ALPHA -DgroupId=org.whatever.project -DartifactId=jsf2project -Dversion=3.0.0.ALPHA -DarchetypeRepository=https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/

      This has only been tested on the GateIn+Tomcat bundle located here.

      Like always, help and bug reports are always welcome. If you find anything, let us know in the forums or report it on Jira.

      Maven: https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/jboss/portletbridge/
      Subversion: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portletbridge/tags/3.0.0.ALPHA/
      The JBoss Portlet Bridge project is happy to announce the 2.0.0 Final release (notes) of the JSR-329 (Portlet 2.0) draft specification. Although the spec is not anywhere near final, we feel that running the combination of JSF 1.2, Richfaces, and Seam has become stable enough for a final release. With that said, I want to give a great big shout-out to all of the community and team members who've gotten us to this point...
      Alexander Smirnov - "The man behind the curtain" has been vital to this projects success.
      Prabhat Jha - Our fearless tester/developer
      Alex Sun - (provided many early patches)
      Stefan Tausendpfund - Recently approved committer/contributor!
      Waldemar Klaczynski - JSF 2.0 implementation
      Guillaume Bitaudeau, Snjezana Peco, Jan Jamrich, Gary Hu, Rafael Liu, and the many other kind folks who helped out.... Thanks again! If you want to join the project or have an idea to make it better, you're welcome to hop on the PBR jira or forums and get started. If you've already been helping out or submitted patches and want to become a committer, send me an email.

      Ok, so enough boring stuff, I have a special treat for all of you who enjoy watching a good screencast. This time I'm covering portlet 2.0 best practices and how to communicate between JSF portlets. So sit back, grab a beer (or water if still at work :) and watch my fancy portlet bridge foot work ;)
      btw, The next release will focus on JSF 2.0 and will be available within the next few weeks as a tech preview.

      GateIn 3.0 CR1 is out

      Posted by theute Feb 17, 2010
      Another monthly release just hit the roads.
      We've just released GateIn 3.0 CR1 and it's available here.

      We got an impressive wave of translation contributions, thanks a lot !
      So now GateIn is available (fully or partially) in:
      • English
      • French
      • Dutch
      • Russian
      • Spanish
      • Ukrainian

      • German
      Thank you again Luca, Soren, Mabimal, Koen, Cheng, Simon, Yuhei Mik, those who helped and those I forgot.
      Also we simplified the configuration so that it's much easier to configure a new database for JCR and the identity storage (doc is being published at time of writing, it may take some time).
      The whole release note is available here.

      On the way to the final release planned for March 12th if we don't hit major issues.

      On a side note, we grouped the videos about GateIn on a Vimeo channel, see below:

      GateIn


      Thank everyone for your interest.
      As communicated last week. We've just released our Beta 5 release of GateIn.

      On top of the various bug fixes, we've welcomed the contributions from Ji-Woong Choi and Jun Shik Jeaon for a Korean translations of the shipped-in user interfaces and from Luca Stancapiano for the Italian translation. Thanks a lot !
      If you are willing to contribute a translation of GateIn, it's fairly easy, see here and ask for help if needed.

      Also a note to say that all the members of the JBoss crew and part of the eXo crew will meet the week from January 25th to 29th in Switzerland so if you happen to be around and willing to meet us, this would be the best time, please ping me.

      Onward for a candidate release now :) If you are willing to help there are plenty of tasks, easy and hard ones on the Jira.

      As always you will find the download links on the GateIn website.

      Thanks to everyone who helped on that release !
      After many long days (and nights) both from our developers and you, we are able to deliver the CR for the final version of the JBoss Portlet Bridge. Please download and upgrade to this latest version and let us know if you experience any issues.

      A big thanks goes out to all who contributed, including community members Stefan Tausendpfund and Waldemar Klaczynski!

      As always, with a new release comes a new screencast. Check out the new BridgeAdmin demo application which showcases RichFaces in the bridge along with GateIn's JMX services.

      • Arabic
      • English
      • French
      • Korean
      • Russian
      • Spanish

      Thanks a lot !

      GateIn Project roadmap

      Posted by theute Jan 11, 2010
      While the project is stabilizing, there are few issues left that are being worked on such as:
      • JCR clustering based on JBoss Cache for fault tolerance
      • Portal failover
      • i18n
      • WSRP
      JCR clustering:
      The JBoss-eXo partnership opened the doors to have a deep discussion and some work done at the clustering layer of eXo JCR. Previous implementation of eXo JCR was using jGroups directly and is now using JBoss Cache which enables a much larger choice of configurations depending on users' needs. While the Beta05 release will ship in with the previous implementation, the coming CR1 release will embed the new one.

      Portal failover:
      Noone likes his navigation to be resetted, even if the machine that serves him dies. Navigation failover is a time consuming job that requires proper testing. If you are aware of issues, please let us know.

      i18n:
      i18n is always a tedious job and the translations usually come from community (always remember to contribute ;) ) based on free time people have. We just got support for Korean and this will make its way in the Beta 5 release but we are planning to welcome new supported languages such as Japanese and Traditional chinese in the coming weeks (By CR1). i18n is the easiest approach to the project for contributors, please contact us if interested.

      WSRP:
      The goal for GateIn 3.0 is to reach the same feature set as in JBoss Portal 2.7, also to make a proper integration it has been decided to fully rewrite the administration portlet using WebUI the component-model framework used by all the administration portlets. None of them are using JSF which enables users to not have to worry about clashes between their JSF portlets and the shipped-in ones.

      For those reasons, we can't claim the next release as being a Candidate for a Release (CR). We've then decided to introduce a new Beta release and shift the planned released by a month. As you may have seen we are trying to keep a monthly based released until we reach the final release.

      So far we've released:
      • 3.0.0-Beta01  on 03/Sep/09
      • 3.0.0-Beta02  on   21/Oct/09
      • 3.0.0-Beta03  on   27/Nov/09
      • 3.0.0-Beta04  on   22/Dec/09
      And now we plan the following dates:  (Usually corresponds to the code freeze, available bits come few days after):
      • 3.0.0-Beta05  on  15/Jan/10
      • 3.0.0-CR01  on  12/Feb/10
      • 3.0.0-GA  on  12/March/10
      Thanks everyone !

      Note: this new plan doesn't affect the release of the Enterprise Portal Platform 5.
      A note to announce the new beta release of GateIn. Download it here.

      Noticeable features are performance improvement on the JCR backend and initial support for WSRP 1.0 with its new administration UI.

      The full changelog is available on JIRA.

      We've been asked a couple of times about our roadmap, the current roadmap is as following, we will do our best to achieve it but that will also depend on external contributions. (How to contribute)

      - 3.0.0 CR1 is planned for mid-January
      - 3.0.0 Final is planned for mid-February

      You can track progress and pick issues on which you want to help from this page, you can also view the planned releases from the calendar.

      Thanks to everyone who worked hard again on this release !
      If you are migrating from the 1.0 bridge or are following along with older articles or screencasts, you will need to know the following changes to develop your JSF portlet on the latest 2.0 bridge.


      1. There are 2 extensions (a.k.a. Bridgelets) in the old 1.0 bridge that have been incorporated into the core codebase. These are now available without adding any additional dependencies to your project.
        First is the SSO extension which is now configurable in components.xml:


        Second is the RichFaces script wrapper which is now disabled or enabled in web.xml as a context param:


            org.jboss.portletbridge.WRAP_SCRIPTS
            true


      2. Pay attention to the renaming of the render policy context param, especially if you are writing a JSF portlet which uses JSPs:


            javax.portlet.faces.RENDER_POLICY
           
            NEVER_DELEGATE



      Those are the basic changes you need to know. As always, refer to the latest 2.0 documentation here if you run into any problems. Or shoot us a message on the forums.
      This is it !

      It has already leaked on Twitter and on some blogs, eXo and JBoss released the latest and greatest GateIn 3.0 Beta 3.
      The changelog is quite large so I will only emphasize the fact that we worked a lot on performance improvement and fixed a lot of reported issues.

      GateIn is now also available in Spanish thanks to David Calente who contributed that translation, thank you !

      We also added some basic examples of portlets to show the required configuration files. We hope to find the time to go through them on this blog but you can already have a look here. (note the empty web.xml file, less configuration, less headaches).

      If you happen to understand French, Nicolas Martignole wrote a series of articles on GateIn Portal, thank you Nicolas:
      As usual, you can download GateIn from here: http://www.jboss.org/gatein/downloads.html

      Last but not least, we've open a section about contributions around GateIn that are not necessarily part of GateIn, the two first references are from Julien Viet (eXo), we hope to list external contributions, you can propose them to the mailing list for contributors, the IRC channel for contributors, or by contacting one of us.

      Thanks to the Twitterers for sharing your positive experience. Remember we are here.

      Want to be part of the GateIn story ? Join us now is the best time !

      Thanks you all for the support, we'll keep working hard.
      We've all worked hard to deliver this new Beta release of GateIn, the merged portal of eXo Portal and JBoss Portal.

      Apart from bug fixes, new UI changes and support for Russian (and the things I forgot, we are consolidating the JIRAs), we've (Nicolas Filotto more precisely)  reworked the packaging aspect of components letting companies have more freedom to modify a portal by adding components and without modifying the shipped-in content.

      Extra attention has been made to give you more to play with, all sources are now fully available.
      We've added pages to give you starters to understand the inside of GateIn but also explain some of our processes. This goes with our pages that explain how to contribute to the project. This is also where you will find information on how to track the development of GateIn.

      There is also a very rough documentation available. We'll keep working on this.

      For all questions we still have our forums available here.

      Remember our main website: www.gatein.org
