    JSR-168 compliance?

    mkural

      Hello,

      I would like to ask at what stage the planning on JSR-168 portlet compliance (the ability to deploy JSR-168 portlets) is in Nukes on JBoss. Has there been any actual coding done in this direction yet?

      Thank you very much,
      Mete

          we are thinking about doing

            Did you think about integrating with an already existing portlet container (not portal server, just the portlet container portion)? So you don't have to write a portlet container from scratch. Some open-source portlet containers out there:

            Pluto portlet container
            eXo portlet container inside eXo portal (www.exoplatform.org)

            Do you think this is feasible rather than writing a portlet container from scratch?

              I don't know yet, this is not bullet #1 on the list. I think implementing portlet is not that hard and I did not looked at Mickey's dog.

                I've posted a request on both the eXo and liferay maliling lists to think about joining Nukes. Let's see who will go first.

                  By the way just to let you now that Brian from Liferay had emailed JBoss about this matter a year and half ago but JBoss did not respond. Maybe now is a good time to respond to him regarding joining efforts with Liferay. Perhaps Julien could get on that.

                    Sounds like the right thing to do.
                    Julien?

                      18 months ago I was not there, so I don't know. I will get in touch to see if we can share interests here.

                        That would be really cool! We are looking at both Nukes and Liferay, one for managing content, the other for providind a personalized view on the content.

                        At the moment we would go for Liferay because of the JSR-168 support.

                        All in all I think creating a PostNuke clone is aiming high enough for release 1.0. But after that real CMS/Portlet containers should be targeted (like Zope, Turbine 2.0, Cocoon etc.).

                        Thanks for the product and keep it going!

                          FWIW -- I think JSR-168 support in Nukes will be cool someday, and is probably inevitable, but I hope Julien pays _zero_ attention to it till at least several weeks after he's gotten 1.0 out the door and gotten some much needed rest.

                          Sorry to be blunt, but i detected a bit of tag-team pressure in this thread that IMO is insensitive to the phase the Nukes project is in -- coming down to the final _days_ of a 1.0 release.

                          Every open src project has its own culture/netiquette, and perhaps some more tuning-in to the JBoss forums and pages and code would be wise. (BTW, i'm not in any way an "official" with JBoss Group or JBoss project, but just a user and supporter who thinks these guys are doing a damn good job.... and I want to help keep 'em on track to a good 1.0 release.)

                            we have jsr168 in the pipeline, kevin will implement ths jsr for us and will start that work very soon.

                              That's great to hear :-)

                              I have a simple suggestion. I think you should really consider using an already developed opensource portlet container such as Apache Pluto or eXo portlet container instead of writing your own JSR-168 portlet container from scratch. It will save you a lot of work and make it much easier to get the JSR-168 TCK compliance certification from Sun. For your information, TCK compliance certification for JSR-168 is free for qualifying open source projects.

                                As we posted on another thread, the liferay folks tried to join Nukes about a year ago, but were ignored at the time. A good candidate to talk to for JSR168 support.

                                  Has anybody contacted Liferay yet? You can contact Brian from Liferay.
