1. Re: how to customize User portlet
javatwo Jul 19, 2005 12:48 AM (in response to javatwo)I looked at source code. It looks it is not customizable in terms of property name/values pair. The UserPortlet, like other portlets, should use public API ? But it uses lots of JBoss impl APIs.

javatwo Jul 19, 2005 8:21 PM (in response to javatwo)Anyone using JBoss Portal seriously such as commercial web site? UserPortlet is a big limitation, and user/roles based default page too, ie. after a user's login, which page to go? For example, Job hunting web site, job seekers and companies have different account info. Any help appreciated.

julien1 Jul 19, 2005 8:28 PM (in response to javatwo)after login you go on the page the user wanted to see :
for instance user is on page /abc
he clicks on /auth/def which requires authentication
he is diverted to the auth page
he authenticates
then he goes on page /auth/def
jboss portal use the servlet container authentication to proceed to login. -

javatwo Jul 19, 2005 11:14 PM (in response to javatwo)Hi Julien,
Thanks for reply.
In the portlet spec 1.0, PLT.17 User Information and PLT.D User Information attribute names. Are they intended for User information to be customizable. The attribute names include
user.business-info. ...
These attribute names may be for business users.
Does the UserPortlet support these attribute names?
The spec says:
The deployment descriptor of a portlet application must define the user attribute names
the portlets use.
But they are not defined by Jboss Portal/portlets.
Thanks for help. -

Can I plugin something(a module) to make the UserPortlet support both personal and business account? The current UserPortlet is for personal account. Thanks.
