struts in portlets

[pedrosacosta]

I'm a newbie in struts, and i want to know if it's possible to use struts in our portlets? If so, i have to have anything more beside apache struts?

Try this framework I submitted to PortletSwap.

It gives you formbeans populated with request parameters.
It's reasonably well documented.
It has a decent demo portlet that responds to several types of clicks and saves your changes in the portals database (using PortletPreferences).

Everything you need to make a decent set of portlets that will work in any compliant JSR168 portal environment.

The framework is here

http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/portletswap/downloads/portlets/framework/BaseMVCPortlet-Framework-1.0-10.27.2005.zip

All you need to try it out is:

1. download it
2. Unpack it
3. Copy the 2 wars in C:\BaseMVCPortlet-Framework-1.0-10.27.2005\mvc-portlet-fwk\dist to your C:\jboss-4.0.3RC2\server\default\deploy directory
These wars are:

sample-portal.war
simple-theme.war

4. Point your browser at your server:
http://localhost:8080/portal/portlets/

Good Luck!

Thanks for your help.

I tried this and did exactly according to your instructions but still couldn't get it to work. I use jboss-portal-2.0.1-jboss-4.0.3SP1 which is a bundled installation of jboss and jboss portal together.

Any clue?

Best regards
