    Can portal serve applications

    ssjvackar

      HI,

      I know this may seem like a strange question, but is there a way to configure JBoss Portal to run standard wep apps in the same way it can run portlets?

      Thanks,
      Vackar

            Well basically we have set of standard web apps (not portlets) which we would like to integrate in some way that a portal allows you to integrate portlets.

            I'm aware that a portal solution may not be the way to go, but if there is a way of configuring JBoss portal to serve standard wep apps in additional (or independantly of) portlets, then it would solve all our problems.

            Thanks in advance,

              I think it is in alignement with the web clipping stuff we were talking (with Chris) a few weeks ago that would be a generic web clipping solution that would use a servlet request dispatcher to fetch data (instead of a remote site).
