1. Re: Architecture advice
Peter Johnson Aug 7, 2008 11:09 AM (in response to nicolas duminil)I could see using this architecture if each portlet is an application unto itself and did need to interact with any other portlets or any common data.
Example: the sample news and weather portlets are in separate war files because they are totally separate applications.
Also, using this type of architecture, it is fairly easy to build a custom portal containing only the desired portlets.
Of course, if there are multiple portlets that provide access to common data, those portlets should all be bundled into a single war file. An example might be a set of portlets that are used by employees to log their work time, view reports on time spent, and so on. -

nicolas duminil Aug 8, 2008 10:26 AM (in response to nicolas duminil)Yes, all the portlets are higly inter-corelated, they need to communicate and share data. And they communicate using HTTP POST requests instead of IPC ! That's probably because IPC doesn't work with separated deployed portlet ?
