[PORTAL] Changes and API review?

[Scott O'Bryan]

Hey everyone,

As some of you know I have been working on a bunch of enhancements in 
order to get Trinidad prepared to work on a portal environment.  While 
there is still some myfaces bridge work which needs to be done in order 
to call this a complete success, I would like to get the work I have 
done merged into the trunk in order to prevent conflicts and to get 
everyone working with the new API's.  You can find the portal code into 
the jwaldman-portal branch which has a combination of the following 
patches as well as some of the work she is working on for skinning.  I 
am going to talk about the Patches corresponding to: ADFFACES-231, 
ADFFACES-232, ADFFACES-234, and ADFFACES-235.

Most importantly, I would like your input on several public API's that 
were added as a result of this project in order to get approval from the 
community.

Also, as an FYI, I am on the JSR-301 Expert Group and have tried to 
incorporate a design which will allow us to use that spec once it's 
finished.  The design is still in the preliminary stages, so there is no 
official support just yet, but I hope to have that support soon after 
the release of the final draft.

Thanks,
 Scott O'Bryan
