Hi Rich -

Has anyone tested Beehive on BEA Portal? If not, I would be happy to try 
this out for you guys. Srini and me are writing a book on Apache Beehive 
and want to include a chapter on how Beehive works in a Portal 
environment. 

Any help from you or anyone on this group would be very much appreciated, 
and credited appropriately in the book.

Thanks
Regards,

Re: Beehive in Portal Environment.






Hi Srini and Kunal,

I'm assuming this question is about Page Flow working in a JSR168 
environment (with its Portlet Request, etc.).  Unfortunately, direct 
support for running in a JSR168 portlet didn't make it into v1.0, but it 
really should be in 1.1 (any comments you have would be great to add to 
the recently-created Beehive Wishlist at 
http://wiki.apache.org/beehive/WishList ).  NetUI/Page Flow *is* set up 
internally to work in a portal/portlet environment, since its previous 
incarnation as part of the WebLogic Workshop server runtime was 
integrated into WebLogic Portal (and I know from the WebLogic Portal 
people that Beehive is being integrated/tested in the next version of 
that product).  Given that appropriate abstractions/hooks are there, it 
*may* be possible to write an adapter that would make all this work 
without changing any Beehive code... but I'm not sure about this and 
haven't looked into it yet.  Doing this right may require deeper changes 
to the Page Flow APIs.

Just so we're all on the same page, by "working" inside a portlet, I 
mean that an entire page flow, including all the parameters/attributes 
in its requests and all its internally-stored session state, is scoped 
so it is independent of all other Page Flow portlets, and all its 
rendered URLs are automatically rewritten to take advantage of this 
scoping behavior and to re-post to Portal URLs rather than straight 
action/page URLs.

If I've missed any piece of your question, let me know.

Thanks,
Rich
