MyPortal still needs a lot of work. It should really be just the shell of the portal and include only a very few portlets that are part of the framework.
Higher level components, including applications components, can have their own portlets that appear in MyPortal by having data in seed/etc data files, and that data will tell MyPortal about these portlets. OOTB the MyPortal stuff shouldn't know anything about any portlets (other than a few basic framework ones). At runtime MyPortal will look for information about other portlets, but that information should come only from the higher level components where the portlets themselves live. -David On Dec 31, 2009, at 4:50 AM, Bruno Busco wrote: > That's true, it would be still a dependence. > > Anyway, in this case the MyPortal is considered to be dependent from > all other components (because it "mounts" portlets defined by all > other components in the default portalPages). > It should be possible to use the MyPortal component even if one of the > other components is not used. > > I think a different logic is needed here. > > -Bruno > > 2009/12/31 David E Jones <d...@me.com>: >> >> That still represents a dependency on the other component. >> >> Lower level components should not even have anything that represents an >> awareness of a higher level component. >> >> The solution, and the only solution, is to move the data to the higher level >> components.
