I too have found a similar need. I want to embed a Yazd newsgroup in a portal, and found the same issues with the WebPagePortlet. I noticed a WebPagePortlet2 or something that was similar, but didn't always work right.
I would be willing to help unit test etc a webpageportlet, but not sure about coding one as the lead.

This seems like a fairly obvious question to me, but I haven't seen it discussed anywhere. I would like to have a portlet that can display an entire web application that lives on a different server, and through which I can interact with that application just as if I visited it directly with my browser. The portlet ought to be able to filter some of the application's HTML, which is why an IFramePortlet won't do the job. The WebPagePortlet, on the other hand, is too basic -- as the name implies, it is usually fine for displaying a single web page from another application, but will generally get messed up with even basic interactions. I am thinking of a portlet that plays the role of a browser towards the application, including cookie handling, redirections, etc., while displaying a possibly filtered version of the HTML to the portal user. All of the user's interaction with the application should go via the portal server. Has any such thing been developed? Is it (or maybe provisions for it) contained in the upcoming Portlet API Standard? If neither, I will probably start implementing it myself -- would there be interest to include such a thing in Jetspeed?
