I have implemented a new feature in the PageManager to leverage use of the
"navigation" profiling rule to provide subsite isolation/partitioning. I
have also extended the J2 demo site to add a subsite. While not related to
subsites per se, this example also has two users associated with it to
demonstrate a handy profiling technique that can be used to specify default
pages for users with multiple roles.
Login and subsite/subsite or subsite2/subsite2 to navigate to the subsite.
Note that you will be deposited in different default pages depending on the
user's profiling rule and that the global navigation elements from the root
directory are not included in the subsite. The content for this subsite is
located in ../WEB-INF/pages/__subsite-root, (note that subsites will always
be denoted by the "__" prefix). See the remaining configuration details in
populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql.
Security configuration is not partitioned and is still controlled globally
by the principal configurations in the security DB tables and the
/page.security file. Consequently, a principle will have to have view
permissions on "/" in order to view the subsite. We can consider
partitioning the security infomation per site if it seems appropriate in the
future... I did not see the immediate value in attempting this at this point
without input from others.
No doubt the subsite profiling and related security issues may need tuning
as they are used. Feedback is always welcome!

You should probably make this announcement to Jetspeed User list too,
but perhaps AFTER we have more documentation on it....
