Hi, I don't know too much about Jetspeed. But I wrote a few comments below, anyway.

My first guess is that you have to write a new controller or a new control by your own. > - Does Jetspeed support using rules (against some database data) to > determine a set of portlets to add to the page?

There are a few "boxes" (= HTML-table) which are used to render the output of Jetspeed: - box, which contains the whole portlet - box, which contains the title bar with the icons - box, which contains the portlet's body - box, which contains the pane of a controller. The portlet set of a controller is displayed inside of that one. All you can do with styles is applying different classes of a css-file to each of these tables. Most often this is restricted to changes of the border and the color. If you want to do more, you can simply extend the data that a style contains. To apply these extensions you have to implement your own controls. > - How does Jetspeed compare to commercial products on the > market? Is it "feature complete"? I would also be interested in an answer to this question. best regards Matthias Wimmer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
