the portlets can be jsp. remember that context object is always null in jsp :-)

I would say that it works perfectly well for my strategy, but I believe there's still an issue over how JSPs handle actions. I've been pushing that one off, but I will eventually reach a point where I can't ignore it.FWIW, my strategy is to prototype in JSP, then move the code into a class that inherits from AbstractInstancePortlet. For the most part, my approach has been to have that class generate what amounts to a List of objects which are placed into the request. The JSP is then limited to iterating through the list and simply displaying the getXXX attributes of each object. My JSP files are nothing more than iterators, and this works pretty well for me. If this is a radically incorrect approach, I'd appreciate the feedback now!!! Once you reach this level of isolation, it really doesn't matter if you choose JSP or Velocity. My rational behind choosing JSPs is as follows: 1) Its faster (for me, but YMMV) to prototype my Java code in JSPs 2) Dreamweaver understands JSPs 3) If I need to contract out, JSP-savvy designers are far more common (and hence cheaper) than Velocity-savvy ones 4) Thus far, I have the CPU cycles to spare on JSP, though this may change once I go live -- Michael On 1/29/03 8:53 PM, "Mark Orciuch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Furthermore, you'll find that JSP's integration is largely a kludge. > > How so?
