Stefano, I probably made a bigger deal out of it than was necessary, but essentially when you are running under admin and adding new portlets (IFramePortlet's), there is an URL field, but that is not what is used as the source location for the IFramePortlet. Rather, an additional parameter is used called "source", which you need to add under the parameters section with your URL.
Looking at Javadoc API documentation for the IFramePortlet, it is more explanatory, hopefully I was able to steer you there, but I may have just made a simple problem more confusing to you - my bad if that is the case.

What do you mean with "source parameter"?

I am certainly no expert, but I got it working. One thing to watch out for, is that you need to create a source parameter that has the url of your starting page, and not the URL parameter which you would have been using - the Javadocs describe how to set it up pretty well but the admin pages still show the URL parameter. Doing a file compare between the 2 java classes (WebPagePortlet), there are some differences, but I was unable to determine from comments any reasoning for those differences. Others probably know why the changes and for what reasons. I just use the WebPagePortlet2 one, sounds newer <g>.

And between WebPagePortlet1 and WebPagePortlet2? I'm developing a portal in which I embed different webapps into Jetspeed, that actually acts like a "webapps" container. I think IFramePortlet is the only one that allows internal navigation within a Jetspeed page. Am I right?
