FYI, displaying HTML or JSP content in a portlet is very easy, just create
a portlet class that extends GenericPortlet with a doView method like this:
public void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response)
throws PortletException, IOException
{
PortletContext context = getPortletContext();
PortletRequestDispatcher rd = context.getRequestDispatcher("/myfile.jsp");
rd.include(request, response);
}
If you start using tag libraries, in your JSP, it is the same deal, you just
need to declare them at the top of your jsp and the .tld files have to be in
your WEB-INF directory structure.
I will not say anything negative about velocity for fear of being severely
flamed by others that subscribe to this mailing list. ;-) That, and I really
don't know enough about it to properly compare the two technologies.
But having never used it until getting involed with jetspeed, I am much more
comfortable with JSP. I still use velocity templates for my decorators
though...
