And I don't even know if it's possible ot include the HTMLPortlets derectely in the psml file. My understanding is that I need to create a portlet entry for each page, then add them to the PSML file. The problem here, even if I wanted to use this method, there's no example about adding the portlet entry to the registry for JS2. As far as I can remember, I did this while ago, but it was through j2-admin tool, where you can choose the portlet to add it to the page, then you can go and customize the url. I can not find this portlet. I would prefer to add the pages to psml directly.

Any ideas?

Ron, thank you. This was my suggestion in the first place. What do I do with the existing html pages ? Do I add each individual page separately as a Html portlets and put it into psml file ? What about the menus ?

You might want to think about this from a different approach.
You might find that you just need to add the existing HTML as html portlets to you new portal.
Make these available to anyone prior to logging in.
If you go to www.napaexcellence.ca, you can see all of the public content which is for the most part static content. We built this portal in stages. The first stage was a "marketing" site that only had static HTML pages delivered by Jetspeed and then we added some dynamic portlets (catalog search) and finally a full portal.

Hello everyone,
I am looking to add jetspeed to an existing website. The site already contains few static html pages. We need to give the users the ability to login and use applications provided by jetspeed. A problem would be is how to introduce JS2 to the system. A possible way is to add login fields (username and password) to the existing pages, and forward the credential to jetspeed. So the users, will be visiting the same old pages (HTML), and they can login with their credentials. A problem with this approach is, it limits our ability to add portlets that can be viewed by the public. So, if we decided that portlet1 is to be available to all users, we have to find a solution for this and it will be a pain to do it. Another way is to use HTML portlets or IFrame, but these will be pain as well, as we have to create a portlet for each existing page and update the links back and forth, plus we have to consider the navigation menus.

The existing site consists of html pages, and menu items (contact us, about us, products(a page for each ), services(a page for each ), home , documentation,......etc) with javascripts.

I though about using the concept of subsites, but AFAIK, it's for hosting another jetspeed instance, and can not be used for HTML.

If someone have done something similar to this please provide me with an advice.

Thank you in advance.
