Zheng had put together an initial framework for the Admin portlets. In essence, the framework was as scaled down version of struts - specifically designed for portlets. While it was great work, I am personally opposed to hosting a framework (no matter how scaled down) in pluto, simply because I could see maintenance of the framework alone growing out of control quickly. Enhancement requests would role in simply due to the fact that others are using the framework for different portlets. . . .

I'm curious what others thoughts are. IMHO we have 3 choices. Please indicate your preference:

[ ] Utilize an existing framework for the admin portlet.  Why rewrite?
[ ] Roll our own framework for the admin portlet. Why not?
[ ] Utilize a simple controller portlet.  Simplicity is best!

Thanks,

David
