Hi,
I'm looking for a portlet container or portal server that can be used to
develope and test portlets, without the delaying overhead of a heavy
portal server like Websphere Portal (my target platform).
My attempts to use Pluto from Eclipse (with WTP plugins) were rather
unsuccessful. I need a way to auto-deploy or publish the changed code
into the running server runtime.
Simply using the pluto-bundled tomcat from within Eclipse doesn't work,
as Eclipse recognizes only Tomcat as the runtime, and strips all other
webapps (like pluto) when starting tomcat.
Any hint on how to setup Pluto or some portal server using Pluto, or any
other server, as a fast and efficient development enviroment is highly
appreciated.
I wrote an ant script that deploys a portlet(s) into a running tomcat
container. I would only uses this for development, but it is good for
that. I use Eclipse and WTP for web stuff (jsp editing, starting
servers, etc). The ant script uses pluto's ant tasks for bundling, so
it is specific to the pluto 1.1 container (it would probably work with
1.0.x, but I haven't tried that).
