Re: Is Jetspeed a good solution?

[kristian . weissmann]

Hi,

major +:
- open source (no license cost sources)
- really nice portlet functions

major minus:
- high learning curve because of thight integration with turbine + not 
easy to build on existing (standardized) knowledge -> EJB etc ...
- maybe to limited access control (see my posting: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/jetspeed-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg07717.html 
and please help me with that issue!)

Subject:Is Jetspeed a good solution?


Hello,

We have determined that Jetspeed is a candidate for use as our portal. 
This
determination was made by:

1. It was quickly implemented and tailored for a demonstration.

2. There is a migration path to a commercial portal. JetSpeed's API was 
the
basis for WebSphere. Should there ever be a need for a commercial portal, 
a
conversion to Websphere is feasible.

3. The activity in this mailing list is indicative of possible support.

Firstly does this make senses? As well, is there anything else one should
consider?

I also wish to quickly identify any gotchas in the use of Jet Speed as
portal for a business. We are targeting Jetspeed as a possible solution 
for
different user groups: 100's, 1000's 10,000's of users. Where does 
jetspeed
top out on load, and what productions sites are actually using JetSpeed?

Also, please indicate any major plus' or minus' on the use of Jetspeed.

Thank you.

Re: JSP vs Velocity

[kristian . weissmann]

Hi,

I think the popularity could be much better if the underlying turbine would
not be such a high learning curve. With turbine 3 it may be much better,
since then people can bet on horses, which they already know (especially
EJB). IMHO, What also could give jetspeed a real boost is if it would rely
on struts(*) - but I guess that is impossible, since turbine has its own
mcv-model ...

(*) maybe struts does not have such a sophisticated mvc model as turbine,
but it definitively has much more familiarity and pervasion (just look at
all these struts books and articles). for me it is a quasi-standard for
web-based mvc.

JSP vs Velocity

[Wei Guan]

I like Velocity. However, there are lots of JSP tags, such as JSP output stream buffer 
cache tag I could use, I had hard time to find similiar Velocity library.

Which do you prefer? Any serious JetSpeed Velocity development and deployment?

How is the popularity of JetSpeed? 

Re: portlet object in doUpdate()

[Wei Guan]

Pierre:

I tested your workaround. I used velocity. I used POST. Here is the
behavior.
if I removed "action", I could get "portlet" in doUpdate(), however,
buildNormalContext is never got called.
if I keep the "action", the "portlet" is null in doUpdate(),
buildNormalContext is called after doUpdate().

Is it a bug?

Thanks.

Jetspeed Resources

[Sangam Dash]

Hi

Can i access the portlet classes from a directory that is not inside 
tomcat_home/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/classes?
I have a folder outside tomcat_home which contains all the jsp and html 
files and the other portlet classes.
I want to specify that folder name so that a lot of different portal 
directory can access some common files and portlets..
I cant find the exact place where shud i change the path information.
Or can i place the common files at the top of tomcat_home/webapps so 
that every folder inside webapps like jetspeed can access those common 
files...
Can it be done?
Please help me out...

Jetspeed Access Control

[Kristian Weissmann]

Hi Jetspeed-Community,

I have some problems configuring access control for jetspeed and really hope
someone can help, :(

- I need to make some tab-panes non editable, e.g. 

| MyHome[X] | CustomerInfo | ProjectInfo | SomethingElse |

only the home tab should have the edit button and the others should not be
allowed to be editable.
The same goes with the edit-button on the right side (where one can add new
panes etc.) - how can I
disable this button?

- Via the MyHome tab the user can reach user-specific portlets, which can be
added, removed, minimized
etc. as the user likes it. Portlets behind the CustomerInfo and ProjectInfo
are role-based portlets
which can be included in the user-psml with the psml-reference mechanism
quite nicely. The SomethinElse
has portlets based on a group. This Pane is accessible by both roles
(customerInfo, ProjectInfo).

And, some portlets on the SomethingElse pane should not be visible for a one
group (let´s say for the
ProjectInfo role). Is this possible? I could not manage this with security
definitions in security.xreg
and security references in the psml files...

Thanks,
Kris

RE: Modify navigation templates

[Moabi Nyokong]

WEB-INF/templates/jsp/navigations/html/top_loggedIn.jsp is where you would
need to do this, but the fact that this is nothing more than a display
template and not a JSPPortlet, anything you do here won't be able to
interact with the controlled system.
Another alternative (but I'm not sure if it works 100%) would be to use
 tag to include a named portlet from your system, in
templates/jsp/layouts/html/default.jsp instead of top_loggedIn.jsp
And see if that added portlet can be used the way you want...

You probably don't want to do this in JS, for 3 reasons:
- you don't trust your client (and if you do, you should not :)
- you can't guarantee that your client will actually execute the
 code
- you break the MVC pattern by encoding controller information 
 in your template and tying your different templates together

IMO, you should never explicitely set a template from another
one but always abstract your application flow through a "state"
that is mapped to a template view by your controller code.
It also makes it much easier to validate the current state of the
application.

I agree with what you are saying but :
1 - I can bypass security with hidden fields the same way I could bypass 
it with JS
2 - Almost everybody has javascript enabled
3 - Using JS is like your hidden fields : designers can change them 
without breaking anything.

I still don't see any differences. Where are my glasses :-)

Subject: RE: Flow and State of a portlet


De : Wei Guan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
 

First, I would like to say: Great job.

I am still puzzling on how to build highly-interactive 
portlet. Here is a user case:
1) the default template is page1.vm rendering default data 
prepared by buildNormalConent of Action1.java
2) on page1.vm, there are couple of links, each link will 
result an action, generate different data and need diifferent 
templates to render. For example, there is a link "link1" on page1.vm:
   page1.vm ---link1--->method in action1>page2.vm.

I think this is the sequence in JetSpeed
1) action1.buildNormalContent ---> page1.vm
2) --->link1--->method in action1 
-->action1.buildNormalContent--->action1.setTempate(page2.vm)-
-->page2.vm.

I am looking for a solution like this.
1) action1.buildNormalContent ---> page1.vm
2) --->link1--->method in action2 
-->action2.buildNormalContent--->action2.setTempate(page2.vm)-
-->page2.vm.

   


This is not possible in the default VelocityPortlet but it's very easy 
to implement.

For example:
Assumption: you can define a new non-conflicting parameter name
that will handle the state of your portlet, let's say "pstate".

1-  Update your portlet Regsitry definition to have:
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
   etc...

2- Apply the following patch to VelocityPortlet:

Index: VelocityPortlet.java
===
RCS file:
/home/cvs/jakarta-jetspeed/src/java/org/apache/jetspeed/portal/portlets/Velo
cityPortlet.java,v
retrieving revision 1.20
diff -r1.20 VelocityPortlet.java
159c159,170
< String template = getPortletConfig().getInitParameter("template");
---
 

   String state = data.getParameters().getString("pstate");
   
   String templateName = "template";
   String actionName = "action";
   
   if ((state != null) && (!state.equals("")))
   {
   templateName = templateName + "." + state;
   actionName = actionName + "." + state;
   }
   
   String template =
   

getPortletConfig().getInitParameter(templateName);
181c192
< String actionName = getPortletConfig().getInitParameter("action");
---
 

   String actionName =
   

getPortletConfig().getInitParameter(actionName);


Et voila, your portlet now gives you basic built-in controller capabilities
so that you don't even have to use "setTemplate" unless you want to 
redirect your user to a non-standard state template, plus you would have the

following flow control:

- page1.vm
- link1
- actionX.doEvent (depends on the "action" paramater included in the link)
- go to state 2
- action2.buildContext
- page2.vm

RE: portlet object in doUpdate()

[Pierre Henry]

I got them to work with GET, but it only works with Internet Explorer, It
doesn't work with Mozilla, the buildNormalContext action is called, not the
actions... (I tried MSIE 5 and 6 and Mozilla 1.2)
