[flexcoders] Flex Portal Integration - Flex as a Portlet
I've been trying in vain over the last few weeks to get a simple Flex app deployed as a portlet in Jetspeed-2 (as a JSR-168 portlet). The resources I've found on the web so far have helped get me heading down the right track (both the articles on the Macromedia Dev site and a blog post by Cristophe Coenraets. However, I still cant get it to work, simply because I can't get the portlet to look outside of its own context. For example, I have jetspeed-2 running on Tomcat at http://myserver.com/jetspeed/ - this displays the jetspeed landing page. Flex is installed on the same Tomcat instance, at http://myserver.com/flex - however, when I create the portlet and try and point the .java to a view.jsp - it only allows files to be viewed/exectued within the portlet that are contained within that portlet context. This means that I can't put the mxml inside the portlet context because it is not within the Flex context (so it won't execute), and neither can I put the mxml outside in the flex context because my portlet can't access it. Does anybody have a very basic cookbook for getting flex functioning within portlets. I know *somebody* out there must have done it, I know I am just not seeing/missing something obvious. Any help, much appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Portal Integration - Flex as a Portlet
Do you need Flex to run in a separate context? If not, you can deploy the Flex classes etc. to the jetspeed context How exactly do I go about doing this - do I deploy the entire Flex war file in the jetspeed container? Or is there a sub-selection of appropriate flex libraries that will allow flex to function without having to deploy the entire flex app. What implications does this have for licensing if I am deploying two instances of Flex - one in one context and another in the jetspeed context? I guess my problem is stemming from a slightly incorrect installation of Flex then, correct? If so, what is the procedure for installing Flex in a portal environment? I am guessing I have to allow flex to run in the /jetspeed/flex context rather than the /flex context. Thanks for your help so far.
