[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Understanding architecture...

2006-11-26 Thread ric1607
Thomas,

Thank you for your answer, especially on a week-end! 
I hope I did not disturb your Saturday with my silly questions {:-)

One solution I was thinking of was indeed to include the whole portal page in 
an iframe. My use case being for instance to include a forum frame or a CMS 
frame within our existing app.

It sure looks odd (I confess), but it is according to my point of view a 
realistic use case: we have a complex existing webapp, with carefully crafted 
layout designed to use the top window with plenty of javascript everywhere -- 
and we cannot simply say ok, let's put all that in a rectangle on the screen 
and add something beside. 
So the solution would be to rewrite all the main layouts under portal templates 
and this is a too steep slope.

I'll try using the portal in an iframe and let you know about.

Thank you very much Thomas!

--Eric

[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Understanding architecture...

2006-11-25 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A portlet is not bound to a URL so iFrames is not a solution to your use case. 
You could eventually include the whole portal i guess but this sounds very odd 
to me.

Portals are all about aggregation and your use case seems to be about the 
opposite. (if you simply want to integrate portlets, then your webapp it 
basically a portal.

It is much more natural to modify your webapp to be 1 or several portlets, and 
integrate them in JBoss Portal. Hence the portletBridge project.

(That said JBoss portal is very modular and you could extract the portlet 
container to use it in your own 'portal')
