RE: new jetspeed user

Jetspeed is more of a framework than a web-app. 
Concerning persitency - the war comes with a built in hypersonic db.

Subject: new jetspeed user


Hello all,
 
I just downloaded the jetspeed portal, installed and started playing.
All is going well.
 
A couple questions come to mind
 
1)   Is Jetspeed a portlet container? Granted not a reference
implementation but I'm curious as to the .war extension. Are containers
nothing more then war files  and thus a web app? I've read the spec
front to back and still are not sure about this one. If someone can
point to the section I'd be very much obliged.
2)   So I haven't tied Jetspeed into any backend database. I then
create a new user. I then create another new user with the same user
name and it chokes on me saying that this user already exists. 
  How is this user data persisted in the first place if I have no
data store to save it in? I'm curious about this one. Doing a little
search I noticed that data is saved into the jetspeed.script file. So
when jetspeed
  starts is this file read and a in-memory object created that
stores all the users? Is this assumption correct? Anyone?
 
 
 
Thanks for your help everyone.
 
Regards,
 
Amir

Hi Cevat,

  I am a new jetspeed user. I appreciate any help.
  does anyone has a document shows the  steps to
  create a portlet and add it to the portal clearly.
  and where should I put the class files.

Take a look at http://www.bluesunrise.com/jetspeed-docs/JetspeedTutorial.htm
for example.

No response from the list on this one yet. Probably what we need is some

Hi list,

Is there any way Jetspeed can support the JSP errorPage directive?
Or maybe JetSpeed / Turbine provide a replacement service for this?

Cascading menu with plenty of javascript  DHTML ?
I'm intesting to build one for my project but it is not plannified for 
this month :-)

Anyway, If you can work without the customizer in this case, it is not 
so complex to build your own, if you know javascript-DHTML, the PSML 
structure and the mechanism used for jetspeed controls  controllers. 
Obviously, customizer for this kind of menu will require more time. Do 
you have time ?

Let me know in which area you require more info, I can try to help

Getting a Portlet instance entry

2003-09-18 Thread Michael Rothrock
Ok, I'm trying to get an instance of a Portlet object so I can check
permissions like so:

JetspeedSecurity.checkPermission((JetspeedUser) data.getUser(), portlet,
view)

I'm doing this in left.jsp, so I need to generate the instance by name.
After much trial and error, I've discovered a method that works (querying
the profiles, iterating through trying to get portlets by name).

There really must be a better way, and I'm hoping that someone can make a
suggestion.

Here's what I'm doing now:

QueryLocator qLoc = new QueryLocator(QueryLocator.QUERY_ROLE);
qLoc.setRoleByName(user);
qLoc.setUser((JetspeedUser) data.getUser());
Portlet portlet = null;
Iterator i = Profiler.query(qLoc);
while (i.hasNext()) {
Profile profile = (Profile) i.next();
if (profile.getRootSet().getPortletByName(files) != null) {
String name =
profile.getRootSet().getPortletByName(files).getName();
if (name.equalsIgnoreCase(files)) {
portlet = profile.getRootSet().getPortletByName(files);
break;
}
}
}

Ugly, especially in JSP.

Any ideas?

I need to know the role of the logged in User in my JSP to do some

How to do it? I tried the following code but it returned Null.

AccessControlList acl = rundata.getACL();  // This returned NULL...

Please let me know how to get the role of the logged in user.

RE: Struts as a JSR-168 Portlet Framework

2003-09-18 Thread Mete Kural
Hi Tim,

Good to hear that you are pushing Struts as the portlet framework at your company. You 
may want to also get engaged in the struts-dev mailing list and send your feedback to 
them. Craig wrote that it would be nice if someone wrote the portlet version of the 
request processor extension for the new decomposed request processor that is being 
designed for Struts 2.0. The code can be found in /contrib/struts-chain in Struts CVS. 
So far there is only the servlet extension. If any of you could work on a portlet 
extension, that would be great. You can contact struts-dev about this.

Thanks,
Mete

Excellent!
I just spent the afternoon lobbying for Struts use at the portlet level...
I'm not sure I did very well.

In the end it came down to:

* Each advocate of methodologies will present our representative
use-case:Add Client Site developed in their respective methodology this
coming Monday (So for me that means using IBM portlet revision of
Struts1.1-b2 to develop this functionality for Mon.)

The main alternate contenter is using the MVC portlet. This implies coding
the if..else if..else if..else in the controller; however the point was made
that since the responsibilities of a portlet should not be as large as that
of a normal  struts application this is acceptible.

* Someone estimated a factor of 4 as the time required to develop in Struts
versus not developing with Struts. This is also the person in our group with
the most Struts experience, so I can't really argue against... except
perhaps to capture my time and present that as well on Monday.

* Others in the group expressed apprehension to the fact that we are using a
modified version of Struts. I mentioned based on a previous post on this
list, that the Struts community is behind supporting portlets as well as
servlets. Your posting here reaffirms this for us so .. thank you.

* I mentioned that although Struts adds complexity it provides; a) a
well-known framework for application development. b) Would ease certain
development and maintainence. c) Provide a proven framework for validation.
d) Allow new team members to get up to speed faster since the framework is
so well known.

* I added to the discussion ... that development time may not be a factor of
4 - if solid tools are used to generate certain elements; for example - the
struts-config.xml? Stubs for our Actions and Forms. Does anyone have any
favorite tools that may help here? I've seen EasyStruts on
eclipse-plugins.2y.net but have not used.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this topic.

[I realize this is perhaps off-topic for jetspeed-dev, so I am posting it on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with same for reply-to; e.g: Trying to move
sub-thread from dev to user?
If it doesn't work right please just reply to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks. Hope hear your thoughts.

  You are right, David, Struts 2.0 does not claim to be working at the

  Jetspeed. Struts 2.0 aims to be a framework for building portlet
  applications (JSR-168 compliant).
 
  Right now, Struts committers are re-designing the RequestProcessor to
  make it flexible for portlet environments as well as plain servlet
  environments. They need feedback from the portal community in order to
  make sure that the re-design is done in a way that effectively
  satisfies the needs of portlet environments. Please take a look at the
  code in the Struts CVS at contrib/struts-chain. I would recommend you
  to ask any questions to the Struts committers in the struts-dev
  mailing list.
 
 Sounds great!
 I will have a look at the code in contrib/struts-chain
