Re: Difference between Struts and Jetspeed
At 18:58 25/06/03 +0530, you wrote: Thanks for the reply. I wanted to know more inside information between Struts and Jetspeed. According to my understanding both of them have lots in common such as 1. Following the MVC principle, 2. Ability to write the UI in different technology, 3. Ability to use layouts, 4. Ability to use actions, etc., 1) OK, MVC is over rated :-) With Jetspeed you are not really writing one web app - you are writing dozens! Each portlet could be considered a mini web application. I'd say that you could implement each individual portlet with its own MVC sub-structure. Have a look at the Portlet API to understand more about that. 2) UI in different technology. H. See the portlet API. It is kind of Java specific, but so long as your servlet complies with the API you should be able to write your portlets in Velocity, or Struts, or whatever. 3) What layouts? Jetspeed comes with a few layouts of its own - and this is ok. Struts comes with no layouts that I know of. 4) Actions: well we are starting to get silly. We are comparing apples to oranges here. Not sure what you mean by an action in Jetspeed terms. Jetspeed uses Turbine - which performs a similar set of things that Struts does. Perhaps you are trying to compare Turbine and Struts? (Incidently - you don't have to write your portlets with Turbine even though Jetspeed was written using it). You can download Jetspeed and quite quickly get a working web application framework. You can;t do that with Struts - even with Ted Husted's cool Struts skeletons. Alex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RSS cache for other portals?
Jetspeed has within it a useful mechanism for fetching and caching RSS files. I've noticed that this might be useful for other applications such as a portal application written with Cocoon. (No don't laugh why aren't they using Jetspeed you cry). Anyway if we assume that people have need of rss files and don't want to implement their own caching mechanism is it possible to use Jetspeed to serve these RSS files which it caches? Presumably the official way is to have jetspeed running in the same JVM as your application and use the java API for retrieving rss files from the cache, but that isn't always possible. It would be easier if Jetspeed could serve the rss files in the cache Any suggestions? Alex Openweb Analysts Ltd, London.

Re: How to start
What I can use as a starting point to make my jetspeed portal ? The problem is the sample who comes with jetspeed has many features so I am felling lost. Just take one of the portlets most close to what you want and start to modify that one. Eg the Velocity portlet if you are a velocity programmer, the JSP portlet if you prefer JSPs. (There is one isn't there). You can ignore all the other portlet types you don't need. Alex Openweb Analysts Ltd, London.

Re: why do not the authors of Jetspeed write the detail document about Jetspeed?
Maybe it is because software engineers have such bad command of the English language?

RE: Error Occured - Configuring Jetspeed with JSP
At 13:14 24/06/02, John Trollinger wrote: JSP is very poorly supported in jetspeed... it seems like they are trying to make jetspeed an extension to velocity instead of making a portal server. I think it would be fairer to say that many of the Jetspeed developers don't like JSP and therefore don't develop portlets with it, and therefore JSP support has fallen behind Velocity.

Jetspeed Sites ?
Is there a list of live sites which use Jetspeed. There is the small list on the jetspeed website but that seems to be a bit out of date and quite small.
