Re: portlet object in doUpdate()
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?

When I put a hidden field for the action : INPUT TYPE=hidden name=action value=CustomizableXsqlPortlet1Action the right method was called but the portlet argument of the doUpdatefilter method was null, so the action class couldn't do much. So try to remove the action field... I hope it helps !

JSP vs Velocity
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?
Flow and State of a portlet
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 action1page2.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. The reason I am looking for such solution is that for a highly-interactive portlet, there are many links, actions and templates. Using one action class to handle this might not be feasible. I noticed that (Maybe I was wrong), Jetspeed lacks of flow control and state management inside a portlet. Any tips, solutions, workaround are highly appreciated. Thanks Wei
setTemp: where is it?
Where does JetSpeed store objects in setTemp()? Are they in the session? If not, how does JetSpeed manage these objects? Regards Wei
portlet object in doUpdate()
I have a doUpdate in an VelocityAction class: VelocityPortlet portlet = (VelocityPortlet) context.get(portlet); the portlet is null. Is this a bug? Wei
Tree Navigation design.
The site I design has some roles. One role is admin. I plan to have Admin type of pane for this role. Inside this pane, have a tree (either JavaScript or Java Applet) on the left, listing the administration tasks and on the right, a portlet to perform different administration tasks. How to design and implement? Any tips. Thanks.
How to control flow in portlet?
Here is the case: I have a portlet, the starting page is page1.vm, click a link in page2.vm, the portlet should show page2.vm: page1.vm ---action---page2.vm. How to achieve this? How to control flow in portlet? Thanks. Wei Guan
