Re: J2 Security Customization
Santiago, There are multiple solutions to this common requirement. The easiest is probably to implement your own SecurityValve. Just make sure you use the existing o/a/j/security.impl.SecurityValveImpl.java as a template. Then there is JAAS... Scott can probably comment in more detail.

Re: Left Navigation Menu
Note: this question is for J2... Hi, i want to change the left navigation menu. and add two groups of links (to pages in the portal) , i want all the users see the first groups and the second single group appears for the non registered user. hace a series of problems: 1- The list of links apears in alfabetical order. How i change it ? Most simple ordering issues can be resolved using document order tags in the folder.metadata files. See the J2 sample site for examples. 2- How can i made tha second group only for non registered users ? Profile these for user guest. Again see the J2 sample site... look for content in the _user/guest folders. 3 - Betewen this two groups i want to put a portlet. it is possible To actually insert a portlet in the navigation menu is not something that can be easily done AFAIK. I am guessing that if it is possible, it will require major customizations of the layout decorators, (see 4 below). Perhaps someone else here on the list has done such a thing? 4- Under all this i want to put an image. You can insert arbitrary constant HTML in the layout decorator Velocity templates. See the /WEB-INF/decorations/layout/html/tigris/*.vm files. Custom decorators can be deployed in a manner similar to portlet webapps. The schema is like this Home News(this is a link to a page in the portal) Restos(this is a link to a page in the portal) Proves(this is a link to a page in the portal) /* here i want to put a portlet, a pool porlet* */ pool portlet Register(all of this for non registeres user) Login(this is a link to a page in the portal new User(this is a link to a page in the portal Lost password (this is a link to a page in the portal benefits(this is a link to a page in the portal Profile(this is onlyfor registerd users) Personal Data Preferences /** here i want to put some image, as external links i thinks its posible to put this in the layout ??? **/ image link1 image link2 Thank you very mutch - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: deploying portal apps via Context xml file
Bob, I think you simply need to infuse your web app manually. Take a look at the edits to web.xml, (and other files and/or injections of new files into the webapp), that are made to your webapp when you deploy. Then, make sure that you perform these changes TEMPORARILY so that the web app get registered when Tomcat loads it. Of course, this is just a workaround and is subject to change with each J2 release. Ate may very well have a more definitive answer, but I do not think I am steering you wrong! Good luck, Randy Bob Skinner wrote: I'm using tomcat-jetspeed-M2 and trying to add some 168 portlets to my existing webapp. The webapp itself is rather large (80MB) and I tend to run tomcat by droping a foo.xml file in the tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost directory where foo.xml contains Context path=/foo docBase=c:/pathtomywebappbuilddir/foo Tomcat deploys my foo app correctly, but the JetspeedContainerServlet isn't looking for my portlet.xml file and deploying it as a Portal Application.

Re: J2M2 Profiling Rules
A few clarifications: 2) group.user.role profile one of user, role, or group, (user is almost always defined and normally is chosen). -- group or role are selected from request parameters by the same name, otherwise user is selected. 3) path.session appends the request path to the profiling path -- or in the case of the '/' path, as session attribute with the specifed name is used. 4) request.session appends the request path or request parameter path -- a request parameter or session attribute with the specified name is used if specified.

Re: J2M2 Profiling Rules
Frank, Understood. Should work. The Filter approach might be better since getting the HTTP Host request attribute, mapping it to a request parameter, and using 'request.session' is probably simple enough depending on what you have already implemented with your site. Depends if you are comfortable extending J2 or not! Randy Frank Villarreal wrote: Thanks Randy. On my own, I tweaked the RoleFallbackProfilingRule and got it to work in conjunction with a media-type. Regarding the host headers ... I think you're right ... it would be super cool if there were a profiling criterion that keyed off of the request's server name. This would allow for multiple-public subsites based on the requestor's incoming url. I guess I'll try to implement something along these lines and tie the rule specifically to the guest user. That would get my desired effect I believe.

Re: using MySQL with J2 - setup problem
Marina,
I know you probably have most of this down cold, but please verify:
- you have a copy of mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar in
TOMCAT_HOME/shared/lib.
- that the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver class exists in
mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar.
- if you are manually copying the jetspeed.war into webapps, make sure
that the jetspeed.xml is edited for your configuration and is copied to
the correct location: tomcat5=TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost or
tomcat4=TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.
- that admin/admin has access to your j2 and j2test databases.
- that your java implementation is being located correctly and is a
current 1.4.2 or 1.5 version... I have never seen those targetting 1.4
messages on Linux.

Re: J2 - Grouping Permissions with the JAAS implementation
Amit, There are two security implementations to choose between to control access to folders and pages in the J2 portal. Both solutions allow specification by group and role in addition to user principals. I am not sure exactly what you are using the 20-25 permissions to control, but I am guessing that your J2 needs are covered. For PSML based security, (aka bronco), poke around in the demo site files for security-constraint tags. There are also some docs on the site that David put together as well. For JAAS permissions style security, see the populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql script that configures similar access to the site content. To use JAAS, you will have to change the configuration of the CastorXMLPageManager component in page-manager.xml. One can also use BOTH mechanisms simultaneously if necessary. HTH, Randy With the security implementation of JAAS, I think in jetspeed there is a direct relation between user and permissions. Now in a scenerio that I have, I have a bunch of permissions that I group into a role, and then relate that to user. I think this facility is lacking in jetspeed. But I am not sure if this is the case, or I am missing something. This feature would be kind of essential because I have around 20 - 25 permissions and I have to change behaviours based on those permissions. The user_permission table of jetspeed would probably get really very big.

In the meantime, I was preparing for a presentation tomorrow so I wanted to see if I can layout a proof of concept with Jetspeed2. But I definately need help with the security implementation. If you want, I can pose my question again --- I have following security tables -- Sha, I will map the current J2 tables to your tables as best I can. These are only my initial thoughts. I haven't implemented this solution to mapping your current security data model to J2. In general I think you have two alternatives: 1) Map your current security data model to the J2 classes by altering the security_repository.xml file. Security_repository.xml contains the mapping between the J2 security classes and the underlying data model. The advantage of this approach is that you would not have to change any code. You would know you were successful when all the tests ran. Some tests may still fail. For example, you appear to have no many-to-many relationship between users and roles. You will have to sort through relationships you are missing. Maybe the tests will still run. Perhaps you can still use the J2 table mappings where you have no equivalent. 2) Implement the following interfaces: GroupSecurityHandler, RoleSecurityHandler, UserSecurityHandler, CredentialHandler, and SecurityMappingHandler. You will note that the default implementations of these classes use a class called SecurityAccessImpl to do a lot of the actual JDBC work. You may have to change SecurityAccessImpl as well. This alternative seems pretty hard, close to the work involved in making LDAP implementations which I expect to take about a month given that you are already familiar with the underlying technology. I have done a cursory mapping below: - user (username, password, userid etc.) security_principal - Contains the user. Your username field should be mapped to the full_path column. security_credential - Contains the password. Password is the only type of credential in use as far as I can tell. Your current implementation stores the password on the user table. My ldap implementation does the same. - groups (groupid, groupname) security_principal - Contains the group, just mapped to a different class. Your groupname field should be mapped to the full_path column. - role (roleid, rolename) security_principal - Contains the role, just mapped to a different class. Your rolename field should be mapped to the full_path column. - permission (permissionid, permissionname) security_permission - Contains the security permissions. Your permissionname should map directly to the name column there. - role_permission Here you have a direct mapping the J2 security_principal_permission table. J2 puts role, group, and user in a single security_principal table. - group_role Here you have a direct mapping to the security_group_role table. - user_group This table is analogous to the J2 security_user_group table which contains two FKs: one to the security_principal row for the user and the other to the
Re: Default Home Pages
Frank, There are many nice ways to accomplish this with J2 using the Profiler. Custom home pages per user, group, or role are easily supported. One can also select different home pages using different profiling rules. Once you get used to using the profiler, it is fairly powerful and flexible. In your scenario, I'd suggest placing the public home page in .../pages/_user/guest/default_page.psml. Depending on the profiling rule you wish to use, you can also place other home pages in .../pages/_role/*/default_page.psml and/or .../pages/_group/*/default_page.psml. There are plenty of examples of profiling in the J2 demo site... default page profiling is treated the same as any other page as far as the Profiler is concerned. There is a document in the profiler design-docs that discusses the J2 Profiler and Page Manager functionality. There have also been plenty of emails on the topic to this list. In the spirit of expanding this email collection, I'd be happy to help you select a profiling strategy that will meet your needs. Please provide more detail on how you'd like to segregate pages on your site by user, roles, and groups and we'll see how far the Profiler can take you!

Re: Default Home Pages
Frank: Your scenario is typical. Check out the subsite demo in the cvs HEAD: login as subsite/subsite and then as subsite2/subsite2. This is just to give you some food for thought... you will no doubt need some combination of different Profiler implementation approaches.

Now when a guest user logs in (and the role changes), I need the user to be routed to a sub-site (with its own distinct decorators/layouts/portlets) custom tailored to that user's role. For example, I have several basic user classes ... customer, marketing, sales, csr, administrator, etc. I'd like to have a distinct subsite for each of these roles. Each subsite should have a distinct look 'n feel ... so implementing these subsites as subfolder links off some root portal is not an option ... the subsite should be the new root folder once a user logs in. Of course its not that simple ... some users (owners), may have multiple roles (ie: sales marketing). In those cases, I'd like to map the user either to a subsite that provides a combo view of the role's portlets ... or provide some kind of default role based on the log in.

RE: J2 Velocity Error?
Frank,
This is an issue I have known about but i have not gotten around to fixing
yet. I just modify my custom portlet decorator like this:
#foreach ($action in $actions)
#set($actionImage = $action.Link)
#if($actionImage.startsWith(content/images/))
#set($actionImage =
content/myportletdecorator/images/${actionImage.substring(15)})
#end
#if($actionImage.endsWith(.gif))
#set($actionImageLength = $actionImage.length() - 4)
#set($actionImage = ${actionImage.substring(0,
$actionImageLength)}.jpg)
#end
td align=right valign=middle class=PTitlea
href=${action.Action} title=${action.Name}img
src=${actionImage} alt=${action.Alt} border=0/atd/
#end
I will bump this up my todo list,
Randy
Chris,
Thanks for taking a stab at my question, but I don't think that's the
problem. Layout.vm seems to control the (re)positioning of portlets
within
a page. Upon further inspection, it seems J2 uses a request filter to
remap
image requests to the current decorator theme folder. And like I said
previously, 99% of my custom images and stylesheet customizations are
showing up correctly ... it's just those pesky portlet window image uris
that continue to resolve to the jetspeed decorator folders. It appears
that in the velocity file (decorator.vm), there is a line of code that
reads
...
#set($actions = $jetspeed.DecoratorActions)
The actions are the options available for a specific window/portlet (edit,
view, max, min, etc). This action list is then iterated and rendered in
each portlet's title bar with the following snippet of velocity code ...
#foreach ($action in $actions)
td align=right valign=middle class=PTitle
a href=${action.Action} title=${action.Name} img
src=${action.Link}
alt=${action.Alt} border=0/a
td/
#end
The problem I am experiencing is that the tag ${action.Link} doesn't
appear
to be resolving to my custom theme. It renders as
content/images/minimized.gif ... which would appear to be correct, since
the portal should know that I'm using a custom theme and remap the
image
request to the correct folder using the filter ... because I told it to
use
my custom theme in the PSML for the page by adding the following entry ...
layout-decorator=mycustomtheme portlet-decorator=mycustomtheme
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be working. Gotta love Monday
mornings
... :-)

I think the piece you're missing is in

fully how the rendering process works, but this template appears to be
what aggregates the portlet fragments - if you look at the page source,
you can see by inspection that it generates the html between the layout

Re: J2: Absolute URL rendering
Scott, I think this can be addressed in the layout decorators/macros if you would like a quick workaround, (it invokes a method in the JetspeedPowerTool there to convert relative urls into absolute ones: you could use your own constants or macros there). Otherwise, I have added it to my todo list, Thanks, Randy Hello all, I have noticed that whatever renders navigation urls apparently writes fully-qualified urls instead of relative ones, apparently based on whatever the hostname is in the incoming request. Is this a configurable option? The reason I ask is that if not, this makes it difficult if not impossible to proxy behind say an apache httpd instance. In the past, I've been able to route virtual hostnames to specific webapps in tomcat (or any other container for that matter by this sort of httpd configuration: snip NameVirtualHost *:80 #... other virtual host configurations VirtualHost *:80 ServerName app1.mydomain.com RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my.tomcat.host:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://my.tomcat.host:8080/ /VirtualHost /snip This allows http://app1.mydomain.com to be routed to an internal tomcat host on a different port, and can even be used to mask the app1 context from the end user. Since app1 writes its urls using relative / prefixed paths, all is well. I have tried this with J2, and when I navigate to http://subdomain.myhost.com the left-nav links such as Public Links render not as /jetspeed/portal/Public but as http://my.tomcat.host:8080/jetspeed/portal/Public;. Depending on network configuration, this linke may or may not even resolve to the end user. Since httpd is not performing url rewriting, it would appear that J2 is writing protocol:host:port/context instead of relative paths. What can I do to change this behavior? It is my goal to at some point mask the fact that my portal is running in a /jetspeed context as well as to run tomcat behind an httpd front-end in the same manner as my many other webapps housed in tomcat.

In addition to the admin portlets, one can also define them directly in the database, (see the populate-*.sql files in the disribution).

RE: Adding portlets for user/group
Thilina, Can you clarify J2/J1 on your posts? In J2, the primary consumer of the user/role/group definitions are the Profiler and PageManager components. As you might of guessed, these select pages to be displayed in the portal given a request url. So, instead of granting access to individual portlets, you can use the profiling features and security permissions/constraints to control access to pages. AFAIK, security at the portlet level is not yet implemented in J2, but you can certainly achieve what you are looking for using the page based controls.

Re: jetspeed 2 on Weblogic 8.1 Sp4
Bharat,
You need to configure the
org.apache.jetspeed.tools.pamanager.servletcontainer.ApplicationServerManager
bean in jetspeed-spring.xml to use the WeblogicManager instead of the
TomcatManager class, (from the same package). The WeblogicManager class
takes no constructor arguments, (see the JBossManager entry in
jetspeed-spring.xml)
The autodeployment properties are ignored by WeblogicManager.

Re: jetspeed 2 on Weblogic 8.1 Sp4
Bharat,
I assume you are specifying 'weblogic/jdbc/wrapper/PoolConnection' in
build.properties or jetspeed.xml. If so, you certainly need to make the
driver class available to the Jetspeed webapp. With Tomcat, this is
typically done by copying the appropriate jar containing the driver
class to tomcat home/shared/lib. I assume there must be a similar
procedure that one can follow for Weblogic, no?

Re: How to create a custom profiling rule?
Marina,
*.link files are only displayed if addressable in the / request
directory as rootLinks, or as elements of a document set. This explains
why they are not visible if located in the /dce-portal directory.
Security limitations apply to link visibility, so perhaps that might
explain why you do not see them when placed in the / directory?
We still need to discuss use of the /dce-portal directory with your
custom profiling rule, but I do not think it is messing up the display
of rootLinks... of course, I might be missing something that should be
obvious.

Ok, after I've done all these changes, I found a new
problem as well:
no links (*.link files) are displayed on either of the
pages, for neither of the users.
I tried placing them in the / and /dce-portal
directory, but still nothing is displayed.
Is this a problem with my new profiling rule?
What determines whether links are displayed or not?
Thanks!

--- Marina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Randy,
thanks for your help. You are probably right and I
made it more complicated than what it should be.
Basically, what I would like to have in my portal
is:
1. all application-specific portal pages/ docsets/
links should be in a separate directory, say,
.../pages/dce-portal/
2. users ('dce-user', 'dce-admin') with the
'dce-user-role' should be able to see one main page,
dce-main-page.psml, and one additional page as a
tab,
dce-users-page.psml. Both .psml pages are in the
.../pages/dce-portal/ directory
3. a generic (non-logged in, 'guest') user should
see
the ../pages/dce-portal/dce-main-page.psml, and
nothing else
So, to accomplish this, I have created this custom
profiling rule:
insert into PROFILING_RULE values ('dce-generic',
'org.apache.jetspeed.profiler.rules.impl.StandardProfilingRule',
'rule for non-logged in DCE portal users')
insert into RULE_CRITERION values ('100',
'dce-generic', 0, 'path', 'path', '/dce-portal', 0)
and assigned it to the 'guest', 'dce-user' and
'dce-admin' users.
This made all pages visible to these three users. To
restrict access to the user-specific page to the
users
with the 'dce-user-role' role, I've added the
following security constraints to the
dce-users-page.psml:
security-constraint
rolesdce-user-role/roles
permissionsview/permissions
/security-constraint
Well, that did work. With the exception of those
problems I mentioned in my previous post (one of
them
was fixed by using #if($site.rootLinks.isEmpty()) as
David suggested)
So, the only problem that is still left is inclusion
of the .ds sets from the '/' directory. I would
rather
like to use the ../pages/dce-portal/ as the root
directory, but my profiling rule does not seem to
accomplish this.
I hope I'm being clear :)
And thanks a lot for looking into this!

Using the Profiler effectively is more in my
court,
so let's see if I can
help here.
I think there are three subjects here that need
individual attention:
1. you probably do not need to define a new
profiling rule... there are some
predefined rules that you can use to achieve
role-based profiling,
2. the demo site is just that and you should start
with a clean
WEB-INF/pages directory only adding in what you
need
from the demo site, and
3. the tigris sample decorator is a good starting
place, but most everyone
ends up customizing and deploying their own
flavor.
So, rather than trying to figure out what you have
now, I would like to know
what your objective is. I'll then tell you how I'd
solve it using the M1
release version. We can then compare notes and
take
it from there... ok?

Thanks for the clarification. I did find a way to

to specific PSML pages by roles.
I still have a few problems I was not able to

far. The main one is that I still get some
elements

even
though I explicitly specified in my profiling rule
that only elements from a specific directory

Here is how I setup my portal's content and
created
a
new profiling rule using direct SQL (I don't think
it

yet):
1. create new directory for my Portal content:
pages/dce-portal
place into this directory:

RE: j2 initializing error
Krish, As far as the manager app port goes that can be configured to use your port, (2925), instead of 8080. See the release notes or getting started pages on the web site if you pulled from CVS. It is our experience that J2 will operate successfully with the PAM errors, but you may have to restart it once after it has initially deployed all of the portlet webapps. The issue with the JVM and prefs had much to do with the class loader. This is why everyone keeps telling you to check your JVM version. I would triple check that Tomcat is indeed launching the version of the JVM you expect. I am guessing that you are on a flavor of unix, so please use ps to verify the JVM being executed. I do not have a copy of commons-collections in shared/lib, (instead I have one in commons/lib and J2 has its own 3.0 copy in its own webapp). If you do have a 2.1 version in shared/lib, you might want to consider starting with a clean Tomcat instance and seeing if that helps. Finally, check webapps/jetspeed/logs/jetspeed.log for other messages that may shed some light on this. Tomcat 5.0.28 should work fine. IIRC, only 5.0.27 and some number of prior 5.0.X versions had issues with JAAS. Sorry I do not have any more concrete suggestions for you at this point.

RE: How to create a custom profiling rule?
Marina, David is the Profiler Master, so he is much more qualified to explain its configuration and inner workings. The source is in components/profiler. See comments below... It seems that profiling rules are assigned to the users based on the user names. Yes. At least this is what I see in the PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC table - I created a new user, 'dce_admin', and assigned a 'security' profiling rule to it, and the (dce_admin, page, security) values got inserted into the PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC table. Just FYI, the locator/rule name security has special meaning in J2... you might want to pick another name for your custom rule to avoid confusion. The security locator/rule is used when a user has an expired password and must select a new one. See details in the archives of the dev list. Now my question: how could I assign a profiling rule to a rolename, not a username? For example, I might want all users with the 'dce_admin_role' role to use the 'security' rule. We have discussed this, but it is not been implemented yet. There is a global default mechanism in place: if you specify a PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC entry with a username of '*, it will be used for all users. This feature may not be implemented in this way in the future, but there certainly will be some other way to do the same thing. Randy
Re: errors when loging as 'jetspeed' user
Marina, I use MySQL and MSSQL, so I am not familiar with the intricacies of using the HSQL implementation. If you pulled from CVS without specifying the M1 tag, 'JETSPEED-RELEASE-2-0-M1', you also picked up a few bug fixes, so these could have helped out the situation as well. Of course, sticking the appropriate with M1 release or CVS maven procedure is always advisable :-) Randy Marina wrote: Randy, you were absolutely right - the problems I had were due to some DB inconsistency, I think. I have reinstalled Tomcat and checked out latest version of J2M1 from CVS and I had no problem logging in or changing passwords as any of the users. I was trying to understand what exactly went wrong, though, as I did not feel comfortable loosing my working J2 installation. I looked more into what I've done and I think I found the most likely reason for the problem. In brief, I was mixing DB initialization/startup procedures from the binary and CVS installs - I was running 'maven start.production.server' with the binary install and start_database.bat after I reinstalled J2 from CVS... Also, incorrect users were being used as the 'org.apache.jetspeed.services.autodeployment.user' - admin' for CVS install, instead of 'j2deployer' (since I was using 'leftovers' in the build.properties file after the binary install) Basically, my guess is, that if you built J2 from a binary distribution, you should always start your Db with the start_database.bat script before starting Tomcat. And if you updated J2 from CVS, you should run 'maven quickStart' once at the build time, and then start the DB with the 'maven start.production.server' all subsequent times you start J2. I may be completely off here... Thanks for your help!

RE: J2 Profiler
Marina/Doug: While I was out walking the dog this morning, I realized that I should probably clarify the difference between the manager/manager and admin/admin logins. As you might of guessed, the admin/admin login has the admin role. It is granted global view/edit permissions in the pages.security file... so it can view everything on the site the profiler allows it to see regardless of security constraints. In contrast, the manage/manager login relies on and is subject to the page and folder security constraints in the demo configuration. So, the visibility of the /Adminstrative pages is granted to admin/admin by the global constraint and manager/manager by the local constraints in /Administative/folder.metadata. Niether admin/admin nor manager/manager have any profiling locators or rules specified. As a result, they use the 'j1' rule and have no customized content in /_user/admin or /_user/manager. You both probably already figured this out, but I thought I'd share just in case!

In the future, it would be nice to dynamically show/hide portlets on a page based on a user's role. It is definitely under consideration... odds are it will be there in M2 if I had to guess, but others need to weigh in. As I dig in further, can you point me in the right direction for learning more about how the profiler works? Should I just follow the Jetspeed2 source code? If so, can you point me at a Java class to start with? First, look and understand the examples shipped with J2. Try logging in as user/user and jetspeed/jetspeed. Compare what you see with the various content pages and other elements in the pages directories. For more detail, check out this document: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-jetspeed-2/design-docs/src/profiler/J2-page-manager-profiling.sxw This is an OpenOffice document. I can email you another format if you'd like. The source code for all of this resides in /components/profiler and /components/page-manager, but it is not trivial. Feel free to ask questions here so that others can read about the profiler and how to configure it! Also as I browse through the WEB-INF/pages directory structure, there seems to be psml files that aren't displayed (e.g. pages/_user/user/p003.psml and pages/_user/user/nested-layout.psml). These are simply user files for 'user', (instead of 'guest')! Login as user/user. I'd like to learn more about how this works. Is the psml documentation for Jetspeed 1 applicable? Personally, I'd prefer if you stick with J2 resources and asking questions here. We can also contribute to the wiki as we go, (if nothing else we can link back to user list threads). If not can you recommend a better starting point (part of the source code is fine) for some self-study on overall navigation and layout? The easiest thing is to look at the examples. For a better understanding of navigations/layout, look at the Velocity, (*.vm), templates in the WEB-INF/decorations/layout/html/tigris and WEB-INF/decorations/portlet/html/tigris directories. Most of all, don't be shy on this list! Thanks very much, Doug No problem... good luck with J2! Randy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This name defaults to 'docset' and falls back to 'page' if not specified. Profile locator names are used to specify profiling rules for individual user principals. Pages and other documents are always profiled using the rule assigned to the 'page' locator name for the current user. If a user does not have a rule assigned for 'page', the default 'j1' profiling rule is used. So, for the user/user login, 'page' is set to 'j1' and 'docset' is set to 'role-group'. This means that the profiling search paths I outlined above for 'guest' are used to locate pages. However,

Doug, Portlet level security constraints are apparently the responsibility of the portlet writer to implement, so the portal and portlet container will always display the portlet. We just received clarification on this from the pluto mail list: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listId=261msgNo=2160 So, one way to achieve what you are after is to use the profiler. When the user is not logged in, they are known as 'guest'. By default, users are profiled using the 'j1' rule. This all boils down to the fact that unauthenticated users can be directed to pages placed in the .../WEB-INF/pages/_user/guest directory. Place your stripped down version of your pages in this 'guest' directory, (without your role security), and then secure all the rest of the pages in your site by role.

After checking out some example portlets , like RoleSecurityTest and Login, and their source code, I think I have some idea of how to approach the task but I would like to clarify some topics. First, I'll list my assumptions and then ask questions: 1. tomcat-5.0.30-j2-M1\webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\pages\page.security file specifies 'Edit'/'View' permissions for the default Portal's page, defined in default-page.psml The /page.security file defines named security constraints that can be referenced here or in individual page, folder meta data, link, or document set documents. The scope of this file is global across the entire site. References take the form of global-security-constraints-ref/, (which appear only in /page.security), or security-constraints-ref/. Thus, this part : security-constraints-def name=admin security-constraint rolesadmin/roles permissionsview, edit/permissions /security-constraint /security-constraints-def means that only a user with the role 'admin' can edit the layout of the page. Yes, since this fragment is referenced in a global-security-constraints-ref/, it applies to all documents in the site. And this fragment: security-constraints-def name=manager security-constraint rolesmanager/roles permissionsview/permissions /security-constraint /security-constraints-def means that a user with the role 'manager' can view the page. Yes, where used with a security-constraints-ref/. However, anybody can view this default page in reality - even before a user logs in. You don't need any special privileges to access http://localhost:8080/jetspeed to see the page. My assumption is that it is because security constraints are overwritten in the pages/folder.metadata file (see below). Is that true? Not exactly. The override is in the default

We just received clarification on this from the pluto mail list: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listId=261msgNo=2160 One small correction: only the portlet container should not enforce security constraints according to the portlet specification. The portal can, as Randy showed in the example below. Another solution would be to use security constraints on a page, restricting (certain type of) access to only certain users, roles or groups. Just to be clear, I think Doug is trying to control access by role at the page level but wants finer grain control over portlet in the page. This is not available now, so I was proposing he try controlling acess to two different pages with appropriate portlet subsets via the profiler. Furthermore, this should not only be possible on page level but even on (psml) fragment level, but that isn't yet implemented I think (Randy?). This is not implemented in M1. If (when) it is, you can simply restrict certain parts of a page to certain users, groups and/or roles. Well, David and I discussed this just before M1 was released. I actually had it implemented on the fragment level, but we figured that the portlet security constraints would be sufficient/conflicting, so we removed it. However, we did not have the Pluto ruling then. So, we'll have to revist this for M2. I'll add it to my to-do list. So, one way to achieve what you are after is to use the profiler. When the user is not logged in, they are known as 'guest'. By default, users are profiled using the 'j1' rule. This all boils down to the fact that unauthenticated users can be directed to pages placed in the .../WEB-INF/pages/_user/guest directory. Place your stripped down version of your pages in this 'guest' directory, (without your role security), and then secure all the rest of the pages in your site by role.

Hi all,
Here i want to deploy jetspeed-2 but it gives me some problem.
for that i m using
OS :: Linux Fedora-1
JVM :: jdk-1.5
JBOSS:: jboss-4.0
so for jdk1.5 i modify some java file b'coz it contains variable name
enum which is keyword in jdk1.5
so change enum to enum1..
i tried to deploy it in jboss-4.0 when i run the home page of jetspeed
then nothing is appear. and when i check the logs of jetspeed then in

RE: Jetspeed2 M1 security setup (was: jetspeed-newbie Roles-Group s-Users)
Marina, Thanks for using the jetspeed user list! Comments below. Randy -Original Message- From: Marina To: 'Jetspeed Users List ' Sent: 12/6/04 5:06 PM Subject: RE: Jetspeed2 M1 security setup (was: jetspeed-newbie Roles-Groups-Users) Hi, I've successfully built and installed J2 M1 and was looking into the demo applications to figure out how to setup access control for portlets/pages. After checking out some example portlets , like RoleSecurityTest and Login, and their source code, I think I have some idea of how to approach the task but I would like to clarify some topics. First, I'll list my assumptions and then ask questions: 1. tomcat-5.0.30-j2-M1\webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\pages\page.security file specifies 'Edit'/'View' permissions for the default Portal's page, defined in default-page.psml The /page.security file defines named security constraints that can be referenced here or in individual page, folder meta data, link, or document set documents. The scope of this file is global across the entire site. References take the form of global-security-constraints-ref/, (which appear only in /page.security), or security-constraints-ref/. Thus, this part : security-constraints-def name=admin security-constraint rolesadmin/roles permissionsview, edit/permissions /security-constraint /security-constraints-def means that only a user with the role 'admin' can edit the layout of the page. Yes, since this fragment is referenced in a global-security-constraints-ref/, it applies to all documents in the site. And this fragment: security-constraints-def name=manager security-constraint rolesmanager/roles permissionsview/permissions /security-constraint /security-constraints-def means that a user with the role 'manager' can view the page. Yes, where used with a security-constraints-ref/. However, anybody can view this default page in reality - even before a user logs in. You don't need any special privileges to access http://localhost:8080/jetspeed to see the page. My assumption is that it is because security constraints are overwritten in the pages/folder.metadata file (see below). Is that true? Not exactly. The override is in the default-page.psml itself, (user=*, permission=view). What is the scope of the page.security definitions and where are they used? See above. 2. each folder under /pages directory (including /pages itself) has a folder.metadata file where more security-constraints are defined for that folder. For example, here is pages/folder.metadata: . security-constraints security-constraint rolesuser/roles permissionsview/permissions /security-constraint security-constraints-refmanager/security-constraints-ref /security-constraints This should be commented out in M1. security-constraints security-constraint users*/users permissionsview/permissions /security-constraint /security-constraints /folder And this is why all users can see the default page. (Is that true?) It would be the case if default-page.psml did not override on its own. To be exact, this allows all users to view the folder and any content within it that does not specify its own security constraints. In effect, this is the site default for global pages because it is defined at the root leve. On the other hand, here is pages\Administrative\folder.metadata : folder titleJetspeed Administrative Portlets/title !-- allow only manager role -- security-constraints security-constraints-refmanager/security-constraints-ref /security-constraints /folder This folder corresponds to the Jetspeed Administrative Portlets menu item in the 'Folder and Pages' menu on the left side of the Portal window. However, it is displayed only when a user with the 'manager' role logged in. Correct. It also requires that its contents only be visible in the manager role as well. 3. There also are security-constraints in the .psml files themselves. For example, pages/default-page.psml has: security-constraints security-constraint users*/users permissionsview/permissions /security-constraint /security-constraints Yes, and it is this that enables any user to view the default page, no matter what the folder that the page belongs to is permitted. 4. Also, there are security-ref defined in the portlet.xml files of individual portlets. For example: portlet id=RoleSecurityTest . security-role-ref role-nameAdministrator/role-name role-linkadmin/role-link /security-role-ref security-role-ref role-nameManager/role-name role-linkmanager/role-link /security-role-ref security-role-ref role-nameUser/role-name role-linkuser/role-link /security-role-ref /portlet and corresponding security-roles are defined in the web.xml file of the portlet application: web-app security-role descriptionThe admin role/description

RE: jetspeed-newbie Roles-Groups-Users
Marina, Yes, many on the dev team have J2 in production or in prototypes. Comments below. What I meant was: I see there is some relationship between directory names under the WEB-INF/pages directory and user like: WEB-INF/pages/_role manager/ user/ WEB-INF/pages/_user user/ So, for me to create a new user, should I use the same naming convention? For example, to add a new user scott with the role admin should I create corresponding directories WEB-INF/pages/_role/admin WEB-INF/pages/_user/scott In general, yes. However, the directories that are used are determined by the profiling rules. Here, the _user directory is aggregated by the j1 rule and the _role directory is aggregated by the role-fallback or role-group rules. You have the right idea though. By the way, where is the login takes place? I tried login through the Login portlet - but it did not change content of the portal window accordingly (I logged in as 'user') To login as scott, you must add logins, passwords, profiling rules for the Jetspeed user principal. There are admin portlets to do some of this, (login as admin/admin). Many of us simply extend the populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql script to add new users. Look at the definitions in there for principals, security, and profiling rules. Another question: How do you add new users programmatically? Do I have to create those new directories every time I add a new user? What if I want users to be able to register themselves, how would all this directory/files setup work? Or do I have to write my own code to insert new users into the DB (by the way, I'm assuming that's what the populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql does, is it?) ? Like I said, there are admin portlets to do some of the work. There are plans in the immediate future to make these portlets more powerful that will fill in the gaps betwwen the existing capabilites and editing opulate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql. So, all you will need to do is allow the guest user access to pages that contain these portlets or to the existing admin pages. You should not have to write any code unless you are interfacing to another system and need external authentication/authorization/single-signon. Sorry, I do feel somewhat confused here. Did anybody succeed in setting up the user management in J2? It's hard to believe I'm the first one struggling with this :) Well, you are probably one of the first non-dev-team people to attempt it! Not to worry, it is complex but does work... :). Keep the questions coming: it gives us all a chance to spread the word and see where we need to improve! Thanks for hanging in there! Randy

RE: jetspeed 2 successfully deployed but (please read this)
Nafise, I have seen this from time to time. Unfortunately, I have not figured out what causes it. I suspect that it occurs because of permissions problems, (I run on Linux), or due to some problem with repeated allBuild invocations with out an allClean. Of course, it is just as likely that it has nothing to do with either! I have had success with doing the following to get things running again: - stop tomcat. - remove J2 jars from shared/lib. - remove all J2 webapps, (including portletapps), ant their context xml from webapps. - repeat full maven build sequence: allClean, allBuild, quickStart. - redeploy your portletapps, pages, decorators, templates, etc. - restart tomcat. Heavy handed, but it has worked for me when all else fails. If this still does not correct the problem, make sure that your layout decorators are named correctly in your pages. As usual, check jetspeed.log. Good Luck!

Specifically, the error (along with 25 other errors of a similar nature) is listed below. Is this from a current CVS HEAD pull? If so, please send me your complete build output and the command you used to execute it. I am not sure, but it looks like your maven repository is not current somehow. Make sure you are not building with the -o maven options and that your maven.home.local build property is set correctly. When I first downloaded the project I was poking around and trying to resolve things, but I'm only passingly (well, increasingly) familiar with maven, and I didn't really want to get into it. Elisabeth's question highlights something else though, which is that, at least when I started trying to use the project, the text on the portals site is misleading: as far as I can tell, there is no binary release to download. There is not a binary version because it has never been released. Hopefully, it will be late this month. That effectively limits the users of the portal to those who can use cvs, and while the vast majority of us subscribe to a certain development orthodoxy that includes it, I'm sure there are lots of beginners out there that are finding the learning curve on their first project pretty steep. I'm not saying it's good or bad, just that I'm sure the frustration I felt the first time I tried to get the project has probably been multiplied thousands of times over and could be corrected with a small textual change. When people go to the parent portals project it states that binaries can be found under /portals. The only binaries to be found there are for pluto. If someone browses into /jakarta they can find jetspeed1, but AFAIK v2 isn't anywhere. I just think that some text somewhere on the jetspeed2 site that tells people that the only place to get it is from CVS would eliminate a lot of headaches. I am not a committer yet, but perhaps we can get the text changed. Better yet, we get a release out there so there are actual binaries! If there is a tag that I should be using that is a known stable branch, I'd love to know about it.. the branch that was recommended to me was pre_portalurl_refactor_20041015, but that one doesn't build for me either (I don't have the errors handy). It builds and runs for many of us, so I am not sure a tag is going to fix the problem. The most current tag is: pre_declarative_tx_20041028. I think we need to fix your build issue!

FW: Jetspeed 2 and maven jetspeed plugin
Ludovic, Search the archives for a discussion about the J2 plugin. In general, the J2 approach is different. Unless you need to extend J2 itself, you should be able to simply deploy JSR-168 portlet webapps directly into the J2 install. See the Wiki. PSML, decorator, and template deployers are not in place yet. For these, we simply copy directories up into webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/pages, webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/decorators, and webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/templates, respectively. Occationally, a web container restart is required, but most of the time J2 picks up the changes automatically!

RE: Some observations on jetspeed-2 (cont)
wh, I have been working with J2 for about a month or so and have had minimal problems, especially considering the current alpha state of the release. The dev team is pressing hard for a release this fall and there is plenty going on! I think I can help with some of your isses: 1) to minimize the install, you can remove the unnecessary war files from the deploy directory before starting tomcat after the first install. 'quickStart' can also be tuned and there are other goals that one could probably employ... but I am not a maven expert yet! The multiple portlet-app install is by design. The goal is to be able to install jetspeed and your configuration separately. BTW, removing items out of the deploy directory was intended to uninstall them, but that is not working under all circumstances yet! 2) I canont duplicate this error. What URL are you using to lauch and where does this appear? 34) I do see these messages... they may be related to recent changes in the decorator and layout templates or fragment rendering. No doubt this will get fixed. I will look into this today if I get a chance and forward what I find to the dev team. 5) Profiling has just recently been enabled and the test configuration pages have not been changes to reflect this. You should expect this to be addressed as the profiling subsytem is brought up to speed. If you long in as user/user, you will see some profiling taking place. The jetspeed/jetspeed user is not customized at this point. 6) There should be a logout link in the login portlet after you have logged in. This worked for me. Finally, I think that you would be better served by the team if you posted this kind of thing to the dev list. J2 is in alpha state and things are going to break as other things are added and fixed. I suspect that you know that!

Hopefully these comments will be of use to the developers in understanding from a user perspective some of the issues of the current development state of jetspeed-2. 1)Compared to jetspeed-1, the jetspeed-2 installation makes quite a mess of your application server, and pretty much renders it unusable for anything else you were planning to host in it. While jetspeed-1 had a lovely simple war file to drop in/out, jetspeed-2 installs roughly 10 seperate servlets, none of which can be uninstalled by any targets I found in the maven build file. I always understood portlets were supposed to be run hosted in a Portlet server, so I don't really understand the need to publish all these servlets - they should be Portlets, and thus not visible from the application server perspective.

Jetspeed2 PageAggregatorImpl Configuration
Scott/All, I have successfully added new portlet and layout html decoration directories to jetspeed and so far so good. However, the content for the portlet action icons, (maximize, minimize, etc...), keeps being served from the jetspeed decoration images directories. I enabled debug output for the content-server and verified that it is indeed serving the jetspeed content. With a little digging, it appears that these defaults are comming from the jetspeed-spring.xml configuration for the PageAggregatorImpl. Unfortunately, I am not sure what should be modified and where. As you know, the decorator.vm template uses the current action list urls to generate the html fragments. These look like /content/images/*.gif. Apparently, the PageAggregatorImpl looks only here for the images: layout/html/my layout decoration name portlet/html/jetspeed portlet/html layout/html generic/html html Consequently, it ends up finding the images in the jetspeed decoration directory instead of in portal/html/my portlet decoration name where I would expect it to be looking! It appears that the same thing is happening in the sample default-page.psml HW_App::PreferencePortlet that attempts to use the metal portlet decorations... the action icons are actually the ones from the jetspeed decorations. It appears to me that there is only one workaround: add the new portlet decorations to the jetspeed-spring.xml. Am I on the right track here? BTW, I am working with CVS HEAD as of 8/21 AM. Please let me know if there is a fix, a better workaround, or if I can help fix this in any way. Randy Watler
Jetspeed2 DeployDecoratorEventListener Groovy/Spring Configuratio n
I am attempting to deploy layout and portlet decorators, but they do not appear to be detected in the deploy directory. I have noticed that the DeployPortletAppEventListener is configured in both the jetspeed.groovy and jetspeed-spring.xml files, but DeployDecoratorEventListener is not. Assuming that this is the problem, should I go ahead and add it, (does anyone have samples handy)? Out of curiosity, it appears that the spring bean configuration and groovy script appear to be doing much the same thing with these objects... is that intentional? Thanks, Randy Watler
Jetspeed2 Tab/Menu/IFrame Layout
It would appear that these have not yet been released/developed. Is this true? Are there any jetspeed2 commiters interested specifically in layout development? I have a fairly strong requirement to deliver with a Tab Layout capability, so I have looked into what would need to be done assuming that it is not simply eluding me. Here are a few questions: - I noticed while copying/building the jetspeed2 decoration deployable customization example that there were tab graphic assets defined in the images directory. Are these located correctly within a layout decoration and can I expect these to be available when used from within a layout template? I also noted that the customizer graphic assets for the MultiColumnPortlets seem to be globally specified external to a deployed decoration... I assume these are defaults and are indended to be overriden? - The velocity templates for the MultiColumnPortlet/LayoutPortlet are defined in the template directory. Are these expected to be deployable eventually? I was wondering because I was tempted to try to turn off the customize feature... - IFrames are also a requirement. Is it safe to assume that IFrame support would be best implemented as a separate layout portlet that could be nested in any layout portlet? Thanks, any general hints/comments would be appreciated! Randy Watler
RE: Jetspeed2 Tab/Menu/IFrame Layout
Scott, Thanks for the input! Comments below... I will need to move the tab* assets into decorations/layout/html/jetspeed/images for this to work correctly. OK, cool. I'll look/poke at the navigation stuff. I think the tab assets are already in place in the jetspeed portlet decorations directory! - The velocity templates for the MultiColumnPortlet/LayoutPortlet are defined in the template directory. Are these expected to be deployable eventually? I was wondering because I was tempted to try to turn off the customize feature... Yes they are. My current project has completely customized layout and portlet decorations. Can these be deployed now? How does it find the 'columns' vs. 'maximized' *.vm templates for various layout portlets? - IFrames are also a requirement. Is it safe to assume that IFrame support would be best implemented as a separate layout portlet that could be nested in any layout portlet? In what capacity do you need IFrames. I just finished implementing support for .link files that simply contain metadata describing an outside link and are stored right along side .psml files. I'm assure we could eventually build in the ability to open those links in IFrames also. I am not sure what the .link files are meant to tell jetspeed... but here is what we are after: somehow render individual portlet contents through jetspeed, (as maximized?), in response to client requests from an embedded IFrame. Ideally, the IFrame encapsulation that provides the isolated update would be invisible to the portlet. The reason this is significant in our situation is 4+ portlets displayed on a page may be costly to render when processing only the single portlet the user is working with is necessary. It has occured to me that jetspeed may be using a caching technique to optimize this kind of partial refresh. In any case, we just want to render the focused portlet. Do we need IFrames for this with jetspeed? Randy Watler
Jetspeed2 anon login trap?
I have recently pulled Jetspeed2 from CVS HEAD to pick up some of the latest changes. I built it from scratch and installed it normally using MySQL. Afterward, launching the portal default page results in the anon user being logged in. I am unable to logout using the security portlet, (anon remains logged in), or login as a different user using login.jsp, (it results in a Tomcat redirection error; I assume it is not intended to be invoked directly). Anyway, being locked into anon seems odd, but I may not be understanding something that needs to be configured! I am trying to add a login capability to the layout decorations instead of using the security portlet. This seems simple enough, but the above problem has derailed me at the moment. Thoughts?

Weaver To: Jetspeed Users List Sent: 8/12/04 7:35 AM Subject: Re: JetSpeed2 Development Logistics Hi Randy, Actually, the Jetspeed 2 maven plugin actually does have somewhat of a merging capability. Just create a new directory structure similar to that under /portal in your project: This is all you really need to get started: src/java src/webapp src/webapp/WEB-INF Create a maven project.xml in the root of you project. Now you can start adding/overriding files. When you are ready to build call maven jetspeed2:build.portal this will build a full jetspeed war file with all of your new/overridden files in place on top of jetspeed. Next you can call maven jetspeed2:deploy.portal which is very similar to maven quickStart except it does not create the db for you. If you need to initialize the db you can call maven jetspeed2:db.create. Notes on your project.xml build file. You do not necessarily need to add the Jetspeed 2 jar dependencies to your project.xml the maven plugin will merge the correct jars at build time. However, if you start extending or creating your own components you will then have to add the relevant jetspeed jars to your project.xml so your classes compile correctly.

You are right, you should not edit the portal or components directories unless you are planning on submitting a patch However if you develop your own component, such as the Portal's NavigationState Component or Aggregator Component for example, then you can extend the existing Jetspeed component if necessary, and develop your own component and assemble it in the jetspeed-spring.xml You can also assemble pipelines of request execution in the pipelines.xml, also based on Spring components How would Jetspeed2 find my custom component classes/jars, (i.e. where should these be installed)? I generally understand the configuration being done in jetspeed-spring.xml and pipelines.xml. Would I edit these configuration files in the deployed jetspeed/WEB-INF/assembly directly? To create your own portal layout on a page, you will still need to manually edit the PSML until our customizer is ready We have made some progress in the customizer recently, but its still not quite there Right. Editing PSML is certainly not a big deal. I suppose adding and deleting pages falls into the same category. However, I am still hesitant to modify the deployed jetspeed webapp... is that the intended development strategy?

Re: JetSpeed2 Development Logistics
Scott/David, Thanks for the clarification. I was describing how to develop portlet applications and resources, and pointing out that J2 separates portal from portlet application, something J1 did not. Right. Even from what little I know now, decoupling Portal and Portlet development/deployment seems like a very nice feature in J2. The goal is to develop resources separate from the portal, and to deploy and undeploy them separately. From what I understand, what Scott is describing is how to setup an environment for developing components to use inside of J2. This can be used by more advanced users to create a customized portal Ok... the line between Portal and Portlet development is still a little blurry for me, (no doubt due to my limited understanding at this point). So, editing things like SimpleLayoutHeader.jsp or adding a customized component would seem to require a portal image/merge. Is the intention that PSML resources be deployable in the future, (or are they now)? The reason I ask is that it seems that the PSML defines the decorations/layouts used within the Portal, (i.e. the layout-decorator, portlet-decorator, and decorator attributes in defaults/fragment tags). It seems that one would want to deploy portlets and decorations/layouts and then deploy a PSML update to use them, no? At the risk of partly answering my own question, I have to assume that the Customizer would eventually allow all of the PSML to be managed. If that is true then, would PSML generally be considered data? That might explain why some would like to be saving PSML in the database. Others might want to configure the PSML simply as files because it is primarily fixed in their scenarios. As things stand today, should I assume that PSML development/deployment should be done with the maven plugin merge as outlined by Scott? Just feeling around in the dark guys.. thanks for the patience! Randy Watler
Re: JetSpeed2 Development Logistics
David/Scott: OK, thanks to your input, I think I am finally ready to dig in. Here would be my initial development guidelines: Portlets - WEB-INF/deploy Decorations/Layouts Resources - WEB-INF/deploy Jetspeed2 Component Customization/Configuration - Jetspeed2 Maven Plugin merge/deploy Other Resources - treat as editable data files that will eventually be deployable PSML - treat as editable data files that will eventually be deployable as files and/or stored in the database as live data Only modifications that will be contributed to the Jetspeed2 project should be made in the native Jetspeed2 product trees/sandbox. Thanks guys, Randy Watler
JetSpeed2 Maven Plugin
After poking around in the CVS JetSpeed2 world off and on over the last two days, I have a quick question on how the existing Maven Plugin support should be used. I would like to start building a customized portal. Since there is no jetspeed2:genapp goal yet, I assume that I should copy the /portal directories as a starting point and use the jetspeed2:build.portal goal to merge/build jetspeed2 support into my customized version? Is it safe to say that one should not edit the contents of /portal? Just trying to get started on the right foot! Randy Watler
RE: JetSpeed2 Maven Plugin
David, Thanks for the reply: no wonder I was having trouble with the approach! I would like to use the customizer at some point, but for now I would like to figure out how the underlying mechanics work! I am focusing on the layout/decorations at the momoment... let me dig around some more. Once I get it figured out, I will add it to the Wiki for you if you'd like so that you and others can help me get other newbies off the ground with jetspeed2.

We are trying hard to not repeat that pattern. Our goal is to make all resources deployable: - layouts - decorators - portlet applications If you develop a portlet application, simply drop it into the auto deploy directory You are right, you should not edit the portal or components directories unless you are planning on submitting a patch However if you develop your own component, such as the Portal's NavigationState Component or Aggregator Component for example, then you can extend the existing Jetspeed component if necessary, and develop your own component and assemble it in the jetspeed-spring.xml You can also assemble pipelines of request execution in the pipelines.xml, also based on Spring components To create your own portal layout on a page, you will still need to manually edit the PSML until our customizer is ready We have made some progress in the customizer recently, but its still not quite there For examples of creating deployable units of decorations and layout, see examples under portal/src/webapp/WEB-INF/decorations/ We really need more documentation in this area I'll try to get that up on the Wiki -- David Sean Taylor Bluesunrise Software [EMAIL PROTECTED] [office] +01 707 773-4646 [mobile] +01 707 529 9194 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: JetSpeed2 Development Logistics
Phillip, Yes, we too are interested in role based PSML configuration, (right?). I am glad to see there is general interest in helping the jetspeed2 team develop a tutorial and look forward to any and all input. At this point, I am trying to lay the foundation for a tutorial by establishing the best practices for customizing the base build/install. Once there, I think I will move immediately on to layout/decoration/page/security configuration based on the things I need to do while prototyping our Portal. After I get the base content in place and look and feel off the ground, I was going to address portlet development/deployment. I too would like to see more focus on jetspeed2 configuration than was developed for jetspeed1.5. However, even our modest portal project will require some portlet development! I would guess that a Wiki based FAQ/Tutorial that can be contributed to over time will eventually find the balanced coverage we all need. Thanks for the encouragement, Randy Watler Philip Saville wrote: Hi Randy, If you're thinking of offering input for the Tutorial for Jetspeed 2, I would like to offer a few comments about the Jetspeed 1.5 tutorial I hope can be improved. I found the first few chapters of the original tutorial very helpful in configuring and customizing the look and feel of the portal. The primary focus of the tutorial, however, seemed to be about developing portlets, although it is an excellent way to customize ones portal, the tutorial did not really explain enough detail about PSML. My goal is to have a portal based solely on roles. Imagine a portal designed for hundreds of users where the administration of the content is managed by a small team, roles are the only sensible solution. Once I have figured out exactly how I can accomplish this, I would be very willing to help/ contribute towards a tutorial or publication about the Jetspeed 2.

I generally understand the configuration being done in jetspeed-spring.xml and pipelines.xml. Would I edit these configuration files in the deployed jetspeed/WEB-INF/assembly directly? To create your own portal layout on a page, you will still need to manually edit the PSML until our customizer is ready We have made some progress in the customizer recently, but its still not quite there Right. Editing PSML is certainly not a big deal. I suppose adding and deleting pages falls into the same category. However, I am still hesitant to modify the deployed jetspeed webapp... is that the intended development strategy? Obviously, there are numerous jetspeed configuration and content files that one might wish to edit/delete/create.

Re: jetspeed 1.5 tutorial for jetspeed2?
Scott, Thanks for the information. I am certainly leaning toward Jetspeed 2 because of the JSR-168 compatibility, but am searching for a way to bootstrap myself into the Jetspeed world. I had hoped that much of the configuration, (i.e. decoration, layout, site, and navigation specifications, etc.) would be portable between Jetspeed 1.5 and 2. I figured that moving into our Portlet development could be pushed off until I was comfortable with manipulating other aspects of Jetspeed. We tend to be forward looking and not risk adverse, so we'll probably go with Jetspeed 2 given your input. The only question is how to get started? Since I am starting from ground 0, I would be willing to generate a HOW-TO/tutorial for Jetspeed 2. It seems that I am not the only one asking and I need to turn over the Portal development to another team once I complete the evaluation/prototype anyway! Thanks! Randy Watler Scott T. Weaver wrote: Hi Randy, Jetspeed 1 and 2 are quite different animals. Jetspeed 1's portlets are developed using a proprietary approach unique to Jetspeed 1. All Jetspeed 1 portlets are served up directly from Jetspeed 1's webapp i.e. they are not individual servlet applications. Jetspeed 2 OTOH utilizes standard, JSR-168 portlet applications. All portlet applications deployed to Jetspeed 2 are also deployed to the enclosing application server (Tomcat 4/5 and JBoss 3.2.5) have been officially tested). I highly recommend an approach that will allow you to develop JSR-168 portlets as opposed to J1 portlets. That being said there are two viable approaches to running JSR-168 in a Jetspeed environment. One, you could go with Jetspeed 2 which currently lacks some important features like navigation, full customization (some customization has been just added which allows positioning of portlets) and administrative portlets. The other approach is to use Jetspeed 1 with Fusion enabled. Fusion uses a the Jetspeed 2 Portal Engine with a different configuration (easily done due to the fact that Jetspeed 2 is built almost entirely on top of the Spring Framework) to process JSR-168 portlet applications and serve them through an existing Jetspeed 1 deployment (available only through the CVS). p.s. I am currently using Jetspeed 2 to build a VAR Business Portal for the project I am currently on, so I will be implementing many of the missing features in a relatively short period of time.

Re: jetspeed 1.5 tutorial for jetspeed2?
Scott, So, with the following goals in mind... 1. Create a tutorial on getting started with Jetspeed2, 2. ultimately deploy on JetSpeed2, and 3. bootstrap most efficiently now in the current Jetspeed 1.5/2 dichotomy. ...what approach do you suggest I take then? Randy Watler Scott T. Weaver wrote: A tutorial would be great!!! I would ask that you put the tutorial on the wiki, http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2, so everyone can contribute to it and so it stays fresh. I already have a mini-tutorial form custom portlets out there, http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2/DeployingCustomPortlets, which may help you get started. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
jetspeed 1.5 tutorial for jetspeed2?
I am evaluating jetspeed and am interested in deploying Jetspeed 2 as soon as possible. I gather that J2 is due to be in alpha/beta soon. However, knowing little about Jetspeed at this point, I wonder if it would be appropriate to start with Jetspeed 1.5 first? How much knowledge will transfer to Jetspeed 2?
