Jetspeed only deals with the actual portal infrastructure itself. The distribution provides several example portlets that allow you to develop many different kinds of portlets from static web pages, JSPs, Velocity, etc. If you can write your Outlook interface into a JSP page--it is straight forward to implement this into your portal using the JSP portlet template. I would advise using the templates to begin with rather than using the Portlet API directly unless you have a real need to extend the way the Outlook interface interacts with the portal. An aside: This Jacob project looks cool. I went to their page, but I am not sure where to begin. I have an IT Request form written in ASP that I am dying to get ported over to Java. Currently the form uses cdo to create a new Outlook task for the IT Help Desk folks. Do you have any code you might be able to share with me to help me with this? Best regards, Aaron

I have some Java code that, using the JACOB com bridge, can start an MS-Outlook instance. Now I would like to build a portlet, so I can display Outlook for a user over the net. Is this possible using Jetspeed? I've seen Oracle developing this kind of portlet for the Oracle Portal.
