Presenting a portlet in a gadget should be no problem, its a portal
layout with a single portlet hosted inside a gadget iframe, IMHO,
slightly pointless over a servlet (as thats all a single portlet on a
page is conceptually) but if the code is all written....
Presenting a gadget in a portlet, there are 3 flavors, one trivial two
quite hard.
Trivial is a portlet that contains a gadget iframe, from the 168 point
of view this rather breaks the whole point of 168 which is a flat page
with no iframes.
Presenting a cajoled gadget inside a flat portlet is going to be hard
as 168 will be trying to control the page lifecycle and the cajoed
gadget will also be expecting no page refresh.
Even harder would be to make a gadget obey the 168 page lifecycle.
IMVHO, it would make far more sense to make the portal layout manager
javascript and not use 168, then Gadgets and the 168 spec wouldn't be
fighting for control of the page lifecycle.

Tim,
This is an interesting problem :). While you are trying to host
gadgets
using a Portal Server (front) over Shindig (back), I'm exploring the
possibility of using Shindig (front) over Portal Server(back) i.e.
exposing everything as gadgets (web pages, applications and portlets).
Has anyone here written a portlet-gadget bridge or knows how to
present
any JSR 168/286 portlet through a gadget (URL gadget?).
Regards,
Vinod

I am integrating shindig into gxt based portlets, but it uses gwt .
I am not sure if it would help you in anyway.
Thanks and Regards,

Thanks for the response... I'm told that the work Liferay did to
integrate Shindig is dated now and probably won't work with the most
recent
version of Shindig. The code is supposed to be in the Liferay SVN
repository, but I'm having a hard time even finding the code they
wrote to
implement a Shindig portlet.
I thought maybe someone would have some input even on integrating
Shindig
into any portlet container.

IIRC Liferay adds recently a new shindig portlet plugin. I guess it
will be
your first starting point :)

Has anyone rendered an OpenSocial gadget within a Liferay Portlet?
Liferay portlets are JSR 168 & 286 compliant, so even if you
integrated OpenSocial into another portlet container that would be
interesting to me. I'm thinking the solution would include Liferay
rendering the portlet which then calls Shindig to render the gadget.
Anyone with any relevant experience doing this?
