It is pretty likely that there are problems with running Shale in
portlets.
For example, any functionality that relies on a Servlet Filter (or other
aspects of the Servlet API directly) is going to fail. Therefore, I've
filed a bug report[1] in the issue tracking system to monitor this issue.
Feel free to add comments about your own experiences to this report.
I have tentatively tagged this as targeted fo 1.0.4 (i.e. the next
release),
even though we are trying to keep the scope of this very small in order to
get it out quickly (ideally in time for ApacheCon US next month). But
this
is a really important issue, so I'll try to persuade the other developers
that we need to deal with it in this time frame.
