Scott,

thank you very much for your detailed reply. I'm gonna try put together a
few portlets this evening with myfaces. The boss is looking to can JSF and
go for the *safer* option of cocoon. A thought that has me quietly looking
at other job prospects :-0

Sure, you can. But I don't think that spec is compatible with JSR-301. The alpha status of the myfaces portlet bridge is due to 2 factors.

1. The TCK for JSR-301 is not written yet, so functionality of the bridge may need to change to be compliant with the TCK. The automated unit tests have also not been written and are awaiting the TCK so we can closely match the official tests.

2. The JSR-301 spec is not yet finalized either, so the API and functionality may have to change for that.

I will say that alpha-3, once I get the vote out later today, most closely matches the JSR-301public draft and the Potlet bridge project at Apache is going to be the R.I.

The bridge java.net is a pre-301 bridge. This bridge does not have the extended request scope that you saw with ICE-Faces (like 301 does) and a number of other features of 301.

The disadvantage of 301 is that it is a new spec and, right now, renderkit support might be a bit spotty. But this is the standard and will be the most compatible bridge going forward.

If you do choose a pre-301 bridge, you'll want to use the bridge that is recomended by your renderkit. Tobago and tomahawk I think both recomend the bridge built into MyFaces 1.1and 1.2 alhought for 1.2 and onward, the official bridge is the portlet bridge project. Aphce bridges has a bridge project and I think it supports a number of 1.1 renderkits.

As for the stuff at java.net, your looking at the sun renderkits and this is most compatible with Sun's portal. Before 301, there were too many unanswered questions as to the JSF/portal contract, so all bridges did thing a little differently.

Hope that helps.

Hi there,

I have been building an internal application with ICEfaces(1.7.1/1.7.2),
Liferay(5.1.0), however I have a experienced odd problem with ICEfaces
multiple renderings being the biggest. I am looking to give my faces a try,
only concern I have is the portlet-bridge being in alpha state. Is it
possible to use the https://jsfportletbridge.dev.java.net in conjunction
with myfaces?
