i think wicket would solve a ton of difficult problems with building portals as long as you portlets are all wicket based :)
IPortletFactory { UUID getUUID(), String getName(), Portlet newPortlet(PortletState) }
enum PortletState(NORMAL,MAXIMIZED,MINIMIZED,EDIT)
class Portlet extends Panel
then drop a bunch of these factories where you can discover them, and bam - portal :)
but seriously
building a portal is a pretty large task, there are a lot of services the portal provides that are non trivial - such as user identity, security, etc, etc
but like i said - if you only want to support wicket-based portlets that confirm to your spec it shouldnt be too difficult
setting up your own os project isnt a big deal, just register it with sf.net and you are good to know. if you dont want to deal with that right now we would be happy to create wicket-contrib-portal for you in wicket-stuff so you can get started quickly and when you are ready you can move to a location of your choosing. the advantage of starting out in wicket-stuff is that you can benefit from all the devels who already have access to it ( if you want that of course :) )

I'm hoping it leads to more Wicket-based projects for me here at work
but I've got definite plans of my own - the first of which is a Portal
based on Wicket.
We have a really crappy portal here at work that was quite
expensive...and I'd really like to build something better myself w/
Wicket & EJB 3.0. As far as I know, there's nothing out there like
that currently, is there?
I was looking at JSR-286 but it looks like it's geared toward JSF, am
I correct? If that were the case I'd have no interest in conforming
to it - but please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd like to begin planning it right away but I thought I'd take some
feedback from the good folks behind Wicket first since you've all been
so helpful so far! I've never built anything quite as modular as a
portal before and I'm not sure where to begin as far as making
"portlets" dynamically loadable & modular while keeping performance
acceptable. I'd like to build an initial, rough, alpha-quality base
to release as an open source project and work from there.
I've never created my own open source project either, so any input
there would be helpful!
Thanks all!
