Stripping the tutorial
hello every one:
I am reading the following tutorial:
http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/02/page-decoration.html
Followed every single step and things are fine (thank you for the
documentation).
Now, I am reading through section 2 (02. Customizing Your Portal Design)
I don't think that I understand what's going on.
In the tutorial there should be four downloads
http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/references/tutorial_distribution.html:
I have tried the first section of the tutorial as described, and then I
diverged a bit and deleted the project "express-demo" and pointed the
variable
app.server.home to /opt/tomcat, which where I have tomcat installed for
my development. Now I am getting the same results. So why do I need the
express -demo ?
How do I avoid including tomcat in the installer ?

Recommend starting with the documentation:
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/
And the portal spec, as we follow the portal spec very closely. The
first section makes has great definitions of what is a portal,
portlet, PA, etc...
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=168
Finally, a free book:

I don't think I want to do this. It will vey time consuming to download
and read the source. Is there a graphical presentation of the jetspeed
and a portlet. Just to demonstrate how things are related to each other
(ie. portals, portlets, portal apps, web pages...etc. )?

Being an open source project, we try to support different web
application frameworks
If you look through the source code in Bridges and Jetspeed
Applications you will see examples of writing portlets with JSP, JSF,
Velocity, Groovy, and we are soon to be adding Wicket examples
I know you expect tutorials and books, and that is all very valuable,
but sometimes the best way to learn is to just svn checkout the code,
I mean, if you are into that sort of thing

I looked around but couldn't find a lot of resources for jetspeed. The

Hi there Mansour!
Could you please point out where you found your answer on the question of
how to use JSP?
I will be using though Maven to built my portal!
Is it completely diferent from Ant and Eclipse?
I mean....maven works as well along with Eclipse or Its just Maven by it
self?
And also is there any tutorial on how to get started with Jetspeed and
Maven....because this for Ant & Eclipse seems great...
Thenx a lot

One more question, how can I use jetspeed with jsp. I don't to use
velocity. Is there a way ?

Re: Stripping the tutorial
Posted by Mansour <ma...@yahoo.com>.
It worked. Thank you very much.
Now I know what are the very basic set of files that I need to play with
and get familiar.
I did not copy the j2-admin. I don't need it now. When I had a look at
the tutorial to build form source, it had many properties, so I though
these properties will be hard coded and once jetspeed is built, I can
not copy it and deploy it to another server without rebuilding. This
little test, gave me what I need.
My next step will be to try to package the whole thing in a war file and
deploy it to an existing tomcat.
Thank you again

That was very fast response, thank you everyone.
I'll try it soon.

This still leaves you with the task of creating the tables and
populating the database
If you look in $INSTALLED_TOMCAT/database, there is an ant script
(run the default target, "setupDB") that will do that for you
interactively

Try just taking the war file that is created and sticking it in your

If you need to add any jars to Tomcat, you will find out PDQ.

What files do I need to package in the war file. Is there a reference
or how to?

I mentioned this before on the list: the tutorial there only goes as
far as chapter 01
That is as far as I got in converting the tutorial from Maven-2.

We don't have an installer available that does not include Tomcat inside
It trivial (and not worth discussing here) to write an Ant script
that can take an installed version and overlay or package it for
another server such as another version of Tomcat
Or if you don't like the installer approach, then just build with
Maven-2, at least there is a complete tutorial
