jetspeed 1.5 tutorial for jetspeed2?

I am evaluating jetspeed and am interested in deploying Jetspeed 2 as soon
as possible. I gather that J2 is due to be in alpha/beta soon. However,
knowing little about Jetspeed at this point, I wonder if it would be
appropriate to start with Jetspeed 1.5 first? How much knowledge will
transfer to Jetspeed 2?

Scott,

So, with the following goals in mind...

1. Create a tutorial on getting started with Jetspeed2,
2. ultimately deploy on JetSpeed2, and
3. bootstrap most efficiently now in the current Jetspeed 1.5/2 dichotomy.

...what approach do you suggest I take then?

A tutorial would be great!!!  I would ask that you put the tutorial on 
the wiki, http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2, so everyone can 
contribute to it and so it stays fresh.  I already have a mini-tutorial 
form custom portlets out there, 
http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2/DeployingCustomPortlets, which 
may help you get started.

Scott,

Thanks for the information. I am certainly leaning toward Jetspeed 2 
because of the JSR-168 compatibility, but am searching for a way to 
bootstrap myself into the Jetspeed world. I had hoped that much of the 
configuration, (i.e. decoration, layout, site, and navigation 
specifications, etc.) would be portable between Jetspeed 1.5 and 2. I 
figured that moving into our Portlet development could be pushed off 
until I was comfortable with manipulating other aspects of Jetspeed.

We tend to be forward looking and not risk adverse, so we'll probably go 
with Jetspeed 2 given your input. The only question is how to get 
started? Since I am starting from ground 0, I would be willing to 
generate a HOW-TO/tutorial for Jetspeed 2. It seems that I am not the 
only one asking and I need to turn over the Portal development to 
another team once I complete the evaluation/prototype anyway!

Thanks!

Hi Randy,

Jetspeed 1 and 2 are quite different animals.  Jetspeed 1's portlets are 
developed using a proprietary approach unique to Jetspeed 1.  All 
Jetspeed 1 portlets are  served up directly from Jetspeed 1's webapp 
i.e. they are not individual servlet applications.  Jetspeed 2 OTOH 
utilizes standard, JSR-168 portlet applications.  All portlet 
applications deployed to Jetspeed 2 are also deployed to the enclosing 
application server (Tomcat 4/5 and JBoss 3.2.5) have been officially 
tested).  I highly recommend an approach that will allow you to develop 
JSR-168 portlets as opposed to J1 portlets.

That being said there are two viable approaches to running JSR-168 in a 
Jetspeed environment.  One, you could go with Jetspeed 2 which currently 
lacks some important features like navigation, full customization (some 
customization has been just added which allows positioning of portlets) 
and administrative portlets.  The other approach is to use Jetspeed 1 
with Fusion enabled.  Fusion uses a the Jetspeed 2 Portal Engine with a 
different configuration (easily done due to the fact that Jetspeed 2 is 
built almost entirely on top of the Spring Framework) to process JSR-168 
portlet applications and serve them through an existing Jetspeed 1 
deployment (available only through the CVS).

p.s.

I am currently using Jetspeed 2 to build a VAR Business Portal for the 
project I am currently on, so I will be implementing many of the missing 
"features" in a relatively short period of time.

HTH,
