Hi,
In fact, I don't precisely know how to do what I want to obtain, and
that was the goal of my question. I'm sorry if I can't explain myself
clearly.
What I want is to obtain something similar to the WeatherPortlet, but
with JSP.
In weatherPortlet, there is a parameter (Weather Location) in the
customization part that contain several fields (City, Country, ...).
What I want is something similar (much more complicated in fact), by the
simplest way.
I use a JSP template for my parameter, and I don't know where and how to
retrieve the information the user will type in the fields.
I hope this is clear enough...
Thanks to try helping me, I'm really lost with this part.

You could change the security-entry "owner-only" and add admin to allow="*".
That's what I did.

Portlets execution flow
Posted by Oscar Ruiz <os...@gtd.es>.
Hi all,
can anyone clarify me how multiple MVC portlets (JSP for instance) are
executed and output displayed?
There is obviously an order in which portlet controllers are called,
apparently from top to bottom and left to right.
*apparently* the View component (JSP) is executed right after the
Controller, hence if portlets are sharing a Model the whole thing results in
a disaster.
Is there a way of rendering the page (i.e. execute the View components)
after all controllers have completed?
Many thanks.
Oscar.

Admin user can't modify other users' PSML through PSML Browser
Posted by John Tolentino <jt...@exist.com>.
Hi,
I have Jetspeed 1.5 running on Tomcat 4.1.29 and did the following:
- logged in using admin / jetspeed for username and password.
- created an "enabled" user named "test"
- tried to edit test/html/default.psml using the PSML Browser
Then I got this message: "You do not have access to these portlets."
The only PSMLs that admin could edit (aside from his own) is the anon
user's. I was expecting that I could edit any of the users' PSML since I
logged in as admin. Can anyone clarify if I'm doing something wrong; had the
wrong idea; or if there was indeed something wrong with the code and there's
already a fix for it?
Thanks,
John

A flexible way to provide custom UI elements (like drop down lists,
etc...) in the default customizer (or anywhere else you would care
to use them).
Without these styles, you would only have text boxes in the
customizer forms.

If you use the default customizer, you can't since everything is handled
by the customizer portlet.
If you use a custom customizer, you're in regular portlet territory, so either
you define an explicit action uin your customizer template and this action
will be invoked when you submit your customization form or you use your
default portlet action and use a event to submit your form.
If you use the second option, be aware that you won't automatically leave
the customize mode until execute the "controls.EndCustomze" action.
Have a look at "org.apache.jetspeed.modules.actions.portlets.CustomizeAction"
source and the following templates:
WEB-INF/templates/vm/portlets/html/customize-portlet.vm
WEB-INF/templates/vm/portlets/html/customize-update-save-row.vm
to see how the customization flow is handled in the default customizer.

Thanks, it's much more clear to me now. I think I'll have to use the
second solution.
I tried the first solution for a simple case previously but never made
it work. Just to know in case I need it later : How can I retrieve the
information the user has typed in my custom UI for one parameter? It's
not clear to me and every things I tried have failed.

Let's see: WeatherPortlet uses the default customizer that does not implement
any complex server-side validation of input.
If you're comfortable with this limitation, you can use the
JSPParamaterPresentationStyle inyour portlet xreg to have the customizer
import your JSP templates to provide custom UI for a specific parameter.
If you have more complex server-side validation needs you'll need to
define your own customier code:
- define a CustomizerJSP portlet (it seems that we never created it in the
default Jetspeed build, it should be there). Simply copy the
CustomizerVelocity to CustomizerJSP and change its base class to JSPPortlet
instead of VelocityPortlet.
- define your portlet in the registry to a have CustomizerJSP as parent
instead of JSP.
- now whenever you click customize on this portlet, the method
buildCustomizeContent() is called on your portlet action so that you do whatever
you need to prepare for cxustomization. Then set the template to use for
customization with setTemplate().
- set an action in the tempate to a custom customization action that'll handle
all the server-side validation, you can use the default customizer action
as a template for your action
(org.apache.jetspeed.modules.actions.CustomizeAction)
Actually, looking at the code there, there's probably an opportunity for us to
improve reuse of this code... I'll do some updates this week-end.
