Build a portal

[Roland Carlsson <ro...@alfa-moving.se>]

Hi!

I have built an intranet for a while now and have build everything in small
discrete parts that are quite independat of each other. Using the Single
sign on valve made it easy to integrate the parts and since we are using a
frameset the menus wasn't a problem.

Now we are going to replace our frameset with includes and now I forsee a
pain in the neck keeping look and feel consistent since I don't have the
framset but have to keep a copy of the common components in every web-app.

I am really hoping that I have missed something but isn't there a way to
have common components in one place only?

Thanks in advance
Roland Carlsson

Not really a Tomcat question and it isn't very clear exactly what you
are after but I am guessing you might want to use something like the
ROOT webapp to store all the common & static files and then you can
refer to them with absolute links like href=/media/images/logo.gif
