Porting web applications from J1.5 to J2

[Stefano Bianchi <st...@softeco.it>]

Dear ALL,
I have to develop a new portal.

I used and customized a J 1.4b3 with many IFramePortlets hosting external
web applications.

Will J2 allow me to embed this IFramePortlets with web applications or would
it be better to stop at J 1.5?

Thank you guys
Stefano

I think you're better off first migrating your installation from JS 
1.4b3 to J1-CVS (or 1.6 when it's released).
This should be more or less a no brainer as J1.6 is expected to be fully 
backward compatible to 1.4

However, using 1.6 you'll be able to activate Fusion, which is basically 
a bridge to an embedded Jetspeed 2 M1,
and start porting your portlets one by one to JSR-168.

This should provide you with a smooth upgrade path to J2 : you'll not 
get the full benefits of J2 at first but
you're sure not to lose any functionality and minimize migration risks.
