Struts2 & Portlets

["CRANFORD, CHRIS" <Ch...@setech.com>]

I currently have a Struts2 application deployed on Tomcat7 and I am looking to add some dashboard portlet functionality.  I noticed that Struts2 has a porlet plugin but was curious whether it was possible to configure the WAR with an embedded portal container so that users continued to access my application

Hi Chris,

Almost all of our struts 2 development is to develop portlets, we use the
struts 2 portlet plugin a lot, and it works well for us. We even have a
couple of web applications where we use the same deployed *.war file for a
standalone webapp and a portlet webapp simultaneously.

We deploy our portlets to a pluto portlet container, so we simply add the
following in our pom.xml to have maven include the pluto-specific entries in
the web.xml that included in the resulting *.war file. It's the same build
process for portlet only and portlet + standalone webapp configurations.

>From the pom.xml ...

            
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                   
<webXml>${project.build.directory}/pluto-resources/web.xml</webXml>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

            
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.portals.pluto</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-pluto-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${pluto.version}</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>generate-resources</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>assemble</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

I hope that helps.
