Hi,
We're trying to embed Pluto too (to be able to run a CMS inside of a
Portlet).
The only documentation we've found is
http://portals.apache.org/pluto/pluto-container/embed.html
which is comically void of any details:
"Step 1: Implement org.apache.pluto.PortletContainerServices" ... yes, how?
Did you have any luck in getting anything to work?

Thanks Ben,
But i'm still unsure about what is the definition of the portal ID is. Is it
the context + portlet name?
Thanks,

Hi,
Is there a tutorial avialable on how to do this?

BTW, this will be in the upcoming 1.1.3 release as well as future 1.2.x
releases.

This is probably late, but I've just committed to trunk a filter that
will simplify embedding a portlet, or two, or however many into a simple
jsp page.
This filter enables you to simply use the pluto:portlet tags to hard
code the path of your portlet into a jsp. No configuration other than
that and adding the filter config to your web.xml is requied. see
about.jsp in the portal app for an example.

Sorry, my wife kindly reminded me that it was the holidays and I should
spend time with her and the kidos over the weekends --
I've set aside time tomorrow to get to some. Sorry for the delay.

Hi David,
Did you manage to write anything about it?
I'm just back from the christmas holidays and we're as stuck on this as
ever.

Really? There should only be 2 configuration files. Which ones are you
referring to?

If you want to bootstrap the container, then you're probably not using
the driver. The driver does the bootstrapping for you. . . can you
explain more?
If you want to bootstrap, you need to create the container yourself.
You can either use the container factory for that or you can use an IoC
container to glue it together. The biggest task you'll undertake is
implementing the services which the container needs to execute. This
primarily includes giving the container a way to create urls in a way
that your application can understand.

Gotcha, that should definitely be a piece of cake, and since it
obviously hasn't been for you, we need to do some documentation (as a
side note, you may want to consider using a servlet instead of a jsp to
perform the actual integration). You definitely don't need the portal
driver for this type of functionality.
This is great feedback. I'll try to put together a tutorial over the
weekend which details how to do this. Would you be willing to review it
and provide some enhancements based on your experiences?

Hi David,
Actually, it *is* the Pluto Portal Driver we're trying to use. But we can't
find any documentation on how to use it. There's the API JavaDocs and a big
heap of configuration property files, but that seems to be it.
I think what we want is to be able to bootstrap the container from java
code, with a minimum of configuration files, etc.
What we have is a CMS (Magnolia) that we want to embed in our web site, and
the only useful API the CMS provides for that is the Portlet API.
Essentially we're just trying to get a single Portlet to render in a legacy
JSP page (i.e. no option to use a special Servlet or anything).

What details are you looking for? Each of these services needs to be
implemented in an application specific means. If you really don't have
any idea where to start, then you probably don't need a custom solution
and you should probably be using the pluto portal driver instead of
embedding the container directly.
Where are you stuck? Have you considered using the driver's
implementation?

Hi Nate,
To quote that article:
// Step 1) Create an instance of the PortletContainerService
PortletContainerServices impl = . . .
Even though that article is several pages long, it still doesn't really
provide any more information on this issue.
