Have you looked at http://www.liferay.com/products/index.jsp which is built
open source technologies like Hibernate, Lucene, and Struts.

Struts has a much better control, while JetSpeed has established
portlets and facilities to connect devices to portlets. The problem with
Jetspeed is that it is binding to Turbine, while Struts allows complete
separation of controller framework and presentation layer. Struts-Tiles
enable 1 single web-page view rather than portal view and portlet view.

With the release of JSR-168 specification  of portal/portlet container
based on standard Servlet container, it makes a lot of sense to refactor
Struts framework to work with standard Servlet / Portal /Portlet
container. Then an effort to refactor Jetspeed portlets into this
framework. I wonder if any developer has playing with this idea? I heard
Craig and Cedric have something under their desks, and not ready to
share yet? Am I  right?
