Looking for certain portlets
I tried to search the mailinglist, but with no avail. Couldn't find them
on the jetspeed website either.
I'm looking for portlets that can do the following:
- manage and subscribe to newsletters
- manage downloads
- publish news
- manage a FAQ
- manage links
- a searchengine that can search all these
Is this downloadable somewhere or do I have to develop them myself?
Regards,
Ilja

repost passing parameters to jsp
Posted by Krish Chandra <kr...@ERC.MsState.Edu>.
Does anyone know how to pass parameters to a jsp page within the registry
itself? i.e. in my portlets.xreg I have an IFramePortlet which has as its
source a jsp in another domain however this jsp needs to get the userName
from this domain. Any idea how I can do this. I have a userName session
Attribute set in my server.
thanks,
Krish.

Hi Ilja,
I would argue that Jetspeed is a "totally customizable website-out-of-the-box
type of thing". It just does not have your applications. But I would think
quite a few elements are there. For example there's an RSS portlet, which can
be used for news.
I think it's not Jetspeed's purpose to give applications, but to integrate
them. So take any content managment system and you can easily integrate it.
Take any newsletter management software (I'm sure there are quite a few) and
integrate it. And so on. It's not Jetspeed's purpose to deliver applications.

Hm,
That's a major disappointment. I hoped Jetspeed would have these
functionality, ie: a totally customizable website-out-of-the-box type of
thing. Unfortunately not.
Thanks for you quick and informative reply though,

Ilja

Ilja,
You have to think about Jetspeed in terms of it being a framework to
integrate your requirements into it by learning about the capability of
the default portlets. The problem of content management always comes
upon us quickly. For example, we needed a portlet that would announce
company news. We solved it by installing Zope, we then added a Zope
Product called Squishddot, a Slashdot look alike and that gave us the
ability to author the announcement and publish it quickly. We used an
IFrame portlet to host the content and it really did not take that much
time to install, configure and test. We had only minor server side
development to support it.
Thus, you will sometimes find it quicker to go outside of the Jetspeed
community to find a plug and play solution that can work in a portlet. I
doubt that you are going to find a ready made portlet that will give you
instant news publishing. But, if you spend a little time researching,
you might come up with a combination that will work such as Zope, Silva
Product and the Silva News Extension that might work nicely. I know for
myself I had to learn about the different portlet frameworks available
first.
Good Luck.
John
