Re: writing a PortletController
Posted by Andrea Franconi <an...@text-e.com>.
Hi,
tks for your help, but now i've got another problem:
I wrote my own class MyCustomPortletController following the existing
classes, then I registred it in controllers.xreg and modified a psml in order
to use my controller.
When I run jetspeed i can see the page but i have the portlet displayed
before the html structure I created in the controller.
In log file I had no exceptions, first MyCustomPortletController is correclty
added to the registry but then i had the error:
Failed to retrive com.mycompany.portal.controllers.MyCustomController.
I also tried to put the controller in org.apache.jetspeed.portal.controller
but the result is the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Re: writing a PortletController

PortletController are Portlet subclasses that are specialized to build
the layout strategy (ie the way portlets are organized on the page).
Since they are Portlets, they can (and the default ones do) use a templating
system like Velocity to control the controller view.
PortletController classes should also provide a customizer suited
to their layout strategy.
So if you to need to reimplement a completely new layout strategy (ex, free-floating
stackable portlets with an x,y coordinate and a z-order) you'll need to write a brand
new PortletController and customizer suited to the task.
If you want to rewrite the customizer for the default multi-column controller
you can simply change the controller customizer Action class.
If you just want to customize the screen apperance of the controller or customizer,
simply edit or copy the vm templates and modify them to suit your needs.

Can you explain me the relationship between the .vm controllers in
/WEB-INF/templates/controllers and the classes in
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.controllers ?
Thanks again

Re: Screens, Layouts & Skins using JSP
Posted by Paul Spencer <pa...@apache.org>.
Rajan,
Samples can be found in the <jetspeed-home>/WEB-INF/templates/jsp
directory tree.
Currently their are problems using the jsp layout engine. Review the
Jetspeed user mailing list at http://www.mail-archive.com/ for more
information on the problems. The problems do not prevent you from using
the JSP portlet type.

Just take one of the .vm controllers under
/WEB-INF/templates/controllers as an example, and customize it to your
needs, then add it to the controller registry and start using it in your
psml files
