Editor for html portlet content

[Ron Wheeler <rw...@artifact-software.com>]

  We think that we can build a portlet that takes text out of a database 
table and display it in a portlet assuming that the text is already HTML.
A full-blown CMS is way more than we need at this point.

Is there are common solution for the editing of these text fragments 
that everyone uses ?

We think that we can build an upload function that uses WebDav to put 
images onto an Apache httpd site that we use for static resources (I 
know that we could stick it in Tomcat but that server already has enough 
to do and we put static content on a server that is closer to the 
firewall and not so busy).
This will give us the ability to change text and graphics to make pretty 
pages.

I am pretty sure that this must have been done in the past.
Any comments or links that we should know about before inventing our new 
version of the wheel?

We are somewhere between version of 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 of Jetspeed if that 
matters.

There is a project in the APA (Apache Portals Applications) called apa-content:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/applications/sandbox/content/trunk

The project has examples of retrieving content from a JCR repository
and then editing the content with a javascript editor called Xinha.
You can see an example of the Xinha content editor built into the
portlets. More info on Xinha:

http://trac.xinha.org/

 I think you could modify it to retrieve text from your database...
