Embedding Pluto

[Shane Paul <Sh...@conexa.com>]

Well that was a mission, but it is done:

Built the pluto driver+extras from scratch using eclipse and made it
compatible with spring 2.0M3.
Embedded it into our website using nothing more than the portlet tags,
as originally hoped.
I guess now you know it can be done. Writing some docs on what I did for
my personal and company records. If anyone is interested, just ask.

Very happy. :)

The only thing I cannot work out is having to add:
<% new PortalEnvironment(request, response); %> 
To the jsp file before using the portlet tag. I understand it places
"things" into the request and/or session scope, but I am not sure why
this does not happen when the tag is called. Will most likely edit the
source again to add this.

cheers.

Hi Shane

Usually, you'd put this somewhere above the first portlet tag of a jsp
page: <portlet:defineObjects/>. I haven't seen your scriptlet
before... it's probably doing the same. Using the above tag is the
recommended way of initializing portletRequest, portletResponse and a
few other objects.
