Create a Portal Application session on login without a portlet visible
Is it possible to have Jetspeed create a portal application session
scoped object (visible across all portlets in an application) that is
created when the user logs in to Jetspeed without having any of the
portlet application's portlets being visible?
I need a portlet application service (defined in the portlet war) to
start as soon as the user logs into Jetspeed. The caveat is that none of
the portlets from this application will be visible on the first page of
the portal. Has anybody done something like this before? Is it
possible without putting the service at the Jetspeed level?
Thanks.

Why not just call a method that saves the data when you need to save it
and returns the data
It you really want it as a service, why not just make it a webapp or Web
Service that accepts requests to save data and responds to requests to
get it back later.
Alternatively, you could just store the data in the users session
context and retrieve it whenever you want and have it disappear when the
user's session dies.
Don't forget that the portal is serving many people at once and just
because 1 user is on page 1 does not mean that there aren't a hundred
other people on page 3.
Your portlet serves all these people and when it is not processing an
actual request it is gone.
You need to either use the session context or use a service that is
smart enough not to mix up who told him what.

This portlet application service will be responsible for providing data
to a custom Jetspeed level service which will present status at the
decorator level.
The portlets that it's collecting data for might be on say page 3 but
the user is looking at page 1.
It should be created when the user logs into Jetspeed and be destroyed
when they log out.
I could define this service at the Jetspeed level also, but would prefer
if at all possible to define it in the portlet application level.

What is it going to do while the user is logged in and how will it know
when the user has moved on?
What processing will it be doing while the user has gone to get a
sandwich? Or a nap?
Are you just trying to keep track of information for the duration of the
session?
