Struts2 WebApp Portlet Bridge

[Rohit Srivastava <ro...@gmail.com>]

Have been trying to figure out which web framework to be used, however, this
is not going to be one of the  "what's the best framework" type of
questions.

Is there is a generic portlet bridge which can enable struts2 web
applications deployment as a standard compliant portlet ?

The application architecture is going to be different , and there seems to
be no direct way out. Once as a portlet, you can't put it as a simple web
app without using a portlet container. And once as a webapp, the portlet
architecture (two phases rendering, modes, lack of URL addresability)  comes
in the way for full blown portlet deployment.

So, perhaps by following proper guidelies (using struts2 tag libs) is it
possible to deploy struts webapp as a portlet ? Lets drop the inter-portlet
communication anyway.

I checked out the portlet plugin, but it seems to support native portlet
development.

Any ideas or previous experiences to share ?

Very Thanks, Rohit

Struts 2 portlet support is provided through the portlet-plugin:
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.6/docs/portlet-plugin.html

There's a tutorial here:
