RE: [OT] OJB/Struts and Jetspeed

[James Higginbotham <jh...@betweenmarkets.com>]

Jetspeed is dead - check some list archives. They *may* redo something
to use the new portlet API, but I haven't seen much activity from them.
There may be some folks out there still working on it, but in reality,
some new codebase should probably take its place (or some new
maintainers should step up for Jetspeed, if the customer base is still
large enough).

In fact, they were trying to pawn off their portlet reference API off to
a friend of mine as well. Too bad, since we need something like a
PHPNuke equiv in Java. I'd be interested in a similar project if one
exists.. Anyone know of any good portal framework that uses Struts, OJB,
and other proven frameworks?

HTH,
James

Hi,

I am a Struts and OJB user and I would like to use Jetspeed.  The
problem is that Jetspeed architecture is heavily depended on
turbine/velocity/torque frameworks.  What I want to know is there any
plans, initiatives or fork to decouple Jetspeed to allow it to work with
OJB/Struts frameworks?

Are there any supports from Struts and OJB user communities to port
Jetspeed?

Thank you,
Hai Hoang

You should probably check out the BasicPortal project at 
<http://basicportal.sourceforge.net/>; it's based on Struts and 
organized by some pretty active members of the struts-user community. 
It doesn't use OJB as far as I know.

As for Jetspeed being dead...  I'm not even a Jetspeed user, let 
alone a developer, but the dev mailing list monthly volume is higher 
than that of Lucene or even Log4J...  However, from my exploring, 
I've gotten a mixed impression about the strength of the project 
community.  I'm curious which list archives have diagnosed its death?

It looks like this topic came up and petered out in December 2001 and 
January 2002; perhaps you should look at the Jetspeed mailing list 
archives or post to the list and survey the interest of the current 
developer community.  They could probably tell you better than I can 
whether they think Jetspeed is dead too!

Jetspeed is one of the references for the official Portal JSR (#168, 
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=168), that page indicates: "The RI 
will be managed by IBM as an open source project at Apache and will 
be made available under terms similar to that used for Apache 
Tomcat." but there's no knowing if that means extending Jetspeed or 
starting from scratch.  JSR #168 is behind its original schedule, but 
the public draft is currently scheduled for a December release.
