simple questions

Can I use Jetspeed to connect to any type of application server (e.g. JRun,
BEA, PERL, ASP)


We are writing our own personalization engine based on EJB and LDAP
directory.  What amount of effort is required to integrate a custom engine
of this nature?

If you mean if jetspeed will run on top of JRun, we have tested this 
setup with an old version of JRun (2.X). We are currently testing with 
iPlanet (about current).

If you mean if you can use code to communicate with Jetspeed, the answer 
will depend on how are you interfacing.

Using a URL to get a XML or HTML file from your app server should work. 
there are some issues regarding "local" URLs, to avoid them entering in 
the cache, that should be solved soon.

Currently, the customizer API has full access to the internals of 
Jetspeed. It is bound to change in the Portlet API 2.0. The effort 
should not be big.
