Jar file containing new portlets that enhance IFrame and webrewriting capabilities

[Casimiro Lovato-Winston <wi...@metnet.navy.mil>]

Hello,

We would like to submit to the group some portlet classes that we have been
working on for your review and use. Included here is a .jar file with source
for portlets and utility classes that do the following:

        * navigate without leaving the portal
        * handle XML->XSL transformations
        * proxy information or content not available to the user
        * be independent of cookies
        * maintain session state whether data is proxied or
           directly available.
        * allow pop-up content and navigation through html rewriting and
session
           management.

    The classes included here are alpha-level and are intended to show what
we
    have accomplished so far so that other developers can use/modify/comment
    and we can all benefit. Unpack the jar file to see docs, source files,
and          class files, and a config file for your review. I will try to
setup a demo site soon.

DESCRIPTIONS

    PORTLETS
    IframeProxyPortlet - Portlet that renders an iframe in the portal. In
this case the portlet will pass references to an xsl style sheet(URL) and
the id of the portlet to the BrowserServlet which will use this information
to render content to the client and to maintain correct state for each
portlet it may be gathering content for. It also will know and inherit the
correct session information and know which cascading style sheet to use if
specified. This portlet is also independent from cookies.

    WebBrowserPortlet - This a portlet that supports cookie-less operation,
xsl         transformations, proxy content, session state, and navigation
without leaving the portlet. Settings allow parameters for url/html
rewriting, pop-up content, proxied information, and xsl style sheet url.

All feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

David,
After your review and your approval, we would like to have these 
portlets checked in. These portlets were integrated with the Sept 24, 
2002 1.4b2-dev nightly build. We realize there were some jar updates in 
October, but we have not been unable to get a recent nightly build. We 
wanted to make these portlets available to the community now. The source 
can use some clean up to fit the Coding Spec, and can use additional 
testing. We feel the functionality is now stable and quite powerful, and 
that is why we are contributing at this time. Since we need these 
portlets for the project we are working on, we will be available to 
improve these portlets.
Thanks,
Glen Carl - gc@buonvia.com

Thanks, do you want this to be checked in, or perhaps it should be tested by
users for a while?
I probably won't get a chance to review it til next week.

Im working on some code that does the same thing, but its designing to work
with WebPagePortlet2.
