Tapestry Portlet Support

["Daniel C. Watson" <dc...@email.unc.edu>]

Hi,

Im a java web developer working with the University of North Carolina at 
Chapel Hill.  We're starting a rather large project to implement a 
University wide portal, slated right now to be suns java portal.  Ive 
been using tapestry, mostly v5 lately, to build web apps for the 
university and privately, and have just recently been thrown into the 
portlet world.  It seems apparent that portlet support is definitely on 
the road map of Tap5, but would there happen to be a more detailed view 
of where portlet development falls on y'alls list of priorities?

I realize the development plan for these types of projects are never 
carved in stone, but Id like to propose to my co-workers that we begin 
considering tapestry (v4 for right now) as a serious candidate for a lot 
of our portlet work.  And being able to report that Tap5 would sometime 
in the future have portlet support would be a big help in swaying 
opinion.  Im perfectly fine with using v4, and moving to 5 as things 
develop, just wanted to get a pseudo-official update to pass on to my 
co-workers.

On that note a recent patch for the v4.1 portlet support (TAPESTRY-2548) 
was *extremely* helpful, as I had noticed the issue myself and was 
unable to resolve it.  I'll be trying out the patch in the morning.

Also, If this is the wrong channel for this type of question, please 
feel free to direct me elsewhere.


Thanks!

I can't make any big predictions for the short term future, but
Tapestry 5 was designed so that portlet support could be easily
plugged in.  The split that was introduced into Tapestry 4 to support
portlets was designed into Tapestry 5 from the get go.
