Kickstart me :-)

[Markus Klink]

Hello everyone,

I hope that someone can point me to some documents which help me getting 
started with jetspeed, which I downloaded and installed correctly (1.3a1)

At the moment I am slighlty at a loss due to the number of components in 
the jetspeed framework.

As far as I understood it so far, Turbine is pretty much encapsulated by 
jetspeed. Please correct me if I am wrong. But I guess I need some more 
info about ECS. Unfortunately the ecs website does not provide any 
online information about the API. Does someone have a pointer to that? 
And how do castor etc. link to jetspeed?

In general I try to write an application/portal which enables some users 
(authentication) to review incoming emails  from certain accounts 
(connection to mail) after certain flexible criteria (configuration 
stuff). I would already be happy if someone could point me a little bit 
in the right direction as to how I can create a Login Screen which 
preferably uses XML and XSL and validates the login information against 
a database content which also includes other properties of the user. I 
know how to do this theoretically with servlets but with jetspeed I have 
the feeling that I would reinvent the wheel in terms of writing a 
database pool, a mapping from objects to sql and vice versa, using the 
javax.mail package to obtain the mail.

Thank you very much,

Markus
