MyFaces need integration with the portlet spec
----------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-86
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-86
Project: MyFaces
Type: New Feature
Reporter: Stan Silvert
The JSF specification includes provisions for a JSF application to run inside a
Portlet. As this is currently missing from MyFaces, I have written code to add
this feature to the org.apache.myfaces source tree.
There are two new pacakges:
org.apache.myfaces.portlet
org.apache.myfaces.context.portlet
Plus there are several changes to the existing code base. Most of them are
simple changes to account for the differences between a PortletRequest and a
regular ServletRequest. While the JSF spec does a pretty good job of hiding
these differences with the ExternalContext, they could not hide it completely.
Plus, there are a few places that MyFaces code failed to use the
ExternalContext properly. All of this has been fixed in the modified source.
Here is the result of a CVS update to HEAD for the org.apache.myfaces source
tree:

Changes to build.xml and build.default.properties were needed to add the
portlet.jar to the build.
M build.default.properties
M build.xml
The portlet-api-1.0.jar is added to the lib directory.
This integration code was tested on the Portlet reference implementation known
as Jakarta Pluto. I can help with configuration of that for whoever is going
to be working on this.
I am attaching everything that is needed to build the code. When someone is
ready, I will help with documentation and testing with Pluto.
