My first reply on this thread was because I am concerned about changes in how the values of these XML elements are being interpreted by the portal (if I understand what you mean in the following statements):
anonymous wrote : | the deployment descriptors portlet-instances.xml and xxx-portal.xml have changed, mostly the instance-ref and component-ref have changed because now it supposes that the components that could be referenced are in the same war file. | Sounds to me like you are changing either these elements or the meaning of the values of these elements. If you are suggesting in this statement: anonymous wrote : | I think the first wise step to do is to look at the document doctype in order to deploy only the documents which have the good doctype. | that you would ignore ***-portal.xml and portlet-instances.xml that are based on the Portal 2.0 release, I don't think that's necessarily the best forward path - that basically means that portals built for 2.0 won't work in 2.2 out of the box. I think it's a better design approach to accomodate your current Portal 2.0 adopters by supporting current portal 2.0 descriptor usage; but you can add in additional XML elements and/or attributes that work specifically in 2.2. You could subsequently announce that the XML descriptors are changing and that in a future release (3.X?) only the 2.2-specific XML will be supported. I don't have an idea for a tool to migrate existing applications forward if the XML changes...that's why I hope (:D) you will provide either a tool or a strategy for migration if you choose to break 2.0 style descriptors.
