MVCPortlet Proposal





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-03-11 16:33 -------
I've been somewhat following your discussions and here's my .02:

1. Backwards compatibility is top priority. We wouldn't want to introduce any 
migration issues in a minor release (as we did going from b2 to b3). This 
change should be totally transparent - and the way this stuff is designed, it 
can be (that's a complement, BTW).

2. We should keep JspPortlet and VelocityPortlet classes because unfortunatly 
the class entry gets "merged" with every instance of these portlets when the 
registry is rewritten on shutdown. So if you were to reuse these registries 
with Jsp/VelocityPortlet gone, it would cause problems. They can be deprecated 
in the future.

3. We add GenericMVCPortlet entry to registry so other can take advantage of it 
(we need to document it as well):

  <portlet-entry name="GenericMVCPortlet" hidden="false" type="abstract"
application="false/>
    <classname>org.apache.jetspeed.portal.portlets.GenericMVCPortlet</classname>
  </portlet-entry>

4. We could provide convenience definitions for Jsp/VelocityPortlet:

  <portlet-entry name="VelocityPortlet" hidden="false" type="ref"
      parent="GenericMVCPortlet" application="false">
      <parameter name="viewtype" value="Velocity" hidden="true"/>
  </portlet-entry>

  <portlet-entry name="JspPortlet" hidden="false" type="ref"
      parent="GenericMVCPortlet" application="false">
      <parameter name="viewtype" value="Jsp" hidden="true"/>
  </portlet-entry>
