Hi Marco,
I say go for it! I've personally had bad luck with WPS WebClipping, I've
actually considered writing one b/c at the time I needed greater control
than what I had or knew. I suppose I could have dug into the transcoder
stuff... but by that time requirements changed. I'm not knocking the WPS
portlet, just pointing out the value in having the source - an open source
version.
I was working with David Taylor and Josh Hsieh on the concept of
RemoteService interface, and a WebPageService, RemoteConfiguration, and
RemoteSession (using commons-httpclient 2.?) Basically, the service would
provide "Remote" content services, e.g. http, https (this is the
WebPageService), other RemoteService implementations could be WebDAV, FTP,
sFTP, etc. The use for service was/is for WebPagePortlet2. Basically the
WebPageService uses httpclient to manage url retrieval as well as
authentication, http proxy support, session "proxying", and holding a host
configuration for the portlet once it has requested and set a configuration
/ holding the cookies, and credentials for a user per host config. I can
send you what I had done (anyone else as well). The main reason I contacted
David directly about this work - as opposed to on the list is b/c I still
consider myself "new to java", and want to have David's advice, and code
review, and what not.
Last I left I off with it... I had sent Josh and David my .war. I think I
scared them off with my code? :[ I didn't hear back. David, I realize how
busy you've been (hopefully it wasn't entirely my code), so perhaps David,
Josh, Marco, and myself and anyone else can work on this. I'd see this as
the;
Services
WebPageService /RemoteService
TransformerService (the web clipping and transform for another device
service)
Portlets
WebClip Portlet
WebPagePortlet2
(many other portlets could use these services)
I've got to imagine David is really tied up with J2? So perhaps others can
also provide that code review and guidance if David is tied up.
Send your thoughts.
Thanks
Attached: is pdf design I started with... it's out of date, but roughly the
same more or less. I've not gotten into the form based authentication, nor
the cache, and global configuration is no longer, and rewriter is up in the
portlet (not functioning). At a basic level I've got the manager, service,
sessions, session, remotehosts, remotehost. and a portlet that can pull down
via NTLM, BasicAuth, ssl, or plain http. The goal with WebPagePortlet2 is to
"proxy the user thru" multiple requests, and add several features for
authentication etc.

Hi!
For my master thesis I'd like to contribute to Jetspeed (I've already posted
my cHTML and PDA project).
If you are interested I'm realizing a Web Clipping portlet (like Ibm or
Oracle Web clipping portlets).
Or I can realize a portlet that adapts the content of a Web page to mobile
devices (cHTML, WML, PDAs...).
In alternative I can contribute to Jetspeed 2, but in this case I have no
idea of what to do, and I need a job that can
give concrete results in a pair of months, because I have to write something
in the thesis :)...
Thanks for any suggestion,
Marco Mari
