Portals Bridges subprojects created, Struts Portlet Framework moved and refactored

Thu, 29 Jul 2004 15:37:00 -0700

After the long discussion on this list and the general portals list concerning my proposal for Portlet Frameworks the outcome is that we will opt for creating a new Portals subproject in which we will host these "frameworks" under the name "Bridges".

These bridges will use as base package name: org.apache.portals.bridges.
Furthermore, for JSP taglibs the base uri portals.apache.org/bridges/ will be used.
Finally, the maven artifacts created for the bridges will use portals-bridges as groupId and portals-bridges-<framework>-<version> as artifactId.

Because the subproject isn't created yet (and first will have to be approved by the Portals PMC) the current Struts Portlet Framework (and soon the Perl and PHP applications) will for the time being be stored in the J2 cvs repository.

For this, I created a new J2 portals-bridges subfolder to which the current Struts Portlet Framework has been moved with as new base package org.apache.portals.bridges.struts.

The SPI for this framework now is part of the bridges common (maven) subproject and renamed from StrutsServletContextProvider to the more generic ServletContextProvider.

Required changes for anymore building on the now "old" Struts Portlet Framework:
- project.xml:
  dependency change from struts-portlet:struts-portlet-spi-0.1.jar to
    portals-bridges:portal-bridges-common-0.1.jar
  dependency change from struts-portlet:struts-portlet-0.1.jar to
    portals-bridges:portal-bridges-struts-0.1.jar
- web.xml:
  action servlet class change from org.apache.struts.portlet.StrutsServlet to
    org.apache.portals.bridges.struts.PortletServlet
- portlet.xml:
  portlet class change from org.apache.struts.portlet.StrutsPortlet to
    org.apache.portals.bridges.struts.StrutsPortlet
  portlet init parameter ServletContextProvider value change (for J2 users) from
    org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.StrutsServletContextProviderImpl to
    org.apache.jetspeed.portlet.ServletContextProviderImpl

    Note: for non J2 users using a different Impl class please not it now has to
    implement org.apache.portals.bridges.common.ServletContextProvider instead
    of org.apache.struts.portlet.StrutsServletContextProvider
- JSP:
  struts-portlet taglib uri reference change from
    http://struts.apache.org/tags-portlet to
    http://portals.apache.org/bridges/struts/tags-portlet

I've update all references in J2 accordingly.

Finally, I've moved the struts demo application under the applications folder in J2.

Once the new Portals subproject is created the bridges now stored in the J2 cvs will be moved to there.
