Now the explanation gets a bit complicated, I think the easiest way is to quote my other mail:
<quote> I'm new to Jetspeed and have some very basic questions: We have an XML based web information delivery framework, now we support HTML, SMS, Mail and WAP. My job is now to look into the possiblity of making it portal-ready. I don't think there's any problem to convert the output to be displayed in Jetspeed, but we also want to make the simple configuration available using a portal interface. It's quite simple, but does involve several steps (screens) of interaction, my question is that is this possible/feasible with Jetspeed? I couldn't find much documentation concerning this, so maybe someone from the list can shed some light? Any hints and tips would be highly appreciated, and many thanks in advance! </quote> So, with multi-screen I mean multiple steps of interaction, like configuration dialogues. My problem is that I don't really know how a portlet works, let's say if I click a submit button in a portlet, the next screen should be fetched, but where is it displayed? I don't want the output to occupy the whole window, only the portlet area, the rest of the page should remain unchanged, only my portlet area now contains the next step of configuration or something. I'm not sure I quite understand what you meant, would you care to explain some more? Many thanks! regards ZHU Jia Ming Fai schrieb: > > Actually, i can't get your exact meaning.
