Im working on now that now, hopefully I can get it checked in by the end of the week. Had a minor setback, decided to use Torque + Cloudscape in my web service implementation to store preferences in the web service. Its mostly worked out, except for inserts still don't work. If anyone has experience writing Torque db impls I'd appreciate a little help... > Similar examples would include MyFavoriteWebLinks or I wrote a bookmark portlet a while back for a client, still need to decouple it from their specific code. Don't want to bother with it until the new portlet api comes out (its going to be the old portlet api at this rate ;-) > Do each of these require that a custom portlet be written? > Should I be > using the Jetspeed Persistence Service?

JetspeedPersistenceService stores back to the PSML file. In the case of the StockQuotePortlet, I chose to store everything back to the web service. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 3:39 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Writing Portlets that support "User Preferences" > > > I have been searching through the documentation and mailing > lists and I > can't seem to figure out how to do a portlet that a user can > customize.
