Thomas, The Jetspeed code that is bundled with WPS should be available in source form correct? I understand that the com.ibm packages are proprietary and I have no interest in the source for these, however, the org.apache packages all should have source available if I understand the Apache license.
Can you shed some light on the IBM position on this? Thanks, David BTW: We are a premiere level IBM partner, intent on doing about 25% of our business in 2002 in providing WPS integration and customization services, no foe, just a friend with questions... -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Schaeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 3:05 AM To: Jetspeed Users List Subject: RE: IBM WPS: What version of Jetspeed does it use? WebSphere Portal Server defines APIs (Portlet API and SPIs) so that customers should not need the source of the WPS product. Only the documented APIs should be used to avoid dependencies of customer project code to the codebase of a particular release of WebSphere Portal Server. Our goal is to standardize the Portlet API so that JetSpeed, WPS, and other portals will have the same Portlet API. This does of course not mean that the different portals will have a similar implementations; while there may be common code in the portlet container part, the portal code including page aggregation, authentication, authorization, user management, administration, personalizatio code etc is different in all these portals. The WPS source code is not publicly available.

David: There is a WPS newsgroup available from IBM. There is no associated mailing list. As for PMRs, in general these are the method for addressing defect issues with the product. Severity 1 PMRs have a short response time. Make sure you open them with the appropriate severity. Since WPS itself is not open source, the support structure for the product will be inline with corporate software support services, for both good and bad.
