To me, it looks like > "JSP templating support" lack, am I right or am I just too blind yet? The features available via JSP tag library are a little behind the ones available in Velocity. You will find that Velocity support in Jetspeed is much stronger than JSP support. One of the TODO's is to bring JSP templates in parity with Velocity (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5442). There are other issues however (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11264, for instance). So these problems have definitely been identfied. However, I don't think that the demand for better JSP support has been voiced too strongly. I am a JSP user but, being aware of JSP limitations and shortcoming (within Jetspeed), I chose to use a combination of JSP and Velocity.I have a lot of JSP portlets but I stay away from invoking JSP templates as screens (i.e. /portal/template/mytemplate.jsp). I have been able to do pretty much do everything I need with JSP portlets. You can always add your own tags. And perhaps contribute them too :-) > > 2) How can I find out (from my included JSPPortlet JSP) if there > is somebody logged in ?

Even in Velocity you would have to do it in similar manner (except that rundata is provided as an implicit object - $data). Is the retrieval of rundata what's bothering you? I don't know JSP well enough, but is there a way to create an implicit rundata object such as request or response. > 3) What I want to achieve. I have JSP1 registered with > JSPPortlet.

Do you want to display JSP1 in a portlet initially and when the user submits the form, to replace the content of the same portlet with JSP2? Or do you want to display another portlet (JSP2)? > 5) Now for me as JSP user JetSpeed looks like this: I can write > portlet and put HTML in to it, but this is clumsy, and I don't > like this solution (hard to change the look).

From this time I spend hours by speculating and hacking.. Best regards, Mark C.
