Wizards in Jetspeed

[Andy Benjamin]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a portlet wizard with a question on each page where a user would answer the question and then hit next or previous buttons to go back and forth through the wizard. I have noticed that I will encounter the following issues which I haven't found the answers to in the mailing lists.

1) I suppose that I will have to use a form on each page to submit the responses from the user. What is the action URL of the form on each page? If I wasn't using jetspeed I probably would just have one boss servlet sit there and process the incoming requests and fire back a jsp with each question with the action of the URL pointing to that boss servlet. Do I treat the portlet java file as the same thing as my servlet?

2) Once the information is submitted, how do I guarantee that only the portlet's small screen area will get repainted in the context of the rest of the portal?

3) How can I store information in the session from within a portlet?

4) Is there some kind of standard next/previous button mechanism that ships with Jetspeed that I could plug into my wizard?

Thanks!!
