Hello again,Im interested.
With JSR-168 nearing the public draft stage, I was wondering if there is interest among the JetSpeed community to cooperate together with the Struts community in order to design and implement a library of standard classes that make it possible to build JSR-168 portlets based on Struts. Some ideas that I have are:
- Designing and implementing an ActionPortlet class that implements the JSR-168 Portlet interface and extends ActionServlet
- Designing and implementing a PortletRequestProcessor that provides an event handling model and adapts Struts applications to portlet applications
I'm not an expert in the portlet field but I am just another fellow who would really love to see a standard library of classes for converting Struts applications into JSR-168 portlets that everybody can use instead of rolling their own. I hope JetSpeed experts and Struts experts will get interested in such a project. What do you guys think?
Thanks, Mete

I actually tried this a few months ago, wrote my own PortletRequestProcessor and concluded that its the wrong place to integrate Struts.
Struts is not meant to be a portal server, and it was leading to a conformist style design.
However I think we could support Struts portlets as a special type of portlet application, as a portlet container
Are you familiar with what a portlet application is?
I think it would be best to move this discussion to jetspeed-dev, so that other developers could be involved
