I use Jetspeed and Struts together all the time. I think both are inclrdible solutions, there is no problem in using both together. as for speed, my jetspeed implementations fly, you just need to be smart enough to configure our servers properly

We use Struts in our current portal technology but I like the looks of Jetspeed.

This is using JSTL, not Velocity, but same concept, Struts supports Velocity. Master detail processing is done all the time, and several working samples are in there: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/basicportal/bPproj/bP/WEB-INF /portlets/newsBlg/NewsBlgCmntsLst.jsp Note that it using the core master tag and then iterating a list. This is usnig nested beans. I think that is the key conecpt I recommend, nest beans and then use dot notation to get to each of the 3 iterating collections/beans. So you can have one bean, that nests your 3 beans. You can download and look at sample (or CVS source). Here is an example of how to click in, and get detail: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/basicportal/bPproj/bP/WEB-INF /portlets/cms/ContentAdminLst.jsp KISS, .V ps: And here is a navigation, but I do not think you asked for that: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/basicportal/bPproj/bP/WEB-INF /config/navigation.xml "D.S.
