Scott,
Thanks for the reply!
Things I've been wondering about are Struts compatibility (I think this is
indirect to JetSpeed, though, as I can use the work done in the Velocity
<>
Struts integration), LDAP-based user authentication (listed as a 1.4b3
issue, just wondering if it will carry over to 2.0).
We will definitely support LDAP, however the security model is still in the planning stages. As for Stuts, I hear they (the Struts team) are working on new controller servlets that should "play well" with JSR-168 portals. I have yet to plug a struts app into J2 yet, but it is on the top of my list.
Good to hear this. I am very serious in Struts Request-Response
framework using Commons-Chain. With properly design, the portal
container can also be independent of Tomcat. This will greatly enhance
the use of J2 since the portal is just a web application in any
compliant Servlet container. It is worth the community effort for the
new design.

To clarify your note, although OJB is the default persistence layer, I
could
use any other persistence layer if I needed to.
Sure, you just need to implement a couple of interfaces to act as adapters to the persistence layer of your choice.
What about user roles and how that applies to accessibility as described
for
JetSpeed 1.4? Will that be maintained?
That is still up in the air, it will probably become clearer when we start working on conversion tools/adapters for existing J1 applications.
Likewise for the use of skins a.k.a "branding" - will that still be there?
Most definitely, however in a different fashion than what you are used to current in J1. There will no longer be skin registries and the layouts/themes/skins what have you will be much easier to develop and deploy.
Thanks again,
