Hello,
Note :
======
I am NOT a "real" developer, I'm a special kind of user so what follow can probably
seem very simplistic, and very stupid, but reading the list's messages it seem that
I'm not, by far the only one in this situation.
1 About JetSpeed Install
========================
Like a lot of people, I found Jetspeed install a real mess (probably mainly because of
a lack of knowledge more than anything else)especially under NT.
I just tried Jakarta Sub-project "Struts" (a Model 2 JSP framework) and I am VERY
impressed by the install procedure.
Its a three steps one :
1) place the war file in Tomcat "webapps" directory
2) Add two SUN's parsers to the Classpath (jaxp.jar and parser.jar)
3) fire Tomcat
4).. there is no number 4, the app is up and running
No properties file to set up, no wondering "is this a complete path or a relative one
that I must set up.. and relative to what ??" or "well I'm under NT do I need to use a
slash before the disk's letter ?".. nothing, all paths included in the war file are
relative to the directory.. a
real dream.
I'd love to have such a war pakage for Jetspeed
2 About JetSpeed usage
=======================
As it is presented, JetSpeed seems devoted to setup a public external portal that
aggregates various external contents.
It is a great thing, but I'm looking for the same kind of stuff allowing me to
aggregate internal content, coming from various sources, text files, databases etc..
In fact I'm setting up some kind of pilot for a corporate intranet stuff (in my case
HR oriented), and what I'm looking for is some kind of "boxes holder".
By "box holder" I mean a software that would ne able to display boxes, and manage user
registration. Each box been filed with content coming from internal application.
Using servlet and/or JSP I'm perfectly able to develop each box as a complete page, I
just would like something that could allow me to put several boxes in the same page (I
know, its exactly what a portal is,.. but..) and manage some user registration and
preferences.
So I suppose the answer to my problem is somehow : Of course, Jetspeed can do this,
its even somehow what it is intended for , hassole !!!
The answer to this answer is : OK it can do this.. but how ???
All the doc (few in fact) I've found about JetSpeed seems to be based on the situation
where I'd reinvent Yahoo... I don't.
To be short my question could be said like that : can Jetspeed be used like a
opensource version of software like Epicentric, and if the answer is yes, where could
I found the required docuementation ?
Thanks in advance
Luc
