We are doing something similar with our turbine apps and jetspeed. What we
end up with is a portlet that displays the first screen of a turbine
application. Then all links refer to the turbine application an move out of
the portal screen into the turbine app's screens/actions. They still use the
jetspeed layout, page, and navigations though. So to get back to jetspeed's
portal page, you have to click [Home] on the top navigation.
You could also write a jetspeed portlet to interface with the database and get
the main jyve topics. Display them in a portlet, but reference any selection
to go into the jyve application itself. This way the jyve turbine application
may be runnining in a seperate context than turbine. Then you just have to
have a link to get back to jetspeed.
Another way we reference turbine apps within jetspeed is to just give them a
link to the turbine app. Again, the turbine app still uses jetspeed's layout,
page, and navigations. We just have a bunch of RSSPortlets with links to our
turbine apps for example.
FWIW: I did write a TurbineScreenPortlet where you define the screen name to
display, parameters to send to the screen, etc. in the portlet registry for
displaying these first screen turbine applications. Source is on my site
below.
