Mainly semantic. I view the Jetspeed system as using 3 kinds of non-engine
related components :
- viewers: basically takes a datasource and a set of parameters and produce
output an output from this. RSSPortlet is a typical case.
- datasources: these are data used to build the content, they must be uniquely
referenced by an URL and may be defined externally (from a content feed
for example). The FeeddDaemon currently builds a list of datasources (
except that it's implemented as portlets definition in the registry)
- producers: these components may be used to produce content based on
a URL and request parameters. (typical producers would be HttpProducer
to fetch URLs from the web, FileProducer to monitor local disk files,
MailProducer...)
The output of a producer is a datasource which can be displayed by a viewer.
Actions on the viewer can trigger updates on a datasource by notifying the
producer.
This *is* a kind of MVC (viewer=view, model = datasource,
producer = controller).
User PSML should only deal with the View part of this model, hence the
<view..> element.
