Writing a portlet is easy. Just extend AbstractPortlet, override
getContent(), wrap your content in an ECS element and return it. Thats
about it.
Or
extend one of the existing implementations such as FIleServerPortlet. Look at
the code, its well-written and very easy to understnd.
Make
sure to define your portlet in the portlet registry (portletregistry.psml),
and reference that definition in your portlet markup file i.e.
(default.psml). For another user, reference the portlet definition in the
corresponding portlet markup file i.e. turbine.psml
( I
believe the config files change their names with the latest
builds...)
The
online docs aren't that bad....read them and the Turbine docs. Its important to
understand how Turbine works with Jetspeed.
Ive
written a 29 page (and growing) Developers Guide for Jetspeed 1.2b1. Im not sure
if I should post it out here, it may be uncool with the 'learn by doing' ethic
here.
The
mailing list archives are at http://java.apache.org - but I still
havent figured out how to search the whole archive....

Is there currently any effort to create documentation or update the website? There is a good install guide for tomcat that keeps popping up in the mailing list that would be very good to include on the install page. The website also desperately needs to have a how to guide on how to create and deploy a portlet. I'm willing to help with the install guide, but I still haven't figured out how create and deploy a portlet. ( in particular which non class files are used and where are they located?) I also can't seem to find a link to this mailing list or the archives on the website.Eric
