WooHoo! i'm looking forward to the PAR proposal!
Ingo, on portlet deployment...
i've noticed that if i put portlets in a jar file in the WEB-INF/lib
directory they
automagically get set in the classpath and all i need do is then define
them in the
WEB-INF/conf/jetspeed-config.jcfg file to get them running. further more
i've utilized
the existing WEB-INF/xsl directory for any xsl resources and used the web
servers
document root for any other resources. is this a _bad_ idea? it seemed a
bit
distributed, but that's how the sample portlets were laid out whether by
design or
default.
ttfn
--ron. ;-)

A proposal for PARs should be out by next week. The magic is in the
deployment descriptor...
Cheers,

You can't simply put a jar file somewhere and expect your portlet to run.
What you need to do is:
* Make the portlet's classfiles available in the classpath,
* Make the portlet's resources (images, etc) accessible somewhere below the
webserver's dorument root, and
* Register the portlet in the portlet registry
(WEB-INF/con/jetspeed-config.jcfg).
The portal needs to be restarted to read the changes in the portlet
registry - that's nasty.
I put portlet code in a directory below WEB-INF
(ROOT/WEB-INF/portlets/MyPortlet.jar) and its resources in a directory
right below the document root (ROOT/portlet_resources/MyPortley/*).
Where we need to get to is to have an packaging/installation mechanism like
WARs (in our case PARs), that can be installed automatically and at
run-time.
But that's still to solve and implement.
