Maybe I am missing something, but a portlet should not be concerned with
things like a profiler service. Instead the profiler service determines
which and how a portlet is called. Again, I may be missing something, but
that's how I see it and that's why there isn't anything like that shining
through in the API.
A general service API has been left out of the most recent API because there
needs to be more information on the type of services we are talking about.
Generally, I think the services approach is futile in the Portal API,
because the whole purpose of a well-defined API is that a portlet can run on
any portlet container implementing that API. Services not known at
compile-time seem to defeat that purpose.
WRT, User and UserProfile -- that's a "bug" - it should be "User" only. An
update will be posted soon (there are a few other things that were reported
to me).
I still take comments and feedback. Is there no more interest in a new API
or is everyone busy doing other things?

Chris,
Yes, the profiler does support groups, but the security isn't implemented.
So you could take the JetspeedProfilerService and extend with security.
I will be doing just that, but first Im more concerned with how profiling
services will work with the portlet api.
I've seen that the portlet API has a User and ProfileUser object, but its
not apparent if a 'profiling service' is even defined as a standard service.
Thomas, could you explain how profiling services plug into the Portlet API?
Sorry but its not apparent to me...
Thanks,
David
