I believe the current version of jetspeed expects the output
of the portlet to be ECS elements. You can write a small sample
program to use JDBC and then build an ECS screen. I remember
seeing that you could generate JSP using ECS- but I haven't
tested this yet.
Another approach is to have your servlet standalone and run it in
the same tomcat environment. You can mount your servlet under a
relative URL and then use the HTML instance of the
FileServerPortlet.
For development- another option is to put your JDBC calls
in a basic JSP and run it from:
$(TOMCAT_HOME)webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/templates/jsp/screens
It will not be a portlet- but is a quick way
to debug JSPs within the jetspeed environment.
For database calls- I found that the Village APIS worked well.
The village jar file is included along with Jetspeed.
For more advanced apps- you can use the Turbine peer model
and generate your classes with torque.
