You could add an additionnal option: roll your own framework but contribute it in bridges rather than directly in pluto so that it gets more exposure as a stand-alone framework (and also decouple the container from the framework). >> I'd rather not add any other complexity to the mix including >> portals-bridges. >> Bridges does not really add complexity since it releases individual bridge artefacts and not a complete heavyweight binary so you could simply use a struts-bridge if that's waht you aim for or roll you own there and depend only on your framework. I'm aware that Christophe in Graffito is also working on his own portlet framework... better to have everyone sharing his thoughts on bridges and shows his ideas rather that having several "private" frameworks hidden in every portals subproject. >> Zheng is welcome to take over control of the portlet admin app for >> Pluto 1.1.
