CSS with TwoColumnLayout
Hello again - We are using the jetspeed-layout:VelocityTwoColumns layout successfully with JSPs on J2 M2. We have a CSS which defines styles for heading titles, etc. Can someone tell me where the CSS should be specified, given the HTML HEAD, BODY, etc. restrictions? Tried putting it in the JSP but that did not work. Should it go in a layout or decorator definition somewhere? Sample code would be much appreciated; not a Velocity guru... - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2 quick J2 Config Q's
2 more J2 configuration questions (fast and easy, I promise!) 1. Is the jetspeed.xml file still used? It defines the security realm and JDBC connection parms 2. What is the mechanism used to point to the PSML file? Can I assume that I just modify default.psml and all is well? Just don't have the time to figure out this stuff, my design doc is already 60 pages!

Re: J2 Configuration
Thanks David - that clears up a lot of questions! Could you tell me which items are still being configured via the jetspeed.properties? Mike R. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Could you tell me which items are still being configured via the jetspeed.properties? thats a documentation task in itself and im sure it will lead to more questions these are still used: * log4j properties location * default pipeline * autodeployment substitution * jndi flag * supported portletmodes, windowsstates * navigation state prefix * location of assembly directory for Spring David - I really appreciate your timely responses to these questions. Due to very tight timelines on our project, your feedback is extremely valuable. I think I'm very close to knowing all the configuration items I need to accomplish our goals. If you like, I can send you my configuration document when completed; maybe you can reuse some sections when you document the official release.

J2 Configuration
I am documenting the Jetspeed 2.0 configuration (as documentation is sparse...) Can anyone give me a quick overview of the config files currently in use for JetSpeed 2.0? For example, I have the following questions after having investigated the config, starting from the web.xml: 1. The web.xml references jetspeed-configuration.xml. Is this the location of a XML config database that will be created? Or is this a leftover config item that is no longer being used? I see no jetspeed-configuration.xml in either the binary or source distributions. 2. In the jetspeed.properties file, there is an entry: deployment.descriptor.mapping.xml= /WEB-INF/conf/portletdefinitionmapping.xml The portletdefinitionmapping.xml only appears in the archives castor directory; is it obsolete?

Re: A new window without decorations
There's thread on this; check out posts from last weekend with PSML no Frames at the end of the subject. \MR - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Documentation! PSML - No frames
We are targetting JetSpeed 2.0 for a prototype; I've been frustrated as I have not found much How To documentation to date. I've seen the design docs in the source dist and the comments in the code, which are good, but not the quickest way of learning this beast. Is there any How To type doc other than the incomplete sections on the JetSpeed 2.0 home page? I need to address questions like this: 1. If I wanted my portlets to be transparent to the client, e.g. no frames, no edit, help, minimize and maximize buttons, how would I do that? Does PSML (or maybe the lack of it) provide that functionality? 2. what is the mechanism by which the portal container does initial rendering of its targetted portlets when your portal page first starts up? Does the container call the render methods of the contained portlets after initialization? I don't think the JSR 168 spec addresses this. I could hunt around for a while and figure this out, but if someone could point me to the right place it would be a big time saver.

Re: What is the Status of Jetspeed 2 ??
Raphaël Luta wrote: Hampton, Thomas wrote: I'm currently using Jetspeed 1.5 and I would like to upgrade to Jetspeed 2 as soon as it is reasonable to do so. But I can't tell from the Jetspeed 2 website what the current status is. Is Jetspeed 2 released ? When will it be released ? Jetspeed 2 has a M1 release available, with a M2 release soon. Is the 'M1' release a production release or is it Alfa or Beta ? Formally, it's an alpha release because M1 is not feature complete compared to the target feature list of J2 and some of the design of J2 may be changed until we reach a 1.0 status. (for example, there's a huge effort underway to streamline the auto-deployment code). Now, even in its current status, J2 is very useable for development work if you want a pure, lean and mean, portal server. If what you need is just JSR168 support in a full-featured stable portal, consider using Jetspeed 1 with Fusion. Currently, you'll need to get the current CVS for this since Jetspeed 1.6 is not out yet (should be formally released soon). Raphaël - hoping you can help out here - which version would you recommend for a project with the following requirements? - JSR 168 compliance - minimal inter portlet communication (most like done via PortletSession) - basic rendering requirements; using RequestDispatcher to JSPs with embedded XSLT - needs to be robust, being used in a demo in 1 month.

Using JSPs to render portal content
Hi all, I have a portal based on Jetspeed 1.4b4, and my customer wants to use JSPs to render the content of the portal instead of using velocity. I am basically using the velocity context object as is and adding it to the request so that I can pull it out on the JSP pages and then pull what it contains to do the logic on each page. All is well in that regard, however I see some strange behavior whenever I get to anything that calls Portlet.getContent(). All of our pages use panes to organize the content, but the pages seem to be rendering upside down, where the portlets are on top, then the tab sets in reverse order. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Any thoughts on where I might start to look for what's going on? It would seem to me that if a JSP page were rendering, the part above the call to getContent() would show up on the screen, then the getContent method would execute, then the stuff on the JSP after the call would show up on the screen, but this is not happening at all. Any help or points in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks! -Mike - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Persistence plugin
Hi all, I have been extremely impressed with Jetspeed's malleability so far. It seems that every modification is very easy to implement, but now I am stumped, so here goes: I have set up Jetspeed to use an Oracle database, and everything seems to be working. However, I would like to get away from using a blob to store the psml. I know that Jetspeed 2 will use a persistence plugin to allow this, but I also read on the dev list that the persistence plugin can be used in a Jetspeed 1 project, because it can be a standalone thing. Is there a list of things that need to be changed to implement this? If so, where? I originally thought that a re-write of DatabasePsmlManagerService would be necessary, but this has me hoping otherwise. I have a need to implement this before the end of the year, and I will want to migrate to Jetspeed 2 when it is ready, so I would like to make the transition as painless as possible. I figured this would accomplish both goals, if it is possible. Any hints or guidance or points in the right direction would be helpful.
