Andres,

Having worked with Portal Servers for many years... I have to say that in "theory" Portal servers are great. In "practice" there are A LOT of issues with them. The 2 biggest problems offhand are:

1) the fact that they ADD an entirely different layer on top of your "web container" being the "portlet container" and make simple web development a little more like rocket science (as if it isn't hard enough as it is at times). For this the "iFrame" is a classic solution. Yes - not what you might expect but heavily utilized in the Portal / Portlet space.

2) due to 1) they have a voracious appetite for CPU and memory... and as such have a litter of many failed projects... . And I don't mean small customers... I mean VERY large customers in the USA and Canada who give up on either a) buying all the extra hardware OR b) buying all the extra licenses for their app servers. I have had clients ask me with my enterprise box with X CPU's that should be enough... NO?... why the performance issues?... double the CPU and the #boxes if you can was my answer and you still will probably have scalability issues... they did and it didn't help :-)

Portals were supposed to be the end all to "Enterprise" and aggregate the hundreds / thousands of local systems on an Intranet... instead they have met largely with failure on a grand scale and what I most often see are companies going back to building large web apps after they have experienced the Portal world.

So it isn't surprising that Stripes lacks integration... and it isn't surprising that Spring MVC does... or whatever... what is surprising for me personally is to see people still trying to build or maintain sites around them ;-)

I recommend to you Spring MVC, they have a Portlet version and is similar but
not equal and not so good to Stripes. But you, probably, will have less problems
rewriting your application in Spring MVC that rewriting Stripes itself. A
Complete Stripes portlet version will be cool but both portlets seem to be a
little dead
Spanish

Te recomiendo que uses Spring MVC, ellos tiene una versión para Portlets pero no
es igual y no es tan bueno como Stripes. Pero tú, probablemente, tendrás menos
problemas reescribiendo tu aplicación en Spring MVC que reescribiendo Stripes.
Una versión completa de Stripes para portlets sería chévere pero los portlets se
ven un poco muertos
