Good question, I think someone else has done some similar thinking already:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/jsr168_struts.jsp I haven't used this, nor can I vouch for it. I just remembered seeing it listed on a web page. -----Original Message----- From: Mete Kural [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 4:23 AM To: Struts Developers List Subject: Struts for Portlets Hello Struts developers, I wanted to get your opinions on how Struts should be used as a portlet framework. I think that it would be great if a portlet framework was part of the standard Struts distribution in the near future. JSR-168 which defines standard portlets will be finalized pretty soon (a month?), although the specification draft is pretty much stable hereafter. I have two main questions: 1) My first question is technical. How do you think portlet support would be best added to Struts? Which classes should be extended? Are there necessary changes at the core classes of Struts in order to provide an efficient framework for building portlets? 2) Second question is about how a Struts-based or Struts-like portlet framework should be distributed. Should it be part of the core Struts distribution? Should there be two different Struts distributions within the Struts project: "Struts for Webapps" and "Struts for Portlets"? Or should it be a seperate Jakarta project? I look forward to hearing your opinions. Thank you very much.
