This question about integrating Struts and Jetspeed was of some interest to me too.
I subscribed to the jetspeed user ml and it looks like there is some activity (20-40 messages a day), although typical questions involve stuff like connecting to a db, ldap sources and so on, no really development/feature requests questions. Do you think that using the portal features of tiles could help in developing a portal application based on Struts? Right now (after knowing of jetspeed's death) it looks to me as a (the only?) good choice. umberto On Tue, 2002-11-05 at 04:13, James Higginbotham wrote: > Thanks for the info.. > > >You should probably check out the BasicPortal project at > ><http://basicportal.sourceforge.net/>; it's based on Struts and > >organized by some pretty active members of the struts-user community. > >It doesn't use OJB as far as I know. > > Will do... > > >As for Jetspeed being dead...
