Re: [uportal-dev] WSRP producer and consumer de-scoped from uPortal 3

[Eric Dalquist]

I do get the feeling that we're finally getting to the point where there are some actual WSRP producers that people want to use out there. The hard part from uPortal's point of view is there is no good open-source WSRP consumer or producer and we don't have the resources to write our own right now. The consumer that is being used in 2.6 is directly tied to Pluto 1.0 which prevents us from using it in 3.0 since we've moved to Pluto 1.1 in preparation for JSR-286. I know some work has been done on the WSRP4J project recently so perhaps some interested parties could re-visit that code and see if they can get a truly JSR-168 compliant WSRP consumer portlet working that we could include in a uPortal 3 release.

Thomas,

WSRP production and even consumption support has been de-scoped from the
initial uPortal 3 release.

I'd be very interested in hearing exactly what you're looking to
accomplish with WSRP in uPortal 3.  A problem with WSRP support in
uPortal is that significant effort has historically been poured into
this for very little real value.  uPortal 3 will almost certainly
initially ship without WSRP support.  There's no reason this support
cannot be soon added post-3.0 if there's real interest and effort or
resources applied to make it happen.  But for that to happen, it's going
to have to stop being a buzzword the project chases and start being
something of real value to production uPortal deployers.

I think this becomes a chicken and egg sort of proposal. We can't play with using WSRP if uPortal doesn't support it. Some of our long term plans involve using WSRP to consume PeopleSoft Student Administration modules from within uPortal. Our problem to date has been getting PeopleTools environment up the most current version that allows it to produce WSRP. WSRP was working (at least in our initial, non-in-depth review of it) in previous versions of uPortal. We might have revisit those plans for the coming year now. I do understand about priorities for the core team though, and fully appreciate WSRP being so much buzz for at least two years now. We sure thought we'd be using it way before now.
