Can you describe why you want to use JSF?

Hello,
I am the project manager for the "ESUP Mobile Project", working at
Anyware-Services.
We started the development last week. Our first portlet is a portlet to
display messages (email from an IMAP server that is under CAS).
Note that most of the ESUP portlet are using JSF (which is a real
difficulty to use the taglib WNG from Wurfl with JSF). Also the goal is
to have a multi-channel portlet (available to display data on mobile and
desktop).
Our strategy is:
1- to develop a web portlet with a default and simple skin (based on JSF)
2- build a filter (tomcat filter) based on WURFL to detect if the user
is using a mobile or a desktop browser
3- make a mechanism to choose the JSP depending of the detection (mobile
to use WNG taglib - from WURFL - or desktop to use classic JSF taglib)
4- modify the WNG taglib to work in an JSF environment.
The last step may failed or may be too hard or too complicate to
maintain. In this case we will reduce our constraints and we will use
another taglib to render data to mobile. We already think about
Trinidad. If you have suggestion I am open to them. We'd like to avoid
framework or library that are only webkit compatible, because we'd like
to support many mobile browsers and not only iphone and smartphone. It
is a wish that can be reduce depending on the complexity and the
maintainability.
Why WURFL, because it is THE taglib known by most of the mobile
developers that want a real compatibility with most of the mobiles.
We are currently at step 2. We made the step 1 with some small doubt on
step 1 because of the CAS environment, we do not have an IMAP that
support CAS here.
Do you have suggestions?
Do you have others informations?
Do not hesitate to contact me in order to have more information or to
share some knowledge.
Then we will have some others portlet to enhance or to develop
(Calendar, Directory based on LDAP, news, ...)
Let me know if you prefer another discussion channel than this one.
Sincerely,
Frédéric Ravetier

I recently had a conversation with Alain Mayeur, director of ESUP
Portail, the nation-wide consortium of French universities that have
developed a "Digital Work Space" based on uPortal, CAS, and a host of
other open source applications that they have developed or integrated.
Alain told me about two projects currently underway that are of
interest to Jasig.
The first one is the ESUP Mobile Project. With several participating
universities, this project is working to coordinate the development of
mobile services supported by the mobile framework in uPortal 3.2. The
wiki page for the project (in French) is located at
http://www.esup-portail.org/display/PROJESUPMOBILE/Projet+ESUP+Mobile.
A second project, also the result of a collaboration among several
organizations, is designed to enhance the content management
capabilities of uPortal.
Alain will ask the project leads to send us more information about
these initiatives. I am hoping there might be some areas in which
Jasig developers would be able to contribute.
