It is not really a choice, we have to use it because most of the
existing portlets used by the ESUP community are based on JSF. And
because we will have to enhance some of them to add the mobile view
we have to do with it. In this way the people working on this
community will be able to follow our guideline to enhance them
portlets. Obviously if it is a big problem to add mobile view we
will have to suggest them something else.
Otherwise we would have choice something else because it is not our
favorite Framework.
Why this question?

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.
-Jonathan
