My reply was somewhat of a loaded question, so I'm interested in Sven's answer, but the idea behind a JSR-168 portlet assumes using certain other tools like JSP that we simply don't use in OFBiz for very good reasons.

I won't take the position that JSR-168/268 is not applicable to OFBiz, but if we were to do anything with it we would need some specific things to go after, like:

1. how (in detail) would OFBiz users benefit from JSR-168/268 support? for example, what would they be able to do that they could not otherwise?

2. how would the JSR-168/268 specifications be implemented in OFBiz and used internally in the project? or would they?

3. for cases of redundant technologies, what would we recommend to developers as best practices for selecting between the different technologies?

No, it is not.
I am pretty sure there was some discussion on that, but because this
implementation tightly integrated with the ofbiz framework is was agreed
we would not do this.

Sounds very nice. I asked once before but never got a response, is MyPortal
following the Java Portlet spec?

I will merge right away!

Thanks to Bruno's portal functions we have now a finished component
"MyPortal" which contains all the functions of the MyPage component and the portal functions added. "MyPage has been taken off the main menu"

The user is presented with a number of system pages and portlets which
can be completely changed by the user itself using thje preferences
button on the right hand side of the application menu.

The MyPortal component serves currently for 3 groups of users:
1. users not linked to any security group (just registered users via the
myportal registration option)
2. users linked to the MYPORTAL_EMPLOYEE security group such as the
login DemoEmployee or the user admin (password=ofbiz)
3. users linked to the MYPORTAL_CUSTOMER security group such as the
login DemoCustomer (password=ofbiz)

To add any other groups is relatively easy. examples are in the
MyPortalTypeData.xml file.

The next tasks will be to move all portlets in the myportal component
back to the orginal component and add new portlets.

Any comments, requests or faults found, please raise a Jira issue.
