Can you point me to a how-to doc so I can get a feel
for what JSR-168 has to offer?
There's a link to download a PDF containing a few
sample chapters from a book on developing JSR-168
portlets within the following article...
http://www.theserverside.com/articles/article.tss?l=BuildingPortals
...and the source code included in this book can be
downloaded from...

PROPOSAL/SUGGESTION
I was a big fan of the component software model
advocated by a technology called OpenDoc developed
by Apple, IBM, and Novell back in the mid 90's...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDoc
Ironically, Steve Jobs killed off this technology
because the thought was that Java Beans would be a
better solution. This has not happened...yet. This
is probably because Sun did a lousy job of
evangelizing the potential of technologies like
the
"bean box" and others in the "Glasgow" suite of
Java Bean technologies.
When I started doing web development I naturally
started looking for a similar software model and
framework that I could apply to this space. I
believe my wait is finally over and the answer is
portlets...
http://portals.apache.org/
Think of a portal as simply a collection of
compound documents made up of portlets and I think
you will see how I got here from there.
Even though this technology is in its infancy, I
believe that there has already been some movement
in the Struts community to provide support for
JSR-168 an upcoming release. I will be doing all
that I can to ensure that this effort is
successful. Before anyone starts a new Struts
branch, before doing so I urge them to evaluate
supporting the development of standardized Struts
portlets.
In regards to establishing an IDE for this
technology, I would think that a portal for
developing, or simply assembing, portlets would be
a natural solution.
