There are some older documentation at http://boss.bekk.no/boss/portletwork/architecture.html and http://boss.bekk.no/boss/portletwork/explained.html that explains some of the key concepts. Some of the stuff is outdated, but the core functionality is the same.
The Ajax limitations are basically generic javascript problems that has not yet been resolved. In a portlet, every script should be encoded in the namespace of the portlet, to avoid duplication of script method names. So if you have several portlets on a page that uses Ajax, you might encounter problems. But basically, you should be able to build your portlet as a regular s2 app. Nils-H On 3/14/07, tom tom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thank you, Any documentation around on this topic, Struts 2.0.6 portlets development.? (best practices etc). And things to be aware of? I would like to know things like for e.g? If I want a session variable should I put it to the HttpSession or Portlet session. What we really want is forget the application as a portlet and leverage the existing Struts Application development knowledge and at the same time be aware of the limitations. Let us know what are the AJAX limitations on the struts 2.0.6 portlets Thanks. --- Nils-Helge Garli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A couple of things you should be aware of is: > > - You cannot use result types that require full > control of the > response object (e.g. rendering PDFs, images, charts > etc).
