Just on the heels of the GateIn Beta2 release comes a double whammy from the JBoss Portlet Bridge project. We are releasing 2 new versions of both the 1.0 and 2.0 bridge. Now, just to clear up any confusion, the 2.0 bridge does not cover the JSF 2.0
... [More]
spec. We are still in JSF 1.2 land in the portal environment. However, running 2.0 in a portlet is not far away and it should be coming to fruition just as JSF 2.0 technology starts to gain more ground in enterprise development.
First off, I want to thank the community for providing many patches and suggestions to improve the bridge.
I am also extremely happy to announce that the JBoss Portlet Bridge 2.0.0.BETA is now fully integrated with GateIn. All archetypes and examples run by default on GateIn. If you are still running on JBoss Portal, you must build the example apps or archetype based apps with the '-Pjbossportal' profile (i.e. mvn install -Pjbossportal).
New features with the new 2.0.0.BETA release are:
Improved ajax processing (faster load times)PRP - Public render parameter processing in the bridgeSeam exception handling in pages.xmlbetter error handling for JSF and Richfaces portlets (this includes ViewExpiredException)Also fixed some bugs in archetypes to work fully with JBoss Tools (as seen in the video)
PortalIdentity is now built in Seam component
<security:portal-identity method="#{authenticator.authenticate}"></security:portal-identity>
Script Renderer can be enabled by intit parameter in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>org.jboss.portletbridge.WRAP_SCRIPTS</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
This video shows how to deploy a Seam portlet using JBoss Tools to the all new GateIn portal. I also show need-to-know tips for migrating from the 1.0 bridge to 2.0.

While most of time we focus on improving enterprise aspects of JBoss Portal (read JBoss Enterprise Portal), sometimes we work on cool and fun stuff too. On that line, I have created Twitter portlet which has following features: Update your

You can grab the code from http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/qa/prabhat/twitter-portlet . It's built using twitter4j, Richfaces, JBoss Portlet Bridge. But remember, it's just for fun and it is not one of the supported portlet. [Less]

I am extremely happy to announce the first Alpha implementation of the JSR-329 early public draft(2) specification. This is cutting edge code and will definitely change to match future revisions of the spec. If you are willing to live on the edge and
... [More]
help us chase down bugs and report them (hopefully with a patch), then please read on ;)Although in a alpha release, this latest version is fully compatible with the portlet 2.0 environment and allows you to also run the latest versions of Seam and Richfaces in a portlet.For starters, I put together a screen cast which shows how to produce a portlet event in a JSF(Seam) backing bean and how to consume it in another Seam portlet.

JBoss Portal supports integration with various well known SSO frameworks such as CAS, JOSSO and OpenSSO. Basic integration with CAS and JOSSO frameworks is described in Portal reference guide but if you are interested in more advanced configurations
... [More]
, you can look at our new SSO Frameworks Integration Guide.
This guide covers step by step instructions of JBoss Portal and SSO frameworks integration in various setups that are commonly found in software enterprises. Maybe you can find an answer for some of questions that have been plaguing you.
The guide covers these integration scenarios:
Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server on same host (HTTP protocol is used).Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server on same host. Secure communication is used between JBoss Portal agent and SSO framework (HTTPS protocol is used).Integration of SSO server and more JBoss Portal instances deployed on multiple hosts Integration of JBoss Portal, SSO server and sample thirdparty web application.Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server deployed on different hosts. SSO server is configured for authentication against portal database.
Since we are focussed on delivering a high quality portal server, we always try to integrate various scenarios in our automated test suite. We currently have automated most of the scenarios mentioned above using Selenium and Hudson and you can see the test results at http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/view/JBoss%20Portal/job/jboss-portal-2.7-sso-selenium-tests/lastBuild/testReport/(root)/. Please let us know if your setup does not belong to one of these and we will try to include that as well. [Less]

This will (hopefully) be the last release before we go GA and move on to the 286 portlet 2.0 bridge. For now, the most notable enhancements (apart from bug fixes) are the addition of the PortletScope annototation for Seam components and the
... [More]
revised PortalIdentity bridgelet.
We also modified the Seam booking demo to no longer use its provided User database table. The app now uses JBoss Portal Identity through PortalIdentity.
You can check out the new features in this video:
JBoss Portlet Bridge - Lesson 2: Portlet 1.0 Advanced Seam and RichFaces from Wesley Hales on Vimeo.
To show off some new features in the CR2 release, I threw together a simple chat-client and chat-room set of portlets using Richfaces poll and Seam stateful session beans.
This screencast shows how to use the new PortletScope annotation along with the revised SSO/PortalIdentity component.

We have released CR1 for the JBoss Portlet Bridge. Thanks to all who submitted fixes and enhancements. I also created the first of (hopefully) many screen casts that will guide you on how to use and develop with the JBoss Portlet Bridge. In
... [More]
this release:
The RichFaces file upload rich:fileUpload component is working. The component currently only works with the param createTempFiles set to false in your web.xml. Also, you must check for the response type is of type RenderResponse. See the paint() method for an example.
The PortalIdentity bridgelet which provides SSO between your Seam portlet and JBoss Portal is now working with the current Seam 2.1.x Identity model. See here for details.
The PortalResourceBuilder bridgelet received a noteworthy upgrade and now works (should work) in all browsers. This component is for portal pages that contain 2 or more RichFaces components in seperate portlet windows. It namespaces the auto generated RF javascript and loads it only once for each component.
Better docs, scalability upgrades, markup validation fix, and many other bug fixes went into this release. See the release notes for more info.
Screen Cast
Lesson 1: Getting Started With the JBoss Portlet Bridge. Explains how to use the bridge's provided Maven archetypes to do rapid development. Also shows how to get started with a clean install and only requires that Maven 2.0.9 be installed on your machine.

Well, to be more truthful a prototype is working on AS5 :) This is more than just a simple update to get Portal running on top of AS5, we are working to take advantage of the JBoss Microcontainer. The biggest change so far is with
... [More]
deployment. Portlets are now being deployed with a special portal deployer which facilitates the deployment with Portal runtime (formally the jboss-portal.sar). The runtime's structure has even changed from a nested deployment inside the sar to individual deployments.
For everybody out there who can't wait to give this a try, see http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13435. There might be a few issues remaining, so please bring them up in the user forum or open a bug.
Stay tuned, more updates to come as we move closer to a release. [Less]
