[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: JBoss Portal 2.0 and Oracle ADF Faces

[sven.schulz <nu...@jb...>]

Standards are important and adhering to them should be mandatory. However reality itself has some normative power. As of my knowledge several Portal implementors (GridSphere, Websphere) go the dirty way and make their PortalRequest classes implement HttpServletRequest. The same is true for third party libraries like MyFaces or ADF Faces. Their developers seem to rely on the castability of the PortalRequest.

I am not happy with this, but having to abandon a great JSF component implementation or a great Portal Server because they aren't interoperable would be a tragedy.

The guys at ADF Faces didn't respond to my inquiry. Since ADF is closed source there is no chance to adapt their implementation to make it work with JBoss.

If there is any chance of you adapting the JBoss implementation, let me know. If not, we think of making the changes by ourselves. This is clearly an interim solution, but an option in our eyes. If you are aware of any issues or pitfalls with doing that, please, let us know.

Regards,
Sven
