yes. I start work next week for a new company where I'll be developing a
portal product. I have experience with Spring & Hibernate but have only used
Struts as the MVC. I am currently evaluating Jetspeed and uPortal. uPortal
has a 168-portlet adaptor out now. Jetspeed-2 (based on Pluto) is not ready
yet but they report good progress.

If a Spring PortletDispatcher supported JSR-168 then it seems like it would
work for Jetspeed-2 & uPortal (also LifeRay &eXo). Is this right? What
release of Spring would the PortletDispatcher be in, 1.01 or 1.1?

Several people have previously mentioned portlets and JSF. We are trying to
decide whether to implement portlets in our next project, or just stick to
include files and/or something like Sitemesh, Tiles etc.

Regarding portlets, there is the Pico-based Exo project
(http://exo.sourceforge.net/) and Pluto (http://jakarta.apache.org/pluto/).
Has anyone done any work on integrating portlets, JSF or projects such as
these into Spring? Would anyone be willing and have time to collaborate on
this?

Best regards
Ben
