Re: [Springframework-developer] Spring Portlet MVC layer is rendering JSTL Views!!!

[William G. T. Jr. <wg...@ru...>]

Folks,

I have packaged up a Portlet Application that may be of interest.  The 
war file is available at:
   http://www.tnt-web.com/springportlet/springportlet.war

You should be able to download the war file and then deploy using the 
tools for whatever portlet container you are using.  I'm running this 
with uPortal2.3 which embeds Pluto.


There are two portlets defined in WEB-INF/portlet.xml

1) InspectPortlet - a "fat" portlet that displays various bits of info 
available through the Portlet API (built using only GenericPortlet)

2) ExampleSpringPortlet - proof-of-concept portlet built using Spring 
MVC layer adapted for the Portlet API.  The portlet name maps to a 
DispatcherPortlet which bootstraps:
   a) applicationContext.xml - the root PortletApplicationContext
   b) ExampleSpringPortlet-portlet.xml - config for the named 
DispatcherPortlet (handler mappings, view resolvers, controllers, etc.)

As configured, ExampleSpringPortlet simply maps PortletModes to view 
names and finally dispatches to JSPs:
   WEB-INF/jsp/portlet/view.jsp
   WEB-INF/jsp/portlet/edit.jsp
   WEB-INF/jsp/portlet/help.jsp

The Portlet API defines a tag-lib as well and I use that to generate the 
RenderURLs you will see in the views.

later.

ps.  If you are using uPortal2.3 here are the deploy steps:
1) ant deployPortletApp -DportletApp=/path/to/springportlet.war
2) bounce tomcat
3) using the Channel Manager define two new Portlet Channels.  The 
portlet Ids are:
   springportlet.InspectPortlet
   springportlet.ExampleSpringPortlet
