[Springframework-developer] Spring PortletMVC Refactored - New spring-example-portlet.war

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

Folks,

A new, improved and refactored Spring PortletMVC has been checked into 
the sandbox.  The new approach follows Juergen's architecture suggestions:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/spring/display/JSR168/SpringPortlet+module+design+discussion 

   * simplify the controller infrastructure
   * reuse the servlet view infrastructure by implementing a "bridge" 
servlet - ViewRendererServlet

You can build the sandbox jar on the HEAD or try out the new 
spring-example-portlet.war at http://www.tnt-web.com/springportlet/

The simple-example-portlet again simply maps portlet modes to 
WEB-INF/jsp/portlet/{MODE}.jsp for the view.  However, now we are 
reusing the o.s.web.servlet.View package directly by dispatching to a 
ViewRendererServlet mapped to WEB-INF/servlet/view

Still have a ways to go...tests, docs, sample-portlet-app, etc.

All feedback gratefully welcome of course...

later.
Bill
