Re: [Springframework-developer] Portlet MVC - Status?

[<co...@gm...>]

Hi,

It seems the Portlet SWF support and the Portlet MVC support have 
different evolution paths, as they are being used by different people.

One solution could be to extract the minimal common part needed by the 
Portlet SWF and MVC support (called, for example, the Portlet MVC Core) 
which is mainly what there is now into the sandbox.

This core would be easier to maintain, and the Portlet SWF support could 
be independent of the Portlet MVC support (and vice versa).
