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

[J.Enrique R. <er...@di...>]

Given that Spring Web Flow includes the support for the Portlet 
framework and it will be included in Spring core, we believe a good way 
could be to create a Spring Module for Portlet MVC. This module would 
contain all about Portlets, including Spring Webflow Portlet support.

Juergen, Keith, Erwin et al what do you think?
