[Springframework-developer] old dependencies on spring portlet in webflow

[Tim K. <tim...@vi...>]

 

This really addresses two issues I'm having w/ spring portlet development.
I am attempting to use spring webflow /w the portlets, and the PR3 release
of webflow apparently includes references to older versions of portlet code
(that exist in the spring sandbox) - and the latest version of
spring-portlets as released by john lewis includes significantly updated
code, and when attempting to include all those jars in the portlet
environment, theres all sorts of classloader issues w/ different versions of
DispatchPortlet and PortletController lying around.  I've been trying to
rebuild parts to get them all to talk to each other, but it's been a big
time-sink.

 

I see the best solution being that John being allowed to merge his portlet
code in the cvs - so that webflow can be coded against the proper classes
and those classes being dropped from webflow-support.  I know that this has
been under discussion lately to start with 1.3 development, and I'm hoping
with the release of 1.2.2 complete, that things can move in that direction.
