Re: Portlets

["Colin Williams" <colin.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I see that you mention jetspeed briefly in your article.

I believe that the Websphere Portal offerings are based on Jetspeed
(Jakarta - Open Source).

I have previously tried to get Jetspeed running under tomcat 3.2.4 on the
Iseries and failed.

I recently gave it another go, installing Jetspeed into Websphere Express,
and hey presto, works like a charm, and with no errors.

Just installed straight from the Jetspeed war file, no modifications to
classpaths or anything.
(Havent had time to do anything more than Hello World and play with some of
the settings yet though).

So this is another option if people want to have  go at portlets on the
iseries

cheers
Colin.W
