JBoss Portlet Container 2.0 GA Released
The JBoss Portal team has announced the release of JBoss Portlet Container 2.0 product.
This release is a compatible implementation of the Portlet 2 specification. JBoss portlet container 2.0 comes with a JSP tags based portal and bundled with some demonstration portlets.
According to a press release this lightweight portal aims to provide developers with an easy way to showcase and test their portlet applications. It should work well with other JSP taglibs and templating frameworks. The next release of JBoss Portal 2.7 will bundle the JBoss Portlet Container.
It provides following functionalities:
· Administration application that provides an overview of the deployed applications/portlets/filters and management of their life cycle.
· Event debugger that should prove very useful to understand complex event interactions.
· Event flood detection to prevent events from running wild.
· Management of life cycle dependencies between portlet filters and portlet container.
· Optimized event payload marshalling: when an event with an object payload is fired from application A to application B, the event will be unmarshalled/marshalled between the two applications classloaders unless the event class is shared at the server level, in which case the event can be safely transported across application borders.
