I‘ve been at my new job for a little over a month and have been primarily working on a Web Service for one of our apps using CXF. I‘ve also been doing a fair amount of wireframing for adding some new features to another app that will have an iGoogle-type layout mechanism (i.e. – portals done the right way IMO).
Today we went over the portal stuff and I will be adding this functionality into our app using Tapestry 4 and each portlet will be its own component. The portal capabilities will probably be delivered using Xilinus' Portal. This looks fairly complete but I‘ll be doing some more research today to make sure this is what we want to go with.
I have a few questions for other Tapestry devs out there on this:
Has anyone already integrated this?
How are you capturing the links so that it saves data? (I‘m looking at doing Ajax calls on moves, etc to automatically save the data)
If you have done this did you create each portlet as its own Tapestry component with another component that held the portlets?
Thanks! I‘ll keep people posted on my progress. If we get this integrated I‘ll see if we can open up the code (or maybe I can create a basic version that I can Open Source).
