[opencms-dev] Portal integration (portlet version?) - 2nd part

[David Valls roure]

Hi List,

last week i asked for the 'best' way to integrate web 2.0 functions in  
an OpenCMS site. Now, bosses and customer have decided: we will  
integrate existing WebSphere Portal 6.1 Installation with OpenCMS.

I've been looking for ready to install portlets that publish OpenCMS  
pages as portlets, but the one i found (opencms portlet at  
sourceforge) don't works as i expected; what i've seen is that  
basically it requests OpenCMS server, reads response and writes all  
tet to PortletOutputStream. Maybe i haven't installed or configured  
correctly; but with portlet code that is what i've seen.

This is not such bad aproach, and in this way, i've developed a  
redirection portlet that executes a request to a server (using commons  
HTTPClient) to handle Http1.1 and cookies, gets all response and  
parses it to an HTML document (using HTML Parser from sourceforge),  
fix all links to follow them using same redirection portlet, and  
embedded resources using a servlet Redirector; finally, it writes  
modified text as text/html.

This way, we can include OpenCMS content in WebSphere Portal, but we  
can't use direct editing feature nor using the administration console  
inside the portal interface. It's not the best option, but we can  
reach major functionality.

There is some portlet (commercial or opensource) that we can use to  
add OpenCMS content to our site, and allowing the user to direct edit  
page content? There is the possibility to do this? how?

Thanks in advice,

David Valls.
