Hi,
I put openlayers in a portlet, and then put this portlet into JBoss Portal following the examples at http://developers.sun.com/portalserver/reference/techart/mashups.html
it wasn't that hard. The problem I had was that the portlet processing mechanism is very different from the servlet mechanism, and it is hard (with the exception of openlayers which is essentially a component) to integrate the nice ajax goodness that you get with most web frameworks into portlets. Portals are catching up though, and I see IceFaces and Ajax4JSF getting into the portlet area.
So in summary, if you are looking for a release now IMHO portlets are not going to work, but for in a couple of months then go for it. Portals can be cool for GIS apps.
Currently I ditched portals, and have gone for hibernate and grails which is killer, and I see on the grails road map portlets and I am looking forward to putting this into JBoss!
thanks,
Norman

You're wanting to integrate the web admin tool of GeoServer? Or a mapping front-end like OpenLayers that would use GeoServer as a back-end?
As for a jcr repository, you'd just have to write a GeoTools 'datastore', or contract someone to do it. Probably shouldn't be too hard.

hello community
I am a novice with geoserver, and I have to understand quikly the basics of your platform.
the aim of my project is to integrate geoserver in a portlet (JSR 168) (portal , CMS)
if someone is familiarized with this technology, and have an idea of what could be the best way to do it?
I also want to know if geoserver could deal with jcr repository instead of the basic data repository?
thanks for any information
best regards
