[Geoserver-devel] geoserver portlet integration

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

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.

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
