Hi devs,
You can find here
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/PortletIntegration a draft
regarding the portlet integration.
We need to decide what's the best approach. For short term I think the
loosely-coupled integration solution is the best as it requires less
changes to the core. The current implementation is in
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/xwiki-portlet/ and I
propose to move it to platform/xwiki-portlet before 2.4M2.
For long term, when we'll have the new model in place, we might consider
the tightly-coupled integration solution as it seems to be more clean
and it follows the component way. It won't be easy to implement though.
WDYT?
I'd like to see how it integrates with the portlet module in containers. I don't
think it's a good idea to have 2 places for portlets at the same time.
I'd also like to see how it integrates in container/ module in general.
We have defined a place for environments in containers/ so if you're proposing to put
code outside of it, it means this container notion doesn't work and we need to get rid
of it.
hmm what you are saying I think is that your implementation is an implementation using old
concepts (ie xwiki-core).
So far everything that was done the old way has been put in xwiki-core (and in plugins).
I'd prefer to isolate new stuff from old stuff that has to go away. So it seems
we'd need something like:
platform/xwiki-old/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-portlet
Do I understand correctly?
Thanks
