- if you have HttpServlet inheritance then there is a good chance it
will work with very little changes
- we are not using container authentication. We are using our own auth.
You need to write your own Auth class (there is one for exo which you
can use as an example) if you want it to bridge to your auth. Also in
the exo integration we did allow xwiki to work with the exo auth both
when accessed as a portlet or accessed as a webapp.
To start you should checkout xwiki and make sure you can build it. There
is an exo build (which only changes the xwiki.cfg and adds exo libs
needed for auth). It will make sense to refactor our implementation to
use an xwiki.portlet=1 instead of xwiki.exo=1 in xwiki.cfg

Hi Ludovic,
Sounds great-- we also rely on the HttpServlet classes so
typecasting would possibly work even if it's not the most elegant. We
do in fact support the Struts bridge from the Jakarta portals bridges
project if that's useful since I thought I saw references to Struts
classes in xwiki.
As far as authentication, does it work with container based
authentication i.e. editing tomcat-users.xml for instance? It would be
fine with me if it requires a separate login just to get started with
the hopes of trying to use a common login at a later point.
Where should I begin? I might be able to enlist some others on our
side as well. Since JBoss and Exo are interested in this or have done
it it might also be good to create a separate mail list for the
interested parties...
Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,
There is a little bit of work to make it purely jsr 168 compliant but
it shouldn't be too hard. There are some issues with attachments and
with the reliance on the HttpServlet object.
Another thing that needs to be made is authentication integration
which is portlet engine specific.
If you want to help on this, we can provide you some support here. I
also have some code built by JBoss which has tackled some of these
areas.

Hi all,
I'm interested in supporting xwiki portlets for our GridSphere
portal framework (http://www.gridsphere.org) It seems that xwiki is
available for the Exo portal so I'm naively thinking it shouldn't
be too hard to convert them to work in another portlet container.
Can anyone help get me started if this is possible?
Thanks, Jason
