[xwiki-users] URL Filtering and XWiki License

[Ian Bamsey]

Ricardo,

We too are working on the same project. We need a JSR168 portlet.  Why 
not share your code with the XWiki project and we can all work on fixing 
these problems. From our perspective the main difficulty is building a 
portlet whose HTML structure is neutral enough to allow the container's 
style-sheet to work. We want to deploy a Wiki portlet in multiple JSR168 
containers and we want the container's look and feel to come through 
without need to change the portlet.

I feel this is a problem with XWiki in general. The Velocity macro's 
include much of the logic and the HTML/CSS. To make the XWiki's skin 
match another system, I need to modify many VM files. This is ok, but 
each time I upgrade XWiki  I must redo the work. We are building portlet 
code that make a clearer separation of code from HTML as this should 
reduce the portlet's maintenance when new versions of XWiki are released.
