- 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 Ludovic Jason Novotny wrote:
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
