JBoss Portal 2.6 is released!

Lots of work over the last ten months and there it is: JBoss Portal 2.6.0.GA has been released today! In particular, this includes my work on WSRP which has been significantly beefed-up since our first, base-level support introduced in 2.4. We now support the complete specification (albeit at different profile levels) including the ability to clone, personalize and manage remote portlets and their lifecycle.

Some coverage:

First post on JBoss Portal’s blog

I have finally posted a post on JBoss Portal’s developer blog. It’s a short but sweet opinion piece about how iPhone’s support for full-fledged web browsing and Apple’s SDK stance could be an opportunity for Portal developers. :)

In other news, we (as in the Portal team) have been busy working on the GA release of JBoss Portal 2.6. This work should bear fruits real soon now and it has lots of new, cool features along with improvements all over. Watch JBoss Portal’s blog for an announcement soon.

JBoss Portal 2.6 is in alpha…

… and ready for your consumption! Most notably, as far as I am concerned, it includes a near-complete implementation of the WSRP 1.0 specification so please give it a try and let me know if you break anything so that I can correct any problem! :)

JBoss Portal 2.4 released!

It’s finally there! Get it while it’s hot. :)

JBoss Portal 2.4 Alpha released!

It’s been a couple of busy months and it’s been particularly busy the last couple of weeks but we have released an alpha of the upcoming version of JBoss Portal which, among other numerous improvements, include what I have been working on specifically: support for WSRP!

Oh, yeah, if you want to learn all about it be sure to attend JBoss World in Las Vegas where I’ll be presenting a session on WSRP and JBoss Portal. ;)

Activating dev mode in JBoss Portal

By default, portlet errors are swallowed up by JBoss Portal but you can change that so that errors such as portlet unavailability, etc… are displayed. To achieve such result, you should modify the config.xml file in portal-core.sar/conf so that the properties to show/hide the appropriate errors are to your liking:

<properties>
    <!-- When a window has restrictedaccess : show or hide values are permitted -->
    <entry key="core.render.window_access_denied">show</entry>
    <!-- When a window is unavailable : show or hide values are permitted -->
    <entry key="core.render.window_unavailable">show</entry>
    <!-- When a window produces an error : show or hide values are permitted -->
    <entry key="core.render.window_error">show</entry>
    <!-- When a window is not found : show or hide values are permitted -->
    <entry key="core.render.window_not_found">show</entry>
</properties>
