JStock Portlet 0.2 Released

This portlet is JSR 168 compliant and provides stock information for Japanese market. It is much appreciated if you can provide any feedback to us :)

Weather Portlet 0.3 Released

This is JSR 168 Portlet to provide weather information for Japan, not world-wide location. For Japanese user, some weather portlets(ex. a portlet provided as a sample) is useless. Because many users do not want weather information of a airport.. But this portlet will provide valuable information for each city in Japan!

VFS Portlet 1.1 Released

Do you want to access various file system? If yes, please try this portlet. This portlet enables you to access file systems(ex. local file system) via commons-vfs. So, basically, this portlet will support file systems supported by commons-vfs(but I checked only a local file system..).

To deploy this portlet:
1) Download vfs-portlet.war
2) Deploy vfs-portlet.war(For how to deploy portlet, see portal server's document)

If you want user to access only some specified paths, you can set the following init param in portlet.xml:

        <init-param>
            <name>accept-paths</name>
            <value>.*</value>
        </init-param>

The default value is ".*". It means user can access all file/directory. For example, if you want user to access files under /tmp and /home, the value is "/tmp/.*,/home/.*". On the other hand, if you want user not to access files, you can also use "deny-paths".

MyFaces Bridge 0.7 released!

MyFaces Bridge 0.7 was released today :) It supports Tomahawk 1.1.3. Using this library, you can use Upload component and some components that uses JavaScript. For MyFaces bridge, the tested environment is Teeda(JSF implementation) and Jetspeed2(If you can run it on other environment, please let me know!). I think that MyFaces Bridges runs on any JSF implementation. If you have a problem, let us know.

To use MyFaces Bridge:
1) Add portals-bridges-portletfilter-1.0.jar and bridges-myfaces-0.7.jar to WEB-INF/lib
2) Modify portlet.xml

For example, if you put the following portlet.xml,

<portlet-app id="vfs-portlets" version="1.0">
   <portlet id="VFSNavigator">
       <description>VFS Navigator</description>
       <portlet-name>VFSNavigator</portlet-name>
       <display-name>VFS Navigator</display-name>
       <portlet-class>
           jp.sf.pal.vfs.portlets.VFSPortlet
       </portlet-class>
       <init-param>
           <name>view-page</name>
           <value>/jsp/ListView.jsp</value>
       </init-param>
       <supports>
           <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
           <portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
       </supports>
       <portlet-info>
           <title>VFS Navigator</title>
           <short-title>VFS</short-title>
       </portlet-info>
   </portlet>
</portlet-app>

change it to:

<portlet-app id="vfs-portlets" version="1.0">
   <portlet id="VFSNavigator">
       <description>VFS Navigator</description>
       <portlet-name>VFSNavigator</portlet-name>
       <display-name>VFS Navigator</display-name>
        <portlet-class>
            org.apache.portals.bridges.portletfilter.FilterPortlet
        </portlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <name>portlet-class</name>
            <value>jp.sf.pal.vfs.portlets.VFSPortlet</value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <name>portlet-filters</name>
            <value>
                jp.sf.pal.tomahawk.filter.ExtensionsPortletFilter
            </value>
        </init-param>
       <init-param>
           <name>view-page</name>
           <value>/jsp/ListView.jsp</value>
       </init-param>
       <supports>
           <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
           <portlet-mode>VIEW</portlet-mode>
       </supports>
       <portlet-info>
           <title>VFS Navigator</title>
           <short-title>VFS</short-title>
       </portlet-info>
   </portlet>
</portlet-app>

That's it! For Portals Portlet Filter, please see Apache Portals Bridges.

Thanks!

Updated MyFaces Bridge in CVS

MYFACES-434 is bothering many Portlet developers, and it's still open bug! So, PAL project provides MyFaces Bridge library that supports a file upload and resources, such as CSS and JavaScript, in head tag. But MyFaces Bridge 0.6 does not support the latest Tomahawk component.. So, I updated it in CVS! Now, it'll support Tomahawk 1.1.3 and be released soon..

Thanks!
