It always bothered me that the JSR168 <portlet:actionURL /> and <portlet:renderURL /> tags didn’t encode their HTML character entities. The lack of encoding causes your HTML 4 or XHTML 1 markup to fail automated validation. After flipping through a bit more of the JSR286 spec, it mentions that in JSR168 “the behavior in regards to [...]

I thought I’d throw together a quick precursor to another post I plan on finishing in the next few days. This post is about portlets - or, how to structure the HTML markup for a JSR168/JSR286 portlet, to be more specific.
I’ve worked on theming portal user interfaces for a few years now, primarily on [...]

var dzone_style=”2″;Sometimes I look at old draft blog entries and ask myself “what was I thinking?”. Every once in a while, though, I look at an old draft post and say “hey, that’s pretty cool!”. This article fell into the pretty cool category, not so much for the content, but the example app, so I [...]

Packt Publishing recently published a book on JBoss Portal; the book, titled JBoss Portal Server Development, is written by Ramanujam Rao - a JavaEE architect who currently works for Nationwide. Packt sent me a copy and asked that I write a review of the book, which I plan on doing in the next [...]

var dzone_style=”2″;Do you use Spring Portlet MVC? Have you ever noticed the ImplicitModel request parameter in your URL? It looks something like:

org.springframework.web.portlet.mvc.ImplicitModel=true

Well, it’s a Spring Portlet MVC 2.5 feature and I was scratching my head trying to figure out what it does. It’s set by Spring under the covers, so I dug into their source [...]

var dzone_style=”2″;Jared Richardson spoke at a Richmond Java Users Group meeting I attended last week; his topic was about investing in yourself and your career - what he called career 2.0. At one point during the presentation, he noted that “if you can’t draw something, you don’t understand it”, which motivated me to finish a [...]

var dzone_style=”2″;I’ve always been an open source fan and for the past 2 or 3 years I’ve been working with JBoss products - lately JBoss Portal. So, I decided I want to become more active in the JBoss Portal forums on JBoss.com - unfortunately, though, their forums aren’t RSS-enabled and I’m a big RSS user.
So, [...]

Before the Portlet 2 specification (JSR286), the recommended method for adding AJAX functionality to a JSR168 portlet was to deploy an additional servlet to the portal server (either inside the same WAR as your portlet(s) or in a stand-alone WAR) to handle asynchronous requests. Requests to these servlets are then handled by the servlet container [...]

The goal of this article is to show you how to use pack:tag to optimize the performance of your JBoss Portal theme. I’ve used this approach on a production JBoss Portal 2.6 implementation and tested the approach out in version 2.7.
JBoss Portal has a feature-rich theme framework where CSS and javascript resources are included in [...]

JSR250 defines the common annotations for Java. Included in these are the javax.annotation.security.* annotations, including @RolesAllowed, @DenyAll, and @PermitAll; they can be used in EJBs to protect service calls.
I’m currently using Spring Portlet MVC 2.5, which supports an annotation-driven style of development. This means that you don’t need to implement framework-specific classes to build a [...]
