Tuesday, April 28th

I'm working with portlets deployed to glassfish, running inside of Liferay 5.2.2. The portlets are written using html, jsp and jstl. I'm wishing I had a framework such as JSF for component definition. Unfortunately the JSF lifecycle has not proven to play nice with the portlet lifecycle. So for now, I've got component-specific code duplicated in multiple portlets. Make it work, make it right, make it fast. I'm on step one. At some point I'd like to introduce AJAX into the mix.

I'm also working with BPEL/JBI, utilizing the LDAP and J2EE binding components. The more I work with BPEL, the more impressive it is. However it is only as powerful as the binding components that exist. Last year I drudged through the JDBC bc but so far the LDAP and J2EE bcs seem fairly mature.
