JForums as a JSR-168 Portlet Application

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hello,

Congratulations on the Java port of phpBB. Do you have any interest in refactoring JForums as a JSR-168 portlet application? I think that would be very beneficial today.

Thanks,
Mete

I have a friend that every time we talk, he asks me when I will make a JSR 168 port hehehe

As I don't have any plans to port the main jforum project to it, I can consider the possibility to have a parallel project ( ie, a jforum port ) supporting portlets.

Great! I know one person who has an interest in developing a JSR-168 based forums application and he wants to take a look at JForum. His name is Jeff Linwood and his email is jeff at greenninja dot com
I suggest you email him about that

Also what about having the JSR-168 portlet application as part of the JForum project? So this way the JForum project would have two releases, a non-portlet version of JForum, and a portlet version.

Do you already use response.encodeURL(...) (of HttpServletResponse) for every single URL shown in a webpage in the forum?
Servlets should do this (but can work without doing it), portlets must do this (and won't work without using it)

With kind regards,
Geoffrey

No, I didn't.

If this may consided a bug, please create a new topic in the Bugs forum, explaining the motivation and where / when it should be used ( just for the record ).

Thanks for the tip.

I don't think ALL the servlet need that

just the "entry" point need some specific things

Well, for a time so far we've been using encodeUrl() for all stuff.

Does anyone know if JForum is available as a JSR-168 Portlet?

The guys from Jahia made a port. You can get it at http://www.jahia.org/jahia/webdav/shared/portlets/jforum/JForumPortletServlet_beta_2.war

I never tried it, and, as it is not an "official" port, we cannot give any support.

You can find the source here:

- Modified servlet version with urlencoding for portals which support std servlets:

http://cvspub.jahia.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/jforum/

You can easily test it with Jahia by installing the Jahia portal (http://www.jahia.org/jahia/page90.html) and then by deploying the adjusted Jforum WAR file in the adequate Jahia portlet deployment directory: c:\jahia405\tomcat\webapps\jahia\WEB-INF\var\new_webapps\myjahiasite

- Modified JSR168 version:
http://cvspub.jahia.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/jforum_JSR168/
Warning: There are still some differences with the previous servlet version. So you may want to make the merges with the version mentionned above in order to have the latest fixes.

Both of them are available under the same license than JForum. No need to buy Jahia. We als developed some kinf of single-sign-on feature in order to automatically reuse existing users within the portal in the forum while at the same time let possible anonymous users get a way to create their Jforum logins.

BTW: Rapha��l, it would be cool if you may check/integrate all/part-of these changes in the main JForum CVS and/or create a JForum Portlet-ready version (or officialy link it to the Jahia CVS as you want). Especially all changes regarding the urlencoding would be great, so this may then ease upgrade and synchronisation of this *unwanted forks* for portal compliance reasons with the main Jforum project on the long run.
