Yes, this is possible. You can use the portlet request dispatcher to forward to a jsp or a servlet.

Thanks, I was able to at least install the war, although I haven't figured out how to actually deploy/install the portlets on a page. BEA WLS is much more complicated than any other portal server I've used. The concept of Books and Pages within books is confusing; I don't see any clear way to quickly deploy and install third-party portlets.

I've got a jsr-168 war file that I'm testing out on different portal servers. For Jetspeed, you just drop the war file into the /deploy directory. For IBM Websphere Portal, you use the install portlet tool, where you just specify the war file location.

But I've not figured out how to deploy these to WebLogic Portal Server (v9.2 or 8.1). I've read through a ton of documentation on BEA's site, but haven't had any luck. Does anyone know how to deploy jsr-168 war files to BEA WPS?

Hi, I'm trying to use Apache Digester to populate an object from an xml document. I want to have two Strings in the object, title and html. I am using the bean setter to do this. Using the example below, I get the correct title, but the html ends after "This is some example text". Is there a way to tell Digester to ignore the html tags within the document? This document is coming from an external source, so I cannot edit it.
<mycompany:title>XYZ</mycompany:title> <mycompany:html>This is some example text<p>And here is some <b>more</b></mycompany:html>

Thanks!

James, You are right; for some reason I was reading WEB-INF/lib and thinking /lib under the EAR project.

You can use WsJdbcUtil.getNativeConnection() to get the AS400 class.

I also have a thread that accesses a database. What is the recommended way for threads to do this with J2EE 1.4?

In WSAD, after you add the jar to WEB-INF/lib, you also need to right-click on the project, select Properties, then select Java JAR dependencies. Check to make sure the jar you need is checked and in the manifest.

Not quite sure what you mean, but there are some good examples on the apache site - here

If using a framework like struts is not an option, you could create a HashMap that would map action parameter keys and Action classes/and or jsps. That would get rid of your long if/else statements that you have now.

You may want to use request.getQueryString(), if you want to see the whole request string. This will return a String with everything after the ? in your url....

Rolling on floor laughing Never used the CMM have you??
Many times moving to CMM does just the opposite.
CMM is just a process. I have worked for a CMM level 4 company and I have worked for companies that never heard of CMM. Guess what? The quality of software was actually better at some of the non CMM companies.
Delivery schedules we're certainly faster using non CMM processes.

Chances are, these recruiters are all trying to fill the same position.
Just because a recruiter thinks that you may be qualified doesn't mean that the hiring company will concur. However, it never hurts to interview and find out yourself, as long as you feel somewhat confident that you have what it takes.

There are a few ways. I would suggest looking at the java.util.Calendar, java.util.Date, and java.text.SimpleDateFormat classes and see which looks like it best meets your need.
