Does eXo come packaged with any portlets and what does JSR 168 standard mean to portlet developers?
The eXo platform comes with a bunch of portlets. One of the great advantages of the JSR 168 standard lies in the fact that you can build your own portal upon Java Server Faces and use Velocity or Cocoon for portlets. eXo provides Struts, Velocity and Cocoon integration portlets. To illustrate this new concept, the Sun sample portlets are included in the platform demo site. They integrate and work perfectly with eXo platform. eXo alsoe provides a portlet framework la Struts. It offers to portlet developers the possibility to manage all action mappings of all portlet modes in a single XML file. The latter also includes exception handling and dynamic action classes.
