Portlet Support

[Hugo Sombreireiro]

Hi guys,

I'm building a portal interface with CFMX 7 Enterprise and my customer wants
to support JSR186 portlets on this portal. Any ideas on how to support them?

Any help appreciated.

First, the portlet specification is JSR-168 (JSR-186 is an API for
Presence)

You can use a java portlet in your coldfusion using:

portlet = CreateObject('java','com.foo.MyPortlet').init()

and could call its exposed methods, i.e.

portlet.processAction('getUsers');
portlet.render();

should work. be sure to use JavaCast() when passing arguments with
datatypes other than string.
