This particular feedback portlet implementation has been deprecated and retired to a source control branch. See instead the Unconference Feedback Portlet which has taken on the trunk for feedback portlet development and will likely be the feedback portlet platform of the future. |
Purpose
This portlet provides an easily extendable extensible system for user submitted feedback
forms.
Design
...
- Display a form with typical feedback fields (name, phone, email, comments, etc).
...
- Upon submission, email the data to a specified address (or system)
Source Code
The source code for the Feedback Portlet is now available in the JA-SIG Subversion Repository.
Implementation
Required Libraries:
...
This portlet is ready for deployment, no additional libraries are needed.
All development and testing was run with uPortal 2.5.1 quickstart, and
Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.28.
The Spring Portlet MVC is an add on for the spring framework that provides the
servlet/web MVC functionality (in the spring framework) for portlets.
Model: The Feedback is stored in a java bean class, named
edu.wisc.my.portlets.feedback.beans.Feedback. Feedback objects get passed
into an edu.wisc.my.portlets.feedback.dao.IFeedbackMessageFormatter, which
returns a org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage.
View: The display pages are made with JSP. You will likely want to modify these
to display information relevant to your computer help organization.
Please - NO SCRIPTLETS!!! If you want scriptlets, please do not submit them
back to CVSSVN.
Controller: classname - edu.wisc.my.portlets.feedback.web.FeedbackFormController.
Extends org.springframework.web.portlet.mvc.SimpleFormController.
There are two fields that need to be set, an IFeedbackFormatter implementation
and an org.springframework.mail.MailSender (a JavaMailSender is listed in
the spring configuration).
...
Within web/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml, there are two beans, a JavaMailSenderImpl and an IFeedbackMessageFormatter.
For the mailSender, supply any properties you need for your SMTP smart host. This
may be localhost, or a remote server. See http://www.springframework.org/docs/api/org/springframework/mail/javamail/JavaMailSenderImpl.html for the list of availble options.
For the IFeedbackMessageFormatter, choose your desired implementation, and supply fields (those listed are the recipient and from addresses).
Installation
...
- checkout the package from the jasig
...
- SVN repository
- 'ant dist' will create the war file in the dist folder.
Deploy the war file to your portlet container, and you are set.
