[15:17:28 CDT(-0500)] <ramen_> Hey guys, this may be a little off-topic, but I was hoping to get some portlet-related advice

[15:19:08 CDT(-0500)] <ramen_> I've got a small (~3000K loc) IBM WebSphere 6 portlet (not JSR-168 compliant) that needs to be upgraded

[15:19:42 CDT(-0500)] <ramen_> Would you a) rewrite, b) use something like Spring MVC Portlet, c) other?

[15:20:06 CDT(-0500)] <ramen_> Also, if there's a better place to ask, don't hesitate to tell me to get lost

[15:28:31 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> ramen_: I would definitely consider Spring MVC portlet

[15:30:14 CDT(-0500)] <ramen_> jwennmacher: Is that where you'd start if you were writing a new portal from scratch?

[15:30:30 CDT(-0500)] <ramen_> jwennmacher: excuse me, portlet

[15:30:59 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Yes, though if you are running it inside uPortal I'd copy a fairly updated portlet, like email or calendar, and strip it down and start with that

[15:33:33 CDT(-0500)] <ramen_> We're at a point where our heavy investment in IBM isn't looking so good, so I was looking at uPortal as a new direction

[15:34:33 CDT(-0500)] <ramen_> Would uPortal play nicely with other applications running on a different WebSphere server, using LTPA tokens?
