Using other development frameworks

While Jasig strives to develop consistent software development practices, portlet developers are welcome to use other development frameworks to match their personal preferences or institutional standards. Portlets may generally be developed with any backend framework that supports the JSR-168 standard. Portlet view layers may use any JavaScript library that is compatible with jQuery in noConflict mode.
