About the Bridge

The JBoss Portlet Bridge is a non-final draft implementation of the JSR-301 and JSR-329 specifications to support JSF within a portlet and with added enhancements to support other web frameworks. Currently the bridge supports any combination of JSF, Seam, and RichFaces to run inside a portlet.

Which Bridge Version Should I Use?

This project covers 2 specifications. The 1.0 branch covers JSR-301 and trunk covers JSR-329. For a little under 2 years, the 1.0 bridge has been undergoing active development, but right after we released 1.0.0.CR2, we also released an alpha implementation of the newer and better 2.0 bridge.

So, in an effort to keep things new and innovative we started on the 2.0 bridge which gives JSF apps a lot more power in a portlet environment. And since it solves many difficult problems that 1.0 had, we will drop development of the 1.0 codebase in favor of 2.0.

At this time the JBoss Portlet Bridge is only supported to run on GateIn and or JBoss Portal.
