In current (within jbp), the navigation portlet always collect all the pages and displayed on the navigation region. This design doesn;t consider the real/practical usage. That means the users like me want to control what to be shown on the navigation without "destroying" the page deployment in the portal. So, the GenericNavigationPortlet is used to configure what to be displayed on the navigation region. The implementation is not so important because it is simple. So, the design of my GenericNavigationPortlet has following key features: (1)define the displaying order for deployed pages. (2)define what pages should be displayed (3)The Generic Navigation Portlet should be packaged as standalone .war directory. (not .war file) for deployment. WIthin the genericnativationportlet.war/WEB/classes/resourcebundle_xx.properties files, you can add the internationalization resource for the navigation items without interrupt the system. THis is my current portlet key features. If any recommendation needed, i will update the portlet and once i document it, i will submmit it. yang View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3964727#...
