Thomas, Thank you for your answer, especially on a week-end! I hope I did not disturb your Saturday with my silly questions {:-) One solution I was thinking of was indeed to include the whole portal page in an iframe. My use case being for instance to include a forum frame or a CMS frame within our existing app. It sure looks odd (I confess), but it is according to my point of view a realistic use case: we have a complex existing webapp, with carefully crafted layout designed to use the top window with plenty of javascript everywhere -- and we cannot simply say "ok, let's put all that in a rectangle on the screen and add something beside". So the solution would be to rewrite all the main layouts under portal templates and this is a too steep slope. I'll try using the portal in an iframe and let you know about. Thank you very much Thomas! --Eric View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3988681#...
