[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Re: future directions

[julien@jboss.com]

The PF is a way to decouple the portal from its presentation layer so you can have the implementation of your choice:

- HTML (Classic)
- Ajax
- Flex
- Swing

the need really comes from the fact that the portal *must* not rely on a specific kind of presentation technology. For instance your portal should not behave differently if you use HTML or Ajax, what I mean by behave here is the portal logic, like if I click on page XYZ, it shows page page XYZ).

The PF does other things, I wrote a document that outlines it, you can see read it http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhfvtj95_1fnrk2f

We can discuss about it in that forum.

  | If you want to base your view on YUI the good thing is that you can. But if your neighbor want it based on GWT (Which is quite popular, like it or not) he can, and if someone else want plain old HTML he can too.

  | The presentation framework gives you the necessary abstraction ! We won't rely on a technology, it changes too quickly, and that's why the presentation framework is born :)
