[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Customized top-level portal page

[callatis]

I would like to deploy JBoss Portal such that the top-level page is structured like this:


  | ----------------------------------
  | TOP-BANNER (logo, search box etc.)
  | ----------------------------------
  | LEFT COLUMN *** | Free-form
  | (FIXED - e.g. **    | User Portlets
  |  Navigation ****   | Area
  |   Portlet) ******   |
  | ----------------------------------
  | **** Copyright Notice ****
  | ----------------------------------
  | 

(See the attachment for a better "picture")

A typical user would be allowed to freely manipulate the center-right area of the page, such as to add [non-admin] portlets, close the existing ones, minimize/maximize them etc., but unable to change anything on the center-left, top or bottom areas (except from typing into whatever text boxes and clicking onto whatever buttons or links are included, of course). The top area would contain, for instance, a logo, the bread-crumbs and a search box, the center-left - a Navigation Portlet, a sign-in portlet etc., while the bottom would contain a copyright notice, "about us" etc. 

Moreover, I would like to only have this layout available to the user, rather than the portal/dashboard choice. The user should never "escape" from that confined center-right area, no matter what (incl. the configuration activities). 

Any ideas how I could do this? Thank you and all suggestions will be appreciated.
