Introduction

The MyFaces Portlet Bridge project provides implementations of the technology needed for exposing a JSF application as a portlet within a Portlet 1.0 or Portlet 2.0 environment. This technology is defined by the Portlet Bridge for JavaServer Faces standards. This project provides the refererence implementations for these standards and is being developed by the OpenSource community.

Though existing within the MyFaces project umbrella, these bridges don't require the use of the MyFaces implementation. They can be installed and run using any Faces environment. Likewise they are designed to run in any Portlet 1.0 (or Portlet 2.0) compliant portlet container.

Currently the MyFaces Portlet Bridge project supports the following specifications:

  • JSR-301 : Portlet 1.0 Bridge for JavaServer Faces 1.2 - This specification has published its proposed final draft(2nd revision). The corresponding Portlet 1.0 Bridge for JavaServer Faces 1.2 contained within this project is consistent with this draft. The finalization of the specification is awaiting a TCK.
  • JSR-329 : Portlet 2.0 Bridge for JavaServer Faces 1.2 - This specification has published its second early public draft. The corresponding Portlet 2.0 Bridge for JavaServer Faces 1.2 contained within this project is consistent with this draft.

More information on these bridges and their supported specifications can be found on the Apache MyFaces Portlet Bridge Projects Homepage as well as the introduction pages of each of the listed bridge implementations.
