Hi,

I am currently exploring portals/portlets and wsrp. The RCP has some
similarities to a portal. Different portlets, that can be minimized, or
maximized. Or the view can be customized.

Is RAP similar to RCP? So that I can build RCP with web components and
ajax? Or is the idea only to write web applications with java, without
writing html and javascript manually?

My idea is: Is there any relation of RAP to portals? Are there any
similarities? So that maybe RAP is an alternative to actual portals?

Or is this not comparable?

Greetings

Michael

Hi,

at the current stage there are no plans for RAP to support portals/portlets,
since this is beyond the scope of the technology project. The RAP rendering
engine manages the whole client side document and does not support simple
snippets that could be included into portal pages as laid down by the portal
specification. But it may be possible to build an application on top of RAP
that integrates portlet snippets into a kind of portlet view. But actually
I'm not familiar enough with the portlet specification to answer that point
thoroughly.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. So RAP is "only" the equivalent of RCP for the
web, right? So the idea is to create web applications not portals in the
way at it is done by Java Portal + Portlets and so on.

Hi again,

you are right, RAP provides a programming model for web-development that is
known by RCP developers. As RCP RAP will provide a workbench with view-/
editor-parts and selection-service for example, using a similar widget
library (RWT equivalent to SWT) and a JFace derivative.
