Hello there! We have a portal built using Seam + JBoss Portal and Portlet bridge. And damn it was painfull emoticon

We really would enjoy replacing JBoss "Crappy" Portal for another solution. We are now evaluating liferay. But I have a few issues:

All my portlets are using Richfaces, and Liferay does not support it right?

If I move to IceFaces (which I really would not like, because of the state saving method, dunno if they support client now though) I'm still trying to figure how to use a bridge on Liferay. does it supports the bridges provided by Sun or it has its own, also, don't know if seam is gonna work emoticon Has anyone tried it before?

Regards

Hi

I too frustratingly worked for Seam2+Liferay integration , it's really painful. I'm also not comfortable with icefaces. My thoughts are moving towards JBoss portals, bcoz JBoss seam bridge is available. I think Liferay will take some more time to support Seam , But Seam is awesome .

Same for me - do not like Icefaces, but it looks like for current moment it is not stable way to use Seam under Liferay. Also forgot about RichFaces (and a4j) under Liferay - it is not supported - and really do not know then it will be.

After some investigation I found like most stable way to develop JSF portlets for Liferay is (in case you do not like Icefaces) is: JSF + Facelets + Woodstock. But, woodstock is another story and also really looks like not a best solution.
