Creating a skeleton Spring MVC Portlet

If you’re needing to create a new JSR-286 portlet, the Apereo Foundation (formerly JASIG), have provided a Maven Archetype for the creation of a skeleton portlet.

Essentially you can run the following command:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.jasig.portlet.archetype -DarchetypeArtifactId=jsr286-archetype

It will ask you for the group, artefact and package information, and will automatically create a skeleton Spring MVC Portlet for you.

See the using the uMobile Portlet Archetype article for full details.

Welcome!

Welcome!  We have created this blog as a place for members of Development Services to share information, experience and thoughts relating to our work.  Although we use IM for sharing useful links and ideas, sometimes we want to write more than can fit in the space of a chat thread, and to keep the post for longer than the transient nature of an IM exchange.

That’s what this blog is for.  It may contain anything that people think may be interesting: discussions of particular techniques; snippets of useful code; links to and comments on interesting articles; or anything else that seems appropriate.

Anything posted here will be publically readable, so anyone posting should bear this in mind. Common sense applies.  The University has guidelines relating to the use of social media (see the link below).
