Hi,
-Users are not developers, they are end-users managers and business analists and they want to create their own operations dashboard.
-Just imagine that our main application can produce portlets that display the weather information of just one city (I know the portlets could have a preference that may allow users change the city they want to see). the main appliction can assamble a war'ed jsr-168 portlet that displays the weather of that city, that war'ed jsr-168 portlet could also be put in the deployment path of weblogic, our app can do that without problems, end-users don't have any idea of what is going on behind the scenes.
-Imagine for example that we want to see one and only one city weather information in each portlet, so managers can assamble a dashboard of cities wheather portlets. One manager may want to see the weather of just two cities (two portlets), a second manager four cities (four portlets) and so on, any number of portlets.
-In the above scenario I still don't see how I can add to each manager portal any number of jsr-168 portlets without pre-configuring an specific number of federated portlets in the portal.
Thank you!
