Can I add a Java portlet to sharepoint 2007?

Question

Can I add a Java portlet to sharepoint 2007? If so, can some of them explain the details of how I can do this?

Answer 1

While true you cannot add the Java portlet directly to Sharepoint, Sharepoint, at least in the list of functions, is "W" eb "S" ervice "R" emote "P" ortlet client, or WSRP client. So, what what would you do is build your Java portlet and then deploy and run it in a portlet container that supports a WSRP server like Liferay ... I think this is the one that will do this. Once this is done, you can import the remote portlet into Sharepoint. For Sharepoint 2007, here is a link that may help.

Answer 2

Not really, as stated in KB22 . It does not support the portlet specification.

The answer depends in part on what the Java code should do. SharePoint has a page view web part that inserts an iframe on the page. If you host a portlet at a URL, the web part can point to it and include the rendered output in your iframe. This is probably the best option if you do not want to write SharePoint code.

Answer 3

NetUnity provides a full-featured SharePoint WSRP user that supports WSRP 2.

Answer 4

I would doubt that this is possible, since sharepoint is .NET, but java is not. Although, on the contrary, it is not, sharepoint portlets can be compatible with Java ports ...
