Description

I started from the wiki page at [1]: rather good, even though quite bound to pluto 1.0. I could easily adapt the procedure to Open Portlet Container [2] and Sun Portal Server; unfortunately, when it comes to CForms, the only pointer is [3], very out of date nowadays.

The main issue in CForms is related to the fact that also [2] points out: Portlet's ActionRequest can not have any response body. After some struggling, I found the solution by modifying Form.js' sendFormAndWait() to be able to cope with the former issue.

Another smaller issue is related to resources URI (for CSS and JS) that must be adapted and rewritten by the LinkRewriter in order to be effective.
