The reference
implementation is being developed in the Apache Open Source community.
All interested parties are encouraged to use and/or work on
this implementation. The initial code source for this work
was donated by Oracle to the Apache Software Foundation in 2007. The work is being developed in the
PortletBridge
project in Apache MyFaces. Though the project
exists under the MyFaces umbrella, the reference implementation doesn't
require the use of the MyFaces Faces implementation. It will
run with the Faces reference implementation and should run with any
other conforming Faces 1.2 implementation. The decision to
host within Apache MyFaces was largely made so it would be colocated
with the variety of the Faces extension projects (renderkits, etc) that
its important the bridge can run alongside with.
The current binary release is
MyFaces Portlet Bridge 1.0.0-beta2. This version was built in August, 2009 and corresponds to the the second Proposed Final Draft specification. Problems should be reported via the Apache JIRA system.
The main trunk to the source for this project is
here. This contains any changes that have occurred since publishing beta 2.
The TCK is currently under development and is almost complete. Like the reference implementation it is also hosted in the MyFaces Portlet Bridge project.
