I have a GWT app that I want to build as a Portlet. I have already done that with Liferay but the portlet generated (.war file) cannot be deployed into Apache Pluto.

I would like to know if anybody has some HOWTO info about how to build JSR-168 portlets (with GWT and Eclipse) that can be deployed in any JSR-168 compliant portal. I'm not sure if this is possible though.

I've already read the oficial documentation offered by Pluto and I really need something more detailed.

Thanks!

What specifically makes it not able to be deployed in a standard container?

I've written GWT apps into pluto based portals a few times and haven't had too many issues outside of communicating data into the app. In short, I created a standard JSP portlet that loaded the GWT javascript files that get generated during compile and loaded the app into a div panel in the JSP page for the portlet.

I would recommend taking a look at Vaadin. It uses GWT for the UI but works on the server side and can be easily embedded as a portlet. I know that works extremely well for Liferay as I've personally written Vaadin (GWT) apps and deployed them as portlets in liferay. Additionally, Vaadin states here that it will support JSR-168 compliant portals like Pluto.
