I've been tasked with learning Vignette and setting it up is a nightmare. There are many different components in the wizard. If something fails, you get a cryptic error message and then have to start again. This is the worst "Wizard" since Kwame Brown. Are there other Portal servers out there that are easy to configure, or at least see...
I'm new to Java portlets, and am trying to get a handle on how these things work at a fairly basic level. I'm confused now about how to have multiple "views" in my portlet.

I'm interested in the possibility of developing Liferay portlets on Grails, using the Grails Portlets plugin. I reckon introducing a portlet framework (such as the Spring Portlet API) will make development faster and more comfortable, so being able to further add Groovy and Grails conventions to the mix sounds almost too good to be true....
