The Apache Portals team is pleased to announce the General Availability of Apache Pluto version 3.0.0
The JSR 362 Portlet Specification 3.0 introduces many improvements to the portlet programming model. It adds configuration through annotation, asynchronous support similar to the servlet asynchronous support, multipart form support, support for CDI beans, method annotation support allowing portlet methods to reside in different classes, and a JavaScript API that allows portal pages to function as single-page applications. The Pluto 3.0 portlet container implements all JSR 362 features and passes the TCK. While doing so, Pluto 3.0 remains fully compliant to the 2.0 Portlet Specification, meaning that version 2.0 portlets can run on the version 3.0 portlet container. Additional Resources: The Java Community Process JSR 362 page will allow you to access the complete specification for full details. http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=362 The JavaOne 2016 presentation "Portlet Specification 3.0 Is Here!" provides a version 3.0 overview. https://static.rainfocus.com/oracle/oow16/sess/1462801563632001pOv8/ppt/JSR362-JavaOne-2016a.pdf The Portlet API Version 3.0 page documents the portlet programming interface. http://portals.apache.org/pluto/portlet-3.0-apidocs/index.html For a full overview of all the Pluto features, see the online documentation.
