Today I integrated WWPortlet with WebWork 2.2 Alpha (latest CVS) and something amazing happened: everything just worked and, for the first time ever, I saw WebWork working perfectly in a portlet environment.
A huge thanks goes out to Henry Hu who not only created the initial WWPorlet project, but also provided me easy-to-follow instructions for integrating the whole thing with CVS head (he even fixed a few WebWork bugs). This is a truly great example of open source in action!
At this point, I’ve asked Henry to think about joining the WebWork team and owning the portlet support. If this happens, WWPortlet would likely be deprecated and rolled directly in to WebWork.
On a related note, we’re down to only 6 open issues for WebWork 2.2. These are exciting times, and every day we’re seeing WebWork evolve from just a “web application framework” to a full-fledged “web development environment”. Get ready — the beta is due this weekend!

Hi… I’d just like to drop a few questions regarding WebWork.:
1. I know Manning’s website says “september”, but Is there a specific date in mind to release WebWork in Action?
2. Do you know if an e-book version will be avaliable [ for developers abroad that can't wait for the mail to deliver the printed edition :^) ]?
3. Do “WW in Action” provides coverage for WW2.2?
4. When will WW2.2 release most likely take place?
Have a nice evening!
