Any java servlets based forum? Well, minimally, jsps are fine too ...

I am looking for some servlets-based forum software
~
The ones you can find here:
~
http://java-source.net/open-source/forum-software
~
are all based on jsps mostly
~
or do you know of any book or link containing a basic example of how
to -effectively- code some forum?
~
Searching for: forum java, would give you lots of links that are not
what you are looking for

Thanks

JSPs are servlets.

Maybe not what you are looking for, but that doesn't mean they won't
suit.

Best practice for Java web apps is to put all presentation in JSPs and
other logic (navigation and dispatch, validation, business logic, back-
end logic) in one or two servlets and a passle of POJOs.

There should be no raw Java code in the JSPs and no tags in the .java
source files.

For a more robust web app if you roll your own, look into Java Server
Faces (JSF). I don't know if any forum software uses that framework
yet.

a passle of POJOs.

Have you coined a new collective noun?
posse + parcel + hassle?

How about a stick of POJOs?

I didn't coin it, I misspelled it.

I meant what I found was thousands of links about -fora related to
java- not some piece of java software with a forum-like functionality
~
I need for it to depend on servlets (or mainly so), because the
presentation doesn't have to necessarily be for a browser/an html page

Tell us more about the presentation you intend. JSPs are not just for
HTML or browsers.

What output format do you intend?

 I am trying not having to code th whole thing myself

Given your comment about custom presentation formats, that might be
problematic. It is beyond my expertise, but perhaps after you explain
your presentation needs in more detail someone else here can speak to
the matter.

JSP's or at least non-servlets (to count for presentation
technologies like Velocity) has been the preferred presentation
technology since JSP was introduces around 1998-99.

I am not aware of any Java based forums from 1997-98, which
is really what you are asking for.

Web apps usually have browser & HTML as presentation.



Are you saying that want a web service interface(or an
EJB interface) to a forum app, when you can bolt a
presentation layer web app, Swing or whatever in
front of ?

The webs services could be a servlet, but I am not aware
of any such kind of forum.

OK, lets say you would like for people to use a webstart app how
would JSPs help me with it in any relevant way?

Apples and oranges. Webstart runs applications, not web apps. JSPs wouldn't
pertain.

It won't but then you are not really looking for
a forum. You are looking for a web service API
for a forum app (or another server side API
for a forum).

And as I write then I am not aware of any such
kind of forum.
