Status Report for 2006 Feb 20th to 2007 Mar 20th

1. Finished Simplex2 portlet development work.
The old Simplex portlet in QuakeSim1 is programmed with plain JSP pages. The new version Simplex portlet is using JSF framework and gridsphere portal container, We used MVC model to do the new portlet instead of old JSP pages. All the logic code is in java back-bean. The view layer code is using plain JSF, it is easy to update and deploy.

The following was done in this project:
* Create the web applications with the JSF framework enabled.
* Create the plain JSF pages that uses JSF components to get user input and generate output HTML.
* Configure page navigations.
* Create the JSF managed beans and read and write user/sevice input to the bean's properties.
