Re: List spaces for user in velocity macro

There are Javadocs online for all the Jetspeed API:

Spaces:
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/apidocs/org/apache/jetspeed/spaces/Spaces.html
Page Manager (folders):
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/apidocs/org/apache/jetspeed/page/PageManager.html

There are examples of using these APIs in the J2-Admin application. For
example, the Spaces Manager is actually a portlet, not a layout:

http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/view/org/apache/portals/jetspeed-2/j2-admin/2.2.2/j2-admin-2.2.2.war!/WEB-INF/view/spaces/spaces-manager.jsp?format=ok

Portlet Applications can make use of Jetspeed API services by declaring the
services they want to use in the jetspeed-portlet.xml deployment descriptor

 <js:services>
    <js:service name='PageManager' />
    <js:service name='SpacesService' />

Then, in your portlet's init method, the portlet context provides access to
all of your declared services:
(from org.apache.jetspeed.portlets.spaces.SpacesList portlet in j2-admin
app):

    public void init(PortletConfig config) throws PortletException
    {
        super.init(config);
        PortletContext context = getPortletContext();
        spacesService = (Spaces)
context.getAttribute(CommonPortletServices.CPS_SPACES_SERVICE);

This is how the Space Manager was implemented in  Jetspeed 2.2.1. If you
are more interested in developing your header with velocity templates and
layouts, let me know, I can give examples of that approach too
