To be completed

• Need to update to the latest XCAT and XSOAP jars so that we can pass proxy credentials to the xbook manager (which can then pass it to the xbook). Code is also needed to get the proxy credentials from the ProxyManager.

• Jetspeed will unload the portlet when a user's session times out. This will kill the connection with the xbook manager which will kill the thread handling the request (right?). But ideally we would like to call the xbook manager's shutDown routine and exit properly. There should be a routine we can define within the VelocityPortletAction class which would be called when Jetspeed decides to unload the portlet. We should find out what that routine is and call the xbook manager's shutDown routine.

• Currently the portlet connects directly to a xbook manager. It should be changed so that it first connects to a xbook directory service. Then once it has a "xbook url", it contacts the xbook server and launches a xbook manager. Finally, it connects to the xbook manager.
