Punit Pandey's Weblog on Portlets, WSRP, OOA/D and J2EENowadays, I am working on Portlets, WSRP, OOA/D, AOP, Design Patterns, Software Methodologies, J2EE and More. I will try to post related information on this blog.Books on Portlet, JSR 168, WSRP & Java Portals- July 22, 2004 I am compiling a list of books available on portlets, java portals, JSR-168 and WSRP technologies. A quick serach given following results. You will find books on IBM WebSphere Portal Server, Oracle Portal Server, BEA Weblogic Portal Server and of course Open Source Portal Servers etc. 1. Professional Portal Development with Open Source Tools: Java Portlet API, Lucene, James, Slide by W. Clay Richardson, Donald Avondolio, Joe Vitale, Peter Len, Kevin T. Smith 2. IBM WebSphere Portal Primer by...http://www.jroller.com/portlets/entry/books_on_portlet_jsr_168 Microsoft Open Source Portals- July 16, 2004 Truly speaking, I don't have much idea on what portal solutions are available on Microsoft platform especially open source ones. Yesterday, while surfing the web, I came to know about some open source portal solutions on Microsoft platform. One was Rainbow and other one was DotNetNuke. It is good to see some open source portal solutions on Dot Net. What made me interested that these too use some sort of portlets. Again as I told you, I don't have much idea of these solutions. But I am...http://www.jroller.com/portlets/entry/microsoft_open_source_portals Portal Server Demo URLs- July 15, 2004 One reader of my weblog asked me to help him with demos of portal servers so that he can play and have some idea about the product before making any decision. I requested the same on my portlet discussion group and few portal vendors responded. Here is the list based on their responses. I am planning to keep it updated. Liferay - http:demo.liferay.net eXo - www.exoplatform.com is built on eXo Portal. You can also play with it to some extent. Another one, password: exo GridSphere -...http://www.jroller.com/portlets/entry/portal_server_demo_urls More Study on Portal Servers- July 12, 2004 Please read it in continuation of my old stories on choosing open source java portal server. The one was not based on any extensive study but based more on my past experiences with java open source portals. After that a few things have changed. (yes, and will keep changing:-) ) Probably on the same day of my post, GridSphere released version 2.0 of their portal server. eXo has also came up with RC1 of the their portal server. I have given a quick look to eXo but didn't get sufficient time to go.http://www.jroller.com/portlets/entry/more_study_on_portal_servers Which Open Source Portal Server to Choose- July 5, 2004 Like with any other new technology, it is the most frequently asked question related to portals. The portlet and portal technology is now here for quite a while but I am asked this question so often that I decided to write here. If you will check manageability, you will find total of 17 open source portal servers listed. It is really not easy to evaluate all products and take decision. I am now involved with this technology for quite a while. I am continuous in touch with Internet and...http://www.jroller.com/portlets/entry/which_open_source_portal_server List of Open Source Portal Server in Java- July 2, 2004 Jeff on his blog, Uncommented Bytes, has shown Jetspeed 1 as his portal of choice. I had not given Jetspeed 1 in my list of choice instead I had given Jetspeed 2 (yet to release) in my list. He was of opinion that Jetspeed 1 and Jahia should be in the list. There are two reasons for not adding these two in the list. Jetspeed 1 is not JSR 168 and WSRP compliant. I had JSR 168 as primary criteria for my list. Without JSR 168 support whatever work you are doing will not be reusable. It is very...http://www.jroller.com/portlets/entry/list_of_open_source_portal |
