Deploying Portlets on OpenPortal Portlet Container

Screencast After receiving quite a few queries from users, I thought it was prudent to post the various ways of deploying JSR-168 portlets on the OpenPortal Portlet Container. The use of GUI provided by the driver, the CLI provided by the ant task and the auto-deployment feature for drag and drop deployment, are all very easy to use and provide flexibility to the developers. These are elaborated in detail in this blog post.

 So start creating those portlets and get them up and running in a matter of seconds.

Google commands and Sun Portal internet-facing deployments

Sun Portal welcome pageRajesh has an interesting observation on using Google commands to discover some external/internet-facing deployments of Sun Java System Portal Server. So essentially a peek at the power and simplicity of Google search, as well as some insight into the adoption of Sun's Portal in a particular category (i.e. external-facing), if you will.

Basically, you can type -- inurl:"/portal/dt" -- in the Google search text box to get a sub-set [1] of the external/internet-facing [2] Sun Portal deployments on the web. The results show diversity of deployments; traction in the commercial/enterprise, government, education, etc spaces..

[1] sub-set since this may only capture the deployments that have not modified the default, out-of-the-box URL ("/portal/dt"), as well as largely picking non-localized deployments (Sun Portal is localized in many languages), etc. Also, the search results presumably reflect the extent of what Google picks up at any given moment. Other caveats may apply.

[2] internet-facing since obviously the search results do not capture intranet URLs; a large proportion of deployments are inside company firewalls (e.g. B2E, etc).
