Cross-Platform Inter-Widget communication Demo @ JavaONE 2008

JavaONEProjectWebSynergy, will redifine the term portal. It will be a widget platform and will natively support other programming and web technologies, like Ruby and PHP. Java, Ruby and PHP widgets not only co-exist on a portal page, but also inter-communicate. And all this is made so easy using Portal Pack NetBeans plugins.

For more on this, read here. But wait..., if seeing is believing, visit us at the JavaONE 2008 booth if you are in San Francisco or the Bay area.

OpenSSO and Liferay integration

You may ask, "Why are you blogging about it here?". Well...isn't open source all about being open, collaborative and helping each other? OpenPortal Portal Server tightly integrates with Access Manager and leverages all (well almost!) of its features. It so happened that I was investigating into pluggable SSO for OpenPortal and ended up writing an auth filter as a prototype. Recently noticed that Liferay integrates with CAS using an auth filter. So thought why not try this with OpenSSO. You can read a rather lengthy blog here if you care about the details.

Enhanced cluster support for Portal Server 7.2

Cluster support for Portal Server 7.2With Portal Server 7.2, the steps to install portal on an AS cluster is straight forward. It is just like creating multiple portal instances the only difference being the instances belong to a cluster. The only additional attribute to be set for the cluster specific instance is the ClusterID attribute.

All it requires is to create an AS cluster with the required number of instances and create a portal instance for each of the clustered application server instances.

The cluster setup instructions page specifies how to create a simple cluster setup with 2 instances managed by a load balancer.

Adding a new instance to the cluster is also straightforward. Create an application server instance (e.g. newinstance) belonging to the cluster (e.g pscluster). Then create a portal instance pointing to the created appserver instance and the appserver cluster i.e, set WebContainerInstanceName=newinstance and ClusterID=pscluster in the WebContainer.properties.SJSAS91 file and run psadmin create-instance.
