Building a successful open source
community requires having access to a capable set of
individuals/organizations that have a passion for the technology the
community represents. Thanks to the success Sun Java Portal
Server has had over the years, the OpenPortal project inherited
thousands of customers and partners interested in Sun's portal
technology. One recent example - ICSynergy, a long time Sun system
integration partner, found having access to the Sun Java Portal
Server source helped them to resolve a major issue for their
customer in a fraction of the time it would have taken in the "old days". Read the ICSynergy story
Back in January 07, we started a project to support EMC Documentum
Enterprise Content Management Portlets in Sun Java System Portal
Server 7.1. The portlets in Content Management and Web Publisher
categories are
pre-packaged Web Development Kit (WDK) components that include Java
server pages, Java classes, and XML files. These portlets provide core
content management and content services for creating, viewing, submitting and publishing various types of content.
eRoom portlets provide a dashboard view into EMC Documentum eRoom
and offer the ability to manage multiple project eRooms.
ECI Services portlet is built using ECI Services framework with
adapters to search various repositories, databases and and web sites.
I was invited to present portal at the Java CAPS Apostles Conference last week @ Singapore. This conference involves Sun Partners, Sales folks around Java CAPS, some around Portal, Java CAPS System Engineering, Partners and Solution Architects who are responsible for customer implementations, POCs, RFPs etc. The conference usually highlights features of Java CAPS and things being done around it by other products.
This was an opportunity to showcase things being done around the Portal product, Portal around JavaCAPS integrations, NetBeans tooling.
For details regarding what all was presented, which hands on exercises were done, what CDs were distributed, please check out my blog. The conference concluded on a very positive note, giving great food for thought to everybody about integrating Portal with Java CAPS.
