This project is managed in cooperation with various individuals worldwide (both independent and company-affiliated experts), who use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop Portal software and related documentation. 4

Slide 5: Portal Standards • Portlet API for Java – JSR 168: Version 1.0 – JSR 286: Version 2.0 (not released yet) • Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) – Version 1.0 – Version 2.0 (not released yet)

Slide 6: The Apache Portals Projects • Current Projects – Jetspeed 1/Jetspeed 2 – Pluto – Bridges – WSRP4J (Incubation) • Related Projects – Apache Cocoon Portal 6

Slide 7: Apache Pluto • Reference Implementation – JSR 168 and JSR 286 • Framework – to be integrated into portal solution – (used by Jetspeed, Cocoon and others) • Test harness – Startup Pluto and upload your portlets! 7

Slide 8: Apache Portals Bridges • Support for portlet development • Build a web app with your favorite framework – Struts, JSF, PHP, Perl, Velocity, Groovy 8

Slide 9: Apache WSRP4J (Incubation) • Facilitate quick adoption of WSRP • Framework for building – A consumer (into a portal solution) – A provider (into own application) • Testing • Supports only WSRP 1.0 • No active community! 9

Slide 10: Apache Jetspeed 2 • Enterprise portal solution – Supports portlet standard (JSR 168) – Supports Portals Bridges – Component based • SSO • Flexible layout (XML description) – Template support • Several usable portlets – Administration and User • AJAX Support (Desktop 2.1) 10

Slide 11: Apache Cocoon Portal • Enterprise Portal Solution – Based on Apache Cocoon – Portal Framework to build portals – Supports portlet standards (JSR 168 and WSRP) – Supports Portals Bridges – Supports Cocoon Applications – Component based • Flexible layout engine (XML/XSLT) – (AJAX in 2.2) • Powerful Event Mechanism – Status changes, Portlet communication 11

Slide 12: Future of Apache Portals • Major Focus on Jetspeed • Discuss future of Pluto and Cocoon • WSRP4J • Friendly environment for usable portlets – like a marketplace for cool portlets with the right licence – build portlets for/out of Apache projects • Roller, JCR etc.
