The document compares various Java portal platforms, highlighting both open source options like Jetspeed, Pluto, JBoss Portal, Liferay, and Exo Platform, as well as proprietary solutions like Oracle WebCenter Portal. It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of Oracle compared to Liferay, emphasizing Oracle's comprehensive suite and efficiency against Liferay's cost-effectiveness and lightweight nature. The document also notes specific features and standards each platform adheres to, such as JSR 168 compliance.
Java Portal platforms presentation
- 1. Portal Platforms There are many reliable Java portal platforms, some renowned platforms are available as Open Source as well as proprietary. Some Open Source projects dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely available Portal are:
- 2. Jetspeed Jetspeed-2 is an Open Portal Platform and Enterprise Information Portal, written entirely in open source under the Apache license in Java and XML and based on open standards. All access to the portal is managed through a robust portal security policy. Within a Jetspeed portal, individual portlets can be aggregated to create a page. Each portlet is an independent application with Jetspeed acting as the central hub making information from multiple sources available in an easy to use manner. The latest version of Jetspeed, Version 2.2.1, most significantly introduces the Jetui client-side customization engine. Version 2.2.0 was our first release conformant to the Java Portlet 2.0 Standard. All releases prior, such as the 2.1.x releases, are conformant to the first Java Portlet Specification, the Java Portlet 1.0 Standard.
- 3. Pluto Pluto is the Reference Implementation of the Java Portlet Specification. The current version of this Portlet specification is JSR 168 1.0 Portlets are designed to run in the context of a portal. They are written to the Portlet API. Pluto implements the contract, the Portlet API, between portlets and portals. Pluto is a portlet container.
- 4. JBoss Portal JBoss Portal provides an open source platform for hosting and serving a portal's Web interface, publishing and managing its content, and customizing its experience. While most packaged Portal frameworks help enterprises launch Portals more quickly, only JBoss Portal delivers the benefits of a zero-cost open source license combined with a flexible and scalable underlying platform.
- 5. Liferay Liferay is a portal designed to deploy portlets that adhere to the Portlet API (JSR 168). Many useful portlets are bundled with the portal (Mail, Document Library, Calendar, Message Boards, etc). Liferay has been declared "Best Open Source Portal" by InfoWorld in 2007
- 6. eXo Platform The eXo platform is a powerful Open Source - JSR 168 compliant – enterprise portal built from several modules. It's based on Java Server Faces, Pico Container, JbossMX and AspectJ.
- 7. Propreitary Portal Platform Oracle WebCenter Portal is a web platform for creating intranets, extranets, composite applications, and self-service portals. It provides users a more secure and efficient means to consume information and interact with applications, processes, and users. It is built on top of the JSF-based Oracle Application Development Framework There are three main products that make up the WebCenter portfolio and they can be purchased together as a suite or individually: • Oracle WebCenter Content (includes WebCenter Imaging) • Oracle WebCenter Sites • Oracle WebCenter Portal
- 8. Comparison of Oracle Webcenter and Liferay Advantages of Oracle Portal: • Oracle offers a full-stack suite for development (including JSF and Portlets): Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) • Oracle JDeveloper offers good support for ADF. • Everything from one product line increases efficiency (database, application server, ESB, IDE, Portal, …) – at least in theory
- 9. Comparison of Oracle Webcenter and Liferay Disadvantages of Oracle Portal: • High initial costs • Complex, heavyweight product (compared to Liferay Portal) • Proprietary • Communication between Portlets is not implemented using the standard JSR-286, but a custom proprietary solution • The entire platform feels unfinished. There are many bugs or features altogether missing from components. The other major concern is that this product is built on ADF.
- 10. Comparison of Oracle Webcenter and Liferay Advantages of Liferay Portal: • Open source • Drastically lower initial costs • Lightweight product (1-Click-Install, etc.) • Can run on almost every popular Java server. Compatible with platforms which are running the Java Runtime Environment and an application server • Liferay Portal Enterprise comes with many useful portlets, and in fact Liferay portal has maximum utility portlets as compared to other open source Portal Frameworks, which are JSR 168 compliant and can be used in any Portal Framework with little changes.
- 11. Comparison of Oracle Webcenter and Liferay Disadvantages of Liferay Portal: • Not everything is from one product line (this cannot be considered as disadvantage always) • Portlets are still Portlets. Although Liferay is lightweight, realizing Portlets still problematic as it does with a proprietary product References: https://dzone.com/articles/pros-and-cons-%E2%80%93-when-use https://www.g2crowd.com/compare/liferay-liferay-digital-experience- platform-vs-oracle-webcenter-content
