1.1. What's New

1.1.1. What's new in Jetspeed-2 (J2)?

Everything Jetspeed-2 is a complete rewrite of Jetspeed-1. It is the next-generation enterprise portal at Apache Portals. It's hard to pick out the coolest new feature. Some may think that the component architecture and Spring integration, others like CMS-based navigation model, and others like the standardization of portlet development. Personally, what is cool to me is the new community at Apache Portals, and how Jetspeed-2 fits into that community as the enterprise portal.

The complete answer of what is new in Jetspeed-2 is:

• Fully compliant with the Java Portlet API standard

• Separation of portlet applications from portal

• Live deployment model for portlet applications and portal layouts

• Component-based architecture based on Spring

• Multi-threaded portlet aggregation engine

• Scalable cluster architecture

• Pipeline-based request processing

• JAAS security components

• Apache Portal bridges

  • o Jakarta Struts o Java Server Faces o PHP, Perl integration o Jakarta Velocity

• CMS-based site navigation

• SSO component

• Web content component

• Web services component

Jetspeed-2 is a part of an open enterprise development platform based on components and standards. You have an excellent deployment model and component integration framework that will enable people to write standard portlet applications and supporting components, and deploy them live to the portal.

Apache Portals provides a powerful integration platform for all kinds of enterprise software development. With Portals Bridges, you can now develop portlet applications with JSF, Struts, PHP, or Velocity. When the Portals applications project is accepted into Apache, we will have a community for developing vertical portlet applications that are not coupled to any portal server.
