"As a beginner, after I went through the installation of uPortal with Oracle support, implementation of related portlet, CDK in the tutorials, I want to go down to the code. But the source code looks overwhelming complicated that I lost my direction quickly at "redirectString" of "loginservlet".
Is there any way that could be used to alleviate the pressure of understanding the system? Thanks!"
We have created an open platform for true enterprise integration, based on a component architecture and Java standards. I am excited to start developing applications with NewPortal. The end result is an integrator's dream enterprise portal. Portals are the ultimate end-user integration points for communities or businesses. NewPortal makes integration as easy as selecting portlets, customizing them live, and dropping them in to your portal for immediate use. For those needing more complex integration, the NewPortal API provides the clear assembly and interception points for component building and integration.
Since our components are simply ... dependency-injected Spring components, integrators with Spring experience will immediately be up and running. This is where NewPortal really shines for system integrators. We have found that every portal requires integration with existing business processes. Typical cases are integrating user attributes from diverse applications, web content and service integration, authentication (SSO) integration with existing LDAP or other commercial databases, and complex authorization rules based on access control lists. NewPortal clearly isolates these integration points in the NewPortal API, based on existing Java standards. This is where NewPortal provides a clear and open advantage.
