Two ways to see it:1. Can anyone share their experiences with Portal integration with a Content Management package?
1) The CMS is on a dedicated server and you have installed another third party Portal server to create "dashboards" for employees where they can check at a glance without having to log into 20 different systems their key tasks and information (90% of the case). Then the CMS just provides basic views (portlets) to the Portal Server so that the employee can check the status of their CMS and can handle basic tasks.
2) The portlets are just considered as another kind of field in the CMS (among fields of types Date, Integer, Float,...). (10% of the case). But IMHO, this is the way to go.
Content = Static information (a structured or unstructured text, a binary file,...)1. Can anyone provide a definition of 'Content' versus an 'Application'?
Application = Dynamic application with a certain business logic inside to manage some content.
Portlets is a bit more than a WAR file to host on a server. You need to hot-deploy and execute it. That is not the case for a PDF file.I'm from an applications background and often have difficultly clearly understanding what content is in terms of storage in a CMS versus applications that would be setup as .WARs in a J2ee application server, and/or "Portlets".
