Hi Paul, well we wrote the portal components currently in Cocoon, so I guess I can comment on them :-).
We originally (1 1/2 years ago) looked at JetSpeed (back then) but decided we didn't want a solution that was an add-on to Cocoon. We wanted to integrate a solution into Cocoon and do this with components that adhere to the Cocoon architecture. And the portal is completely XML / XSL / Cocoon pipeline based. You can find a first overview of the portal here: http://www.need-a-cake.com/stories/2002/02/14/cocoonPortalFirstLook.html You might also like to look here: http://www.sparkasse-gelsenkirchen.de This is a live financial portal (in German) using the components. Login with "guest" / "guest". Perhaps you can post some specific questions on what you want to do and then I can comment on whether this is currently possible with the solution. How does that sound? <plug> Depending on where you are in the world :-). You might also consider going to one of these - where we will be presenting the portal: http://www.jax2002.de http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2002/ </plug> Best regards Matthew Langham -- Open Source Group sunShine - Lighting up e:Business ================================================================= Matthew Langham, S&N AG, Klingenderstrasse 5, D-33100 Paderborn Tel:+49-5251-1581-30 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.s-und-n.de Weblogging at: http://www.need-a-cake.com Cocoon book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735712352 ================================================================= -----Original Message----- From: Paul Pattison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 6:53 AM To: Cocoon Mailing List Subject: Portal question I'm looking to develop a xml portal web application. So far I'm loving Cocoon. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to tackle the portal side of things... I've read up a bit on sunSpot and JetSpeed. It sounds like they're pretty similar. Could someone who's actually used them comment on the pros and cons of each one?
