hi, I see one of the difference between Java-based and php-based systems is that, the Java ones are more focus on infrastructure, following standard, oo design, flexible open for integration, but less focus on functionalities. (this could be too subjective as I only know Java but not Php) The term 'mature' may be not correct. My thought is based on my understanding in some Java and php open source projects in the areas like: portal, weblog, cms, wiki etc. The php counterparts are generally provide better "out-of-the-box" functionalities.
Indeed, I posted the previous msg so that, in case any of you are not aware of the functionalities or ideas of the php portal, you can take a look. Hopefully, it help very slightly to make Jetspeed better in the future. Besides, I really want to know why there are such difference. I think Java and J2EE provide better fundamental to build more powerful and scalable systems than php. I sure the php one doesn't have a standard-based portlet API (i wonder they don't use portlet or equivalent at all), but it provides more functionalities that attracts many people. For example, on the technical side, it provides live hit statistics, a headline/news publishing mechanism, site statisitcs *[1] etc. Maybe it is the case that there are more php ppl than Java developers?! Let me post a message to the Struts list later to discuss this OT issue. Regards, mingfai *[1] - not the portal one. but a php cms.
