Santiago,
indeed you are right - we are very busy. I hope however that we'll have time to merge the code for the new Portlet API with the head soon after the 1.3a2 release. Regarding the strengths of WPS - WPS 1.2 that is available since this summer has the new Portlet API (that we also contribute to JetSpeed), performance and scalability-optimized multi-device page aggregation, improved page customization, a portal datastore using relational databases, advanced authentication and authorization features, management UI, user enrollment and selfcare functions, support for various LDAP directories, search integration, hundrets of available portlets, multi-level caching for pages and portlets, single-signon, WPS test environment for Visual Age, complete internationalization and the ability to serve many different languages including Chinese and Japanese concurrently for users distributed across the world and various other things. WPS includes some additional software like WebSphere Application Server, DB 2, Extended Search, Secure Way LDAP. This is of course just the beginning, the next release will bring a lot more functionality, including such things as the ability to publish and use remote portlet webservices, sophisticated collaborative functions and many other things. Of course - as Ming Fai expected - support and customization through IBM global services and a large number of partners that provide software and services around WPS also belong to the strengths of WebSphere Portal Server. Those who are interested may have a closer look on the WebSphere home page.

They have actively pushed for a standard portlet API, that several different portlet containers can implement. They are not very active in the list lately, although I think this is due to them having too much work with their successful project (I hope). : -) > > >Actually, what's the strength of IBM's product in compare to Jetspeed? >better scalability? support? and what else? > Maybe some of the involved people can comment. > > >Regards, >mingfai > > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
