Hi Jetspeeders, I need to build an intranet portal for a big company (15,000 potential users, probably more likely to be around 4,000-5,000 active users). I haven't been following Jetspeed for the past year and I need your help to know if it can be used on that project.
Let me give you more details on what features I would need. I would very much appreciate if you could tell me how much I would need to work to make that happen using a Jetspeed infrastructure ... :-) Could you rate with the following scale : * 0 : not possible, * 1 : lots of coding to do, this is not a built-in feature, * 2 : a little coding to do, but very well in the scope of jetspeed and a known feature * 3 : exist as a feature, can be used as is or through some configuration but with no coding required Features needed : - Ability to map the authentication and authorizations to an existing LDAP schema. - Ability to display portlet list based on user role or other criteria coming from LDAP (such as the Office Branch of the employee) - Ability to customize the content of a portlet based on user role, language, country, and other parameters coming from LDAP (employee branch, etc) - Any JAAS support ? - Page content parsing for URL rewriting : I can see there is already a URL rewriter (actually a new implementation seem to be in progress). How much would I need to code/debug/improve to make it a reliable and fast solution ? - Fine-grained Portlet caching : per user, per URL (including HTTP parameters) Also : - Performance : All the jetspeed web sites I have seen were not particularly fast. Is there any known issue WRT performance ? Do all the performance issues come from aggregated content or is the Jetspeed framework itself (or Turbine) a bottleneck ? Or is it Tomcat (does it make a difference running jetspeed on Resin) ? Is there any work going on at the current time to improve performances ? - I think IBM is using Jetspeed as the base for WebSphere Portal Server. If so, is IBM working on a new branch of Jetspeed or are they working on the same Jakarta CVS version ? - We plan to use mostly the WebPage Portlet (with caching of course) and the JSP portlet. Any issues with these 2 ? - Has anyone developed any Web SSO feature for the WebPage Portlet (for example supporting Basic and form-based authentication) ? For example, for each Application you could configure a SSOWebPagePortlet in the config file, passing SSO parameters and reading credentials from a store. Overall, would you recommend using Jetspeed for a full fledge intranet of such a size ? Would you use it yourself for that ? Do you foresee any issue ? Lots of questions ... ! Thanks a lot for your help -Vincent -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
