Excellent question Jasen! Our company is reviewing portals now. I would like to hear from people that are using jetspeed in a production environment for a thousand users or more, what type of hardware and software architecture they are using, what comparisons they did with other portals and if I might be able to contact them via phone to discuss their success/failure with Jetspeed?

This may be a dumb question, but it is one I need answered. My customer is interested in using Jetspeed as the portal framework for an intranet that will start with a few thousand users - up to a thousand simultaneous hits when people check into the portal in the morning - and then possibly be deployed much more widely. As far as I can tell, there isn't much (anything?) out there about Jetspeed's performance/scalability, long term stability, and developer usability. Being a .war based application, I believe some of the performance questions will relate to the servlet engine being used (Websphere, WebLogic, JRun, etc.). However, there must be some measurement of how hard Jetspeed makes the servlet engine work to deliver content. So, my questions are: 1. Is anyone using Jetspeed in a production environment, with a fairly large user base, with a fairly diverse set of portlets? 2. If so, what is your server environment and performance impressions? 3. How difficulet was the integration of existing web apps with Jetspeed? Sorry for the kind of vague question, a simple "Yes, I have it stood up servicing a few k users, under Websphere, app integration was no harder than with anything else" or "We tried it, got frustrated and bought Hummingbird instead" will do. - Jasen.
