Hi!
We have a lot of small webservers running it's own special task, from router-admins to Outlook Web Access to the company public pages.
All these servers is in a private network with one public ip. Today we have solved the problems with accessing these webservers from internet by assigning them different portnumbers but its hard for the users to remember what application is where.
So, we are looking for a way to proxy our webserver into one portal that instead of using a filesystem can access other web-servers to get the pages for the users.
What would be a good way of doing this? Is there any existing products for this scenario?
Thanks in advance Roland Carlsson
Hello Roland:
We define portal as a web-based application that provides personalization, single signOn, and content aggregation from different sources. It hosts the presentation layer of a global Corporate Information System http://www.dbgroups.com/do/public/products/psi.do
In this sense, it is an aggregation of a number of applications which are traditionally accessed via a url (either with different ports or different context). User can continue to use different url (either to applications, sites, departments, divisions, etc) but these urls are all pointed via DNS to the same portal site which has different welcome access points. Depending on the requested url, appropriate welcome page is presented via jsp forward mechanism.
Each page in the portal can be configured which fragments it wants to be loaded to make up a portal page: meta description and keywords for search in the case of info pages, big picture to encapsulate the page in proper context, a small picture to actually describe the page, a complete site of the page owner (application, department, division, etc) such as the owner logo, menu, special offers, and copyright. Each application can be developed (or already existed) as a standard service or portlet application. This kind of portal will soon be demonstrated in http://myportal.myb2cb2b.com and delivered under existing standards.
