Andrew, I had posted an email from the forum to you describing my current role and project scope focusing on uPortal and WSRP.
I thought I would also post up the information here to the forum to enlighten all that were kind enough to answer my initial posting about the uPortal time-line and WSRP support. I am hopeful that I can start a dialog with you or one of your colleagues working on uPortal to convince them that WSRP support is needed and to also offer my help in moving toward that goal. My company, Trident Systems, Inc. is currently working with the Department of Homeland security to create a portal network for first-responders. This portal network would use a base portal server, portlets, WSRP, UDDI, and some type of authorization mechanism, i.e. SAML, XACML, etc. The code base has to be open source, and hence the focus on uPortal as a solution. We are looking to architect this system with an enterprise level portal server with an active and open source code base. The main reason uPortal was being looked at was the JSR-168 and WSRP support listed as being part of the 3.0 release. Now that I know WSRP support will not be part of the initial 3.0 release, I was wondering if I could start a dialog with you gentlemen about adding this support in a post 3.0 release and what areas if any myself and my colleagues may help. I noted a few folks who were posting and commenting about the WSRP support from my previous posting and was wondering if you or any of them would be so kind as to contact me individually so that I can explain in more detail where our project is focusing on and to possibly understand where or if we could help. My contact information is: Thomas S. Pangborn Senior Software Engineer Trident Systems, Inc.
