I would not call Cocoon a portal framework, it's indeed an XML framework and so much more widespreaded. But Cocoon 2.1 offers as an additional block the portal framework.

What's a portal? Hmm, I'm not an expert, but I would say it is one common user interface for different sources of information. This user interface should be highly customizable.
I guess you will find more information at the JetSpeed homgepage (http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/), otherwise at google.


Struts is only a "poor" formular handling framework. This functionality is also covered by Cocoon by the woody block.

Hi

I'm new to the world of portals/web apps.

What is a portal framework? What is the difference between a portal framework like jetspeed/cocoon and struts?

I'm looking for a tool/framework, which can help in development of a category of websites, which has basic features as follows:

1) Allows user/partner login and user/partner profiles
2) Uploading and downloading of data along with access control
3) Other features of a typical web site, like browsing with in a web site etc, fast loading of pages etc.


What will be right choice for developing such web sites - a portal framework like jetspeed/cocoon or struts web application framework?

Any leads/pointers will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Naresh
