Which app server provides the best portal implementation? Oracle,BEA,Weblogic or any other?

I vote for WebSphere

Why?

I vote for WebSphere as well.

IBM provides lots of functionality for portal development, and lots of plugins to assist developing Portal applications using WSAD 5.1.1.

Why?

How about you? What is your preference?

In fact, I cant really think of any other good implementation for Portal, except WAS and WSAD.

I have worked with Oracle Portal. Have you worked with other portals other than WAS>?

Because I love WebSphere products

I'm daily working with WSAD and WAS, excelent tool, I'm not very experienced with portal solutions, but I suppose it will be great

.

I must learn about portlets and portals in general.
I have a little experience with JetSpeed.

I've just started a Portal Development project, which is based on ATG Dynamo Portal... Well, this is just my first hand-on real project on Portal development...

It's good... I've not used others before... Just my 2 cents...

I have worked with Oracle9i Portal2Go, however, I feel it is not that user friendly.

After moving to WSAD, I feel the 2 products are came from two different worlds.

On which type of project are you using portal solution?

And what about HW requirements? WebSphere need a lot of resources.

A banking application that needs to gather various info for the users, including stocks, FX, MSCI, etc.

In my PC, when i run WebSphere Server and WebSphereIDE that it's use resource very much. (In my PC :: RAM 1 GB and CPU 2.5 GHz)

And what about HW requirements? WebSphere need a lot of resources.

For Server, WAS 5 is already better than WAS 4.x, and for client, WSAD 5.1.2 is already used less resouces compare to the previous versions.

In the past, when I used WSAD 5.0, if I open 2 WSADs, my machine nearly hangs. (My PC is 2.4G CPU with 1G RAM). For WSAD 5.1.2, I can open 2 WSAD without any problems, and I can have other applications running.

Thus, I think IBM has improved WAS and WSAD a lot in recent year.

Are you also using WebSphereMQ or MQ Workflow?

A biochemical company's portal, which got contract management feature, products franchising feature and so and so... The company is one of the subcompanies of Johnson & Johnson...

Yup, the application need to exchange messages from HOST via MQ, and we are currently using MQ 5.3.6.

Nick

It looks I have the slowest computer here

, I have 2.6GHz but only 768MB RAM.

You are working in Portal projects in your new job?

How is it? What kinds of Portal AS you are based on?

Your PC has enough *power* to work around with WSAD 5.1.2.

However, if you use WSAD 5.0, I am a bit wonder you will find it very slow.

Thus, you might try to upgrade your WSAD to at least version 5.1.0.

I have just 128 Mb.

I have just 128 Mb.

wait, 128M can be able to run OAS 9i?!

You wont have any other applications running then?

Nick

128 MB is only for Windows, if you are using them.
