Hi Everyone,
I am very little idea about portals and am thrust into a task which needs extensive research on portals. Here's my problem...
I have a web-application. Its a huge one. Currently it uses Struts/Tiles for the front end. Now a new requirement has come in which needs another layer to be added in front of the application, hosted on a portal server which only displays the favorite tiles of the user and have Portal-like customization capability. So when a user logs in to the web application, the user does not go to his home page by default but he is taken to the favorites page showing only a few of the tiles that he has set as favorites. But when the user clicks on any of the link he would be taken to second layer which is the original application that we already have built.
Converting the whole application into portals/portlets isn't an option. That would need a whole lot of re-work!
Now my question is...
1. Can this be done through portals/portlets? I read something about Web Clipping. But since i don't know much about Portlets, I would like to know from you guys.
2. Which Portal Tool can be used and would be best suited for this? I have short-listed a few, could you please tell me which one would serve the purpose best? And if i missed anything please add to the list:
1. Apache Jetspeed 2.2.0
2.
JBoss Portal Platform 2.7.1
3. Liferay Portal 2.5.3
