Live from Gartner Summit for portals and as published today, JBoss Portal project and eXo Portal project will merge into a unique one.
We have discussed this with existing users, existing partners, analysts and they all welcomed this news. Twitter went crazy too ;)
Each company will be able to focus on their expertise domain, eXo brings on a table years of UI development and JBoss brings it's middleware expertise to build a common platform and all under the LGPL license.
Mark Little, Sr. Director of Engineering, Middleware at Red HatThe eXo portal has some impressive functionality in terms of ease of use, UI flexibility and straightforward management administration; JBoss.org's current portal project has a robust engine, performance and security features, combined this collaboration project will help drive portal capabilities forward
Benjamin Mestrallet, CEO eXo PlatformOpen source software has delivered substantial returns on investment for organizations and we have the opportunity to deliver that same value within the portals space
The news went out today and has already been covered in several places:
- Julien Viet commented on the history (worth a read)

New JBoss Portal and SSO framework integration guide
JBoss Portal supports integration with various well known SSO frameworks such as CAS, JOSSO and OpenSSO. Basic integration with CAS and JOSSO frameworks is described in Portal reference guide but if you are interested in more advanced configurations, you can look at our new SSO Frameworks Integration Guide.This guide covers step by step instructions of JBoss Portal and SSO frameworks integration in various setups that are commonly found in software enterprises. Maybe you can find an answer for some of questions that have been plaguing you.
The guide covers these integration scenarios:
- Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server on same host (HTTP protocol is used).
- Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server on same host. Secure communication is used between JBoss Portal agent and SSO framework (HTTPS protocol is used).
- Integration of SSO server and more JBoss Portal instances deployed on multiple hosts
- Integration of JBoss Portal, SSO server and sample thirdparty web application.
- Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server deployed on different hosts. SSO server is configured for authentication against portal database.
Since we are focussed on delivering a high quality portal server, we always try to integrate various scenarios in our automated test suite. We currently have automated most of the scenarios mentioned above using Selenium and Hudson and you can see the test results at http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/view/JBoss%20Portal/job/jboss-portal-2.7-sso-selenium-tests/lastBuild/testReport/(root)/. Please let us know if your setup does not belong to one of these and we will try to include that as well.

JBoss Portlet Bridge CR2 is out!
This will (hopefully) be the last release before we go GA and move on to the 286 portlet 2.0 bridge.For now, the most notable enhancements (apart from bug fixes) are the addition of the PortletScope annototation for Seam components and the revised PortalIdentity bridgelet.
We also modified the Seam booking demo to no longer use its provided User database table. The app now uses JBoss Portal Identity through PortalIdentity.
You can check out the new features in this video:
JBoss Portlet Bridge - Lesson 2: Portlet 1.0 Advanced Seam and RichFaces from Wesley Hales on Vimeo .
To show off some new features in the CR2 release, I threw together a simple chat-client and chat-room set of portlets using Richfaces poll and Seam stateful session beans.
This screencast shows how to use the new PortletScope annotation along with the revised SSO/PortalIdentity component.
Source code for this tutorial:
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portletbridge/tags/1.0.0.CR2/examples/seam/bridgechat/
See the reference guide for more info: http://www.jboss.org/files/portletbridge/docs/1.0.0.CR2/en/html_single/index.html

JBoss Portlet Bridge CR1 Released!
We have released CR1 for the JBoss Portlet Bridge . Thanks to all who submitted fixes and enhancements. I also created the first of (hopefully) many screen casts that will guide you on how to use and develop with the JBoss Portlet Bridge.
In this release:
- The RichFaces file upload rich:fileUpload component is working. The component currently only works with the param createTempFiles set to false in your web.xml. Also, you must check for the response type is of type RenderResponse. See the paint() method for an example.
- The PortalIdentity bridgelet which provides SSO between your Seam portlet and JBoss Portal is now working with the current Seam 2.1.x Identity model. See here
for details.
- The PortalResourceBuilder
bridgelet received a noteworthy upgrade and now works (should work) in all browsers. This component is for portal pages that contain 2 or more RichFaces components in seperate portlet windows. It namespaces the auto generated RF javascript and loads it only once for each component.
- Better docs, scalability upgrades, markup validation fix, and many other bug fixes went into this release. See the release notes
for more info.
Screen Cast
Lesson 1: Getting Started With the JBoss Portlet Bridge. Explains how to use the bridge's provided Maven archetypes to do rapid development. Also shows how to get started with a clean install and only requires that Maven 2.0.9+ be installed on your machine.

JBoss Portal running on JBoss AS5 !!!
Well, to be more truthful a prototype is working on AS5 :) This is more than just a simple update to get Portal running on top of AS5, we are working to take advantage of the JBoss Microcontainer.The biggest change so far is with deployment. Portlets are now being deployed with a special portal deployer which facilitates the deployment with Portal runtime (formally the jboss-portal.sar). The runtime's structure has even changed from a nested deployment inside the sar to individual deployments.
For everybody out there who can't wait to give this a try, see http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13435. There might be a few issues remaining, so please bring them up in the user forum or open a bug.
Stay tuned, more updates to come as we move closer to a release.

Google Summer of Code 2009
If you are student and looking for a Google Summer of Code project, Red Hat has been accepted as mentoring organization.I've proposed one project so far, it is the same that has been proposed last year by Julien.
The project is a "web clipping framework" to create a portlet that would enable any web application to be run inside a portal. Simple web clipping portlets are easy to create but smart, customizable and fast ones are challenging. Unfortunately as of today opensource solutions haven't really beat the pricey proprietary solutions out there.
Let me know if this is of interest to you.
If you think of any other project you would like to propose and work on, I would love to hear from you !
