看了些网上可以下载的基于.NET
的PORTAL框架,象RAINBOW,IBUYSPY
觉得比WEBLOGIC PORTAL差了不少.
现在我对.NET的整体感觉就是基本的
架子是搭起来了,IDE也很不错,但是
真正有利于二次开发的平台还不存在.
有些东西象CMS SDK,CRM SDK,很不错,
但是过于专门化了,SHAREPOINT PORTAL
又很弱.
对这些比较了解的大虾能不能谈一谈?

that's my feeling, since I dont see which end customers want to pay for that,
all I know are those big firms pay extra cash for those "portal" nobody would
really use.... (as EMC2 paid multi-million for those portal tools but never
used in their company)

They use portal for intranet publishing. Kind of cooperation between employees
or news publishing.

Hehe. Government will use it.
Zope is a good example. It's customers are NATO, national research groups,
bank of america and boston.com.
Hehe. It's useful. Sort of content management system.

hmm. I don't know.
But if the company use a good portal, they don't need tech ppl to help them
publish content any more. Almost every one can publish news and other
information. The company can save money for paying tech ppl and can make the
publishing procedure faster.
At least, they provide a lot of information online and they can do data mining
later.

I really dont see those "benefits" are worth the money for any portal...
those things can be done by simpler tools, usually nobody really needs to
publish content, for a company really provides feed, they have their own tool
to publish content, as I know.(we deal with many feeds)

I am not sure what you did in your company.
But for government, newspaper, radio station, they have a workflow like this:
1. collect informaiton by professionals who is not computer geek
2. they fill the content using a pre-defined template.
3. the portal can publish the content online
4. at the same time, the portal can generate the pdf file for hard copies.
So basically,
Model: raw data
Control: work flow
View: online web pages, pdfs, report ...
Just my thought. I think the most important part

at least what EMC2 purchased from weblogic is totally different "portal" thing.
we provide this kind of publishing service, but we dont call it portal either.
we have weather/news/financial portals just showing some news/information with
customization functionality... and there might be other product...
and the most important, IMHO, thoes 1-4 you mentioned down there, dont worth
much money... as the price tag for portal is not that low and many firms are
buying them, so I am still confused.

I agree that the tech part what I was talking about is trivial. It's just the
base of the portal. No company will buy something like that.
Maybe the important part is customized "business logic"? The workflow?
Which is called "solution"?
This is not the off-the-shelf product. I think.

Does this mean the need of this kind of system is pretty high? Maybe we
can do the same business. :)
Or maybe this is a lot of labor work. You know, labor fee is pretty high
in US. :)

That really confused me.
1. SQL server + java = not good performance. At least worse than SQL Server +
.Net
2. Why asp as front end? The solution has a portable back end, why put a
platform specific front end? Just want to use some ActiveX control?

company is more ready but it takes time....
you are not working, are you? in company, it's not really what is good matters,
some guy only know java was in charge of production, they rewrite java classes
all the time and they had to work very late every night to get things done in
THEIR WAY, taht's why java was used, they only know java and hate M$.
asp was used long time ago, we use pc version, some jsp but mostly as

I read a document from websphere portal server group a couple of months ago.
their projection of the whole portal market this year is like a few million
dollars, miserable compared with the application server market.

俺个人觉得实用的portal是intranet合作平台。一个分散在各地的group，大家互相合作
，资源共享，最后形成一个内部的知识库。
老实说，现在做的portal和当年的MIS没有什么区别。只不过技术更新而已。
web logic portal的介绍上说：
"to improve productivity and reduce cost by integrating and simplifying
information service".
呵呵，这样定义portal可就广了去了。
weblogic portal的功能模块包括：content management, search, collaboration,
interaction management and commerce.
a few million　dollars? 随便几个公司的project就不止这么多了吧，如果全行业就这
么小块饼，我想没人做了。
