I've been tasked with learning Vignette and setting it up is a nightmare. There are many different components in the wizard. If something fails, you get a cryptic error message and then have to start again. This is the worst "Wizard" since Kwame Brown. Are there other Portal servers out there that are easy to configure, or at least see...
I am overriding a lot of SAP's Portal functionality in my current project. I have to create a custom fixed width framework, custom iView trays, custom KM API functionality, and more. With all of these custom parts, I will not be using a lot of the style functionality implemented by SAP's Theme editor. What I would like to do is create...
I currently maintain 3 websites all revolving around the same concept. 2 of them are WinForms applications where the website gives a few basic details, and download links. The third is a web application to query data. I also have a forum (SMF/TinyPortal) that has been serving as a tech support/news hub for the three sites. The download t...
No matter what type of web application you are building, there is usually a generic template of features/modules that always need to be included. Note: These are high level modules, the details will vary per implementation. Here is my list, care to add to it? User management User Role/ Security Error Handling Localization Language Su...
Hi Guys, I have integrated SRM 5.0 into Portal.Most of the iviews are IAC i.e., all are ITS based services. The issue is that the Portal Theme does not get reflected on these services after integration. When a BSP or Webdynpro is integrated then the application reflects the Portal Theme when executed from Portal but the ITS services a...
I am writing a simple database with web access. I have previous experience with microsoft's (very!) old IBuySpy portal system. I am sure there must be something a bit more up to date I could use now! I want a simple light weight system that will allow my friend to have tabs with news and pictures etc, and it be easy for me to add tabs ...

Okay, my company is a bank. The upper management is dead set on a websphere IBM portal. Apparently IBM is tossing them a bone they can't refuse. We're also a very big IBM shop anyhow with A LOT of LotusNotes applications. In my experience with IBM, they generally make you go through them to learn their stuff. I'm having to sort of jump ...

Currently, we are using WebSphere Portal v5.1, and the URLs are about a un-friendly as a URL could get. For example: http://www.foo.com/wsps/portal/!ml/QjzQ0IhyR0UAkc39Aw!!/delta/base64xml/L3dJ82XzBfQ1A! I have removed a bunch of the characters, but you get the idea. One of our frustrations is that the URLs often end with punctuation...
It's been suggested that this might be a reasonable approach, in order to minimize changes to an existing server configurations, but is it actually valid/supported? I've not been able to find anything specific either way. In practice, with a JBoss Portal V2.4.2 server, there appears to be some class-loading issues, so things such as the...
Hi, I am involved in writing a little internal SharePoint portal for our company. I thought it would be a 'quick win' to get create a web part that would display the user's unread mail count, and possibly a list of today's calendar tasks. However, I have had a hunt around for information to do with OWA web services stuff and I can see ...
When creating the app store distribution certificate in the certificate assistant, do I enter my name in the Common Name field, or the company name?

This involves lot of portlets and i am inclined to use JSR286 specs rather than JSR168 Also, i wanted to use Spring Portlet MVC but 3.0 release is still in M2 and does not have proper documentation for the new features added.

I'm doing some portlet development for IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1. However, the deployment process is painfully slow. As this is my first time doing portlet development, I'm not too familiar with the various portal servers out there. I'd like some recommendations for a lightweight portal server on which I can deploy quickly for developm...
I am wondering if it is possible to leverage the Authentication, Membership, and/or Profile provider features in .NET to help integrate .NET web apps into my company's enterprise portal. In a nutshell, the portal sends custom header values to any application that is 'behind' the portal for fields like the username, user profile data, an...
