[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Newbie question - Customizing presentation based on user pro

My environment: JBoss Portal 2.6 Database Vendor and Version : Oracle 10g OS Platform : windows XP My requirement is as follows: I am new to portal technology as such and JBoss portal in particular. I want to create a company intranet portal which is customizable based on the user login. Each user belongs to a different department within the company and lets say there are two departments in the firm. When user John belonging to the Legal department logs in, I want him to see data from the Legal applications and when user David from the Travel department logs in, I want to show him application data from applications related to travel. So this information is driven by data stored about the user in the database much earlier. Question is: I can think of identifing portlets based on the user-profile, but how do I tell Jboss portal about how to arrive at a layout - because based on the no. of applications relevant to the user (identified at runtime) the layout might be for 2 portlets or 4 portlets. What portal API would I use for getting this customization to work. Since this is a common requirement, I am sure its supported by JBoss portal and many of you might have already implemented this feature. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
