Perhaps there isn't a straight answer to my question. I am new to portals, so I have been trying to research what is practical in terms of leveraging existing applications through a portal. I found these two articles. It is interesting that (according to the author) JBoss is listed as a likely misfit for enterprise integration. I know the article is dated 2006, so I'd be happy to read any rebuttals/opinions about the article. The second article discusses some considerations when porting J2EE apps to a portal. http://www.cmswatch.com/Feature/147-Portal-Marketplace http://www.developer.com/java/ent/article.php/10933_3346861_1 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4079640#...
