JBoss portal does have a few limitations:

(1)default portal should be there as an example. 
(2)Virtual host not supported. 
(3)Navigation menu is urgly. Navigation portlet is so important that all deployments are needed.
(4)User portlet is not fully implemented yet... Example, once you update the profile, not any indication appear on the page. Nobody knows whether the update success or not until you try it out by logout/login.


But you can acheive the virtual host features or running multiple portal instance easily.

(1)I have running semi-virtual hosting on jboss. What i used to solve the problem is using "http redirect".
(2)i have my own generic nativation portlet. which  itsown is a WAR DIRECTORY. You can enter the directory to modify the configurations anytime.
(3)I will rewrite the user portlet myself in the next few days.
