[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Please explain the Portal URL - /portal/portal

[hamptont]

Julian, I would love to hear your thoughts on this ?

I agree that it is useful to use a CMS along with a Portlet Server.  I just don't see the need for the two to be the same product.

The CMS should be a service that can be used to implenent Portlets to manage the CMS.  Why do those CMS management portlets need to be coupled to the Portlet Server to do that. 

I think an architecture that decouples the CMS from the portal server but provides a set of CMS Management portlets would be better.

Why is it necessary to couple the CMS with the Portlet Server ?  What extra functionality can you provide that couldn't otherwise be achieved ?

And if the CMS is so integral to the portal server why do you need a separate namespace for it.    /context/portal vs. /context/cms.  That looks like separate apps to me.

I don't care so much if the CMS is in the portal or not, since I'm not going to use it anyway.  But I do care that the portal URLs are being mangled to get it there and that is causing me issues with a production system.
