Report Excerpt

The Enterprise Portals Report 2008 looks at... Integration with office tools in Sun's Portal Server

"While WebDAV is supported in the portal, there is unfortunately no integration from within Microsoft Office or StarOffice. So, you can drop desktop files into the repository, but you cannot save directly to the portal from within your usual Office application..."

A new standard for portlet repositories

18-Oct-2006

The enterprise portal teams at JBoss and Sun have jointly announced the start of a new protocol for communicating with portlet repositories. According to the JBoss blog posting, "the idea for a standard repository protocol came after discussions with Sun over the interoperability of disparate portlet repositories with many portal vendors (as you know, they also have a portlet repository), and how we could offer a standard medium of communication between all players involved." As readers of the Enterprise Portals Report know, most vendors have their very own repositories to store portlets. These can be quite a mixed bag. The Portlet Repository Protocol standard intends to simplify the often underestimated and very time-consuming task of portal administration. If successful, the standard should enable administrators to make use of portlets from a myriad of different repositories from within one portal.
