1. Re: JBoss Portal vs its competitors
jimisola Feb 7, 2007 9:00 PM (in response to jimisola)I found the following information about Alfresco and its JSR-168 support:
http://blog.maxdunn.com/articles/2006/04/15/alfresco-architecture:
7. JSR-168 Portal Components
Alfresco supports JSR-168 portals that can be used in JBoss Portal, eXo Portal, any other JSR-168 compatible portal. It includes many different pre-packaged portlets including: browsing, space creation, uploading, versions, properties, collaboration, in-line editing, etc.
and in a very old blog post
Alfresco developed the system using the latest Java technologies, including JBoss Application Server 4.0, JBoss Portal 2.0, Spring 1.2, Hibernate 3.0, MyFaces 1.0, Lucene 1.4 and Java 1.5.
Alfresco obviously has good support JSR-168 (different portlets available).
However, another blog posts says that is uses "JBoss AS and JBoss Portal" which confuses everything.
As I understood it Alfresco can either run stand-alone using e.g. JBoss AS or integrate with JBoss Portal using JSR-168 portlets. Is there more to the integration with JBoss Portal than portlets, e.g. to act as a replacement JCR repository for JBoss Portal?

Yes you got it right, you can either run it standalone (the common way) on JBoss AS *or* use the provided portlets to use in any JSR-168 portal; JBoss Portal, liferay... -

JBoss Portal 2.6 has D'n'D
I've seen that, but it is not yet released... If I may ask, when is 2.6 expected? Would you care to elaborate on why JBoss is the prefered choice?

Does users and roles exist in the application server, so that they can be used by e.g. Alfresco and JBoss Portal or does a standalone Alfresco install mean different user management?
How about the JCR repository for JBoss Portal - is it exchangeable?
