Is GateIn appropriate for a simple enterprise portal

[stewart.evans]

I'm new to GateIn and am evaluating technologies to develop a simple web portal.

My portal just needs to be a collection of sub web applications (around 50) with a shared menu and security model.  The individual applications need to be hot deployable/updatable.

What I don't think I need is:

1. User customisation

2. More than one portlet on a page

3. Other CMS related things

I'm sure what I want can be done in GateIn but I'm starting to think it may be overkill for what I am trying to do.  Can anyone give me some suggestions that may be a better fit?  Or has anyone done anything like this with GateIn??

Thanks in advance..

I think GateIn will fit your needs. I'm not a user though :-)

Thanks for your reply Julien.  I am currently thinking that GateIn would achieve what I want it to do but at the cost of too much complexity.

My current thoughts are steering more towards designing multiple individual web applications with some kind of pluggable common menu system and using SSO for security across them.

Can anyone else share the architectures you have used and lessons learnt for something similar?
