Professional Portal Development with Open Source Tools: JavaTM Portlet API, Lucene, James, Slide eBook Download
* Portals provide a single, integrated point of access to business information for decision-making and collaboration, and are one of the fastest growing markets within IT
* A complete tutorial and reference guide to Jetspeed, Lucene, James, and other open source tools used to build and deploy J2EE portals
* Introduces readers to each open source portal server and tool and shows how to build and deploy portal applications
* Explains how to develop an effective browser environment and Web services for the portal
* Authors are experts in portals development with open source tools and supply code-intensive examples for building real-world portals applications
very unfortunate
I concur with just about every other reviewer.
But I do laud the fundamental premise of the book -- using powerful, mature open-source projects (apache lucene and james) -- to build a portal. Search and mail are the foundation of any commercial portal and I think the open source alternatives compete well here; however, they haven't been tied into a framework that you can deploy out of the box, so I think the authors tried to meet a very real need.
Professional Portal Development with Open Source Tools: JavaTM Portlet API, Lucene, James, Slide
Sorry for bad review but book is not for Professional but novice users and managers.
Just like a Poorly Architeted Portal - A Framework without Much Substance
Enterprise portal based on Portlet is very flexible for rapid development.
The remaining 5 chapters in the first part introduce several subjects that may be used to support a portal development, researching with Lucene, messaging with Apache James (for mail), object to relational mapping with Apache OJB, content management with Jakarta's Slide, portal security. I wish the authors explained to us other alternatives and at least some hints of why they choose certain open source tools instead of the others in portal development.
The second part is titled How to Build a Portal. The authors just do not bother to explain why they consider these 9 patterns are important for portal development and other are not, or they merely provides a partial list to demonstrate design patterns are still important to portal development as it is for any other development. Open source portal/containers are not covered much in this book for Professional Portal development.
According to the publisher, "An outstanding team of authors provides a complete tutorial and reference guide to Java Portlet API, Lucene, James, and Slide, taking you step-by-step through constructing and deploying portal applications." The book fails to deliver this promise.
An important text for portal development
This book helped me overcome some difficulties I had in my new portal development tasks and in understanding some of the basic concepts needed for developing portlets within/without a portal framework.
