Portlets or Sharepoint Web parts OR Pageflakes -
we have new requirement driven user interface team go portal solution our user interface portlets igoogle. our enterprise architecture team recommending portal technology (jsr 168) , think on kill. after reviewing pageflakes architecture wondering whether can come lightweight ui framework accommodate instead of going portal technology. appreciate kind advice.
additional information:
it java shop heavy investment in websphere suite.
of course depends on requirements. in general think portals if want use features provide out-of-the-box (like login, user/role management, cms, etc) , prepared spend time in configuring/maintaining system. anyway jsr-168 quite old , limited, , should use jsr-286 basis instead.
you might consider building custom "portal". done javascript framework jquery, or if more comfortable using java-only, component framework vaadin. rely on framework's apis define ui fragments , use modularization mechanisms provide.
cannot pageflakes, seems simple , nice framework aggregating html content different sources using ajax.
as summary i'd say: portal, if want use (in , bad) advanced features. custom, if want have control , build simple "dashboard".
