Weblogic Portal 10.2

Has finally arrived and what a fantastic package it is,
Bea have adopted unifying open standards compatiblity with 10.2 and
can confidently say yes to web 2.0 and many of the technologies in
previous version.

Including Xtreme Progamming, Agile methods, Service Orientated
Architecture, compatibiliy with
Eclipse via Workspace Studio, JSF, Spring , Struts , WYSIWIG, and Web
Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP)
WSRP is a interesting one allowing .NET Apps to run well in WLP. Mashups
is something you will hear more of and this is
the ability to re-use something that is already published to a web site
or portal in your new portal but rather than having to re-create the wheel
you just adopt in your new portal using WYSIWIG and mashup feature.
SSO - single sign on although not new in WLP has matured in this
version to something rather more usable (rather than just a fudge in
together in previous versions), improved deployment mechanism (zero
downtime ) make this a must have version of WLP.

I am now taking on migration work to the new version and I recommend
users of previous versions to get in touch if this is something your
looking to move towards.
