Subject: How-To Create WO application Portal
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2004 15:02:36 -0700
I would like to create for my company more of a portal environment for my
WebObjects applications.
Currently I have a single html page with links on it which take the user to
a desired application login page. So I have several login pages (one for
each application) and every time I deploy a new application I have to
manually update my application list page. Not Ideal
I looked brierfly @ WireHose, but I'm not working with WO5.2 only 5.1 (no
change in site), and even so my company probably wouldn't spring for
wirehose.
I would like to replace my application list page with a 'main' page that
has info on it along with the ability to login. this will then give the
user a list of applications they could run, based on their permissions. I
would like the ability to add new applications to my server, and have them
"auto-magicaly" show up in the portal. (I would probably have an admin to
to 'install' new applications so that they would show up).
If you mean like the user having their own website within a website(the
portal), then you are in for a hell of a ride especially if you don't know
WebObjects yet. Realistically form scratch I'd give you a year and a half
possibly two to get this done correctly. If you are fairly OK with
WebObjects then you know it's going to take you six to nine months to
complete this.
I say this because it sould like you thing it's going to take you a few
weeks do convert to something like what you are after. If I'm wrong, forget
I said anything.

Has anyone done this already?
I'm working on something similar to what I have said right now.
Are there tutorials, source code, pages I could consult?
5 or 6 WebObjects books and the offical documentation on the Apple website,
that's about your lot... oh apart from the list here and on
http://www.omnigroup.com/ and a few others but it ain't all that bad, when
you've cracked it you'll be glad you use it, and the reward will be well and
truly worth every ounce of pain you will undoubtedly go through.

Is there a commercial product that runs with OS X server 10.1 and WO 5.1?
tia for any information you can pass along to me.
