I have heard great things about Wirehose. You might want to check that
out. There are other solutions too. For the $1000 or so they are
definitely worth it!

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.
