Following the SOA philosophy of starting small, the portal server also offers organizations a core set of capabilities for getting an initial project up and running, explained Chris Lamb, WebSphere Portal marketing manager.
"The Portal Server contains all the aggregation and integration capabilities, so you can tap into enterprise applications using our adaptors for Web services," he said. It also adheres to current standards, including Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP), the OASIS standard for content aggregation and the Java Specification Request (JSR) 168 standard from the Java Community Process for portal APIs.
