About Pluto

[Jin Yao]

Hello,

  I am working for a product which is an enterprise level application,  We are thinking to develop a portal with our own features using open portal portlet container.  I have some question on the portlet container

Is there any license issue with using open portal portlet container for commercial use

Is there any performance issue with open portal portlet container

If our portal is JSR-168 compliant,  which one is better: using Pluto 2 or Pluto 1.*
 
Thanks in advance

IANAL.... I would say no.  For instance IBM includes pluto in the commercial product WAS CE (based on apache geronimo which also includes pluto).  You should consult the apache software license 2.0 and draw your own conclusions.

Performance always depends on what you are trying to do.   With appropriate benchmarketing you can make any product look good or bad.

If our portal is JSR-168 compliant,  which one is better: using Pluto 2 or Pluto 1.*

Unless you are setting up an extremely simple portal that requires source code configuration changes to modify and has no user-modifiable features, you almost certainly want jetspeed rather than pluto.

If you are just starting with your portal I think you will want to use portlet 2.0 features.  I wish we had had them when starting the geronimo admin console portlet application.

thanks
