We hvae explored JBoss portal server and we found it has some limitations for what we were trying to do. We are now exploring Liferay portal server. From what I read on their web site and other reviews, it looks like the best choice for a portal/portlet development. What also impressed me is the response from the development team. Like any other project in IT, I am in a very tight schedule, so instead of me exploring the portal server, I thought I buy some consulting hours from the Liferay team and I wrote an exploratory e-mail to sales@liferay.com and it was a Saturday and I got a response with couple of hours and in next few exchanges we even set up a conference call to discuss our requirements with the team and how they can help us. That sounds very encouraging. So, I will continue to post my experiences here.
In the mean time, I want to be able to install Liferay on my machine. I have a MacBook Pro mchine running leopard and I am very proud of it. I am going to be installing Liferay on this machine. I have spent some time on this already and have not been able to install it successful. It looks simple but i think I am making some mistakes. I have started fresh now and started the download of the bundle form the Liferay site. I will continue to post my experience here. Stay tuned.
