Publisher review:Jetspeed is an Open Portal Platform and Enterprise Information Portal. Jetspeed is an Open Portal Platform and Enterprise Information Portal, written entirely in open source under the Apache license in Java and XML.
Jetspeed is an open component portal architecture based on standards. All access to the portal is managed through a robust portal security policy. Within a Jetspeed portal, individual portlets can be aggregated to create a page.
Each portlet is an independent application with Jetspeed acting as the central hub making information from multiple sources available in an easy to use manner. A portal based on Jetspeed can make applications, database information and other data sources available to end-users through a single web site. Jetspeed provides a security infrastructure so that the information and functions made available to each user can be customized on basis of the user or a role that the user has.
The user can access the portal via a web browser, WAP-phone, pager or any other device supported by the servlet engine.
