Open source firm Red Hat has released JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.0, an open source portal that helps organisations to build, deploy, integrate and manage on-premise and cloud-based applications.
The company said that the new offering is designed to reduce the time and cost associated with creating, deploying and managing dynamic web presences. By injecting a series of features related to the JBoss Open Choice philosophy, such as the JBoss Portlet Bridge, applications and developer skills can more easily be leveraged into the portal without re-engineering.
Red Hat said that JBoss Open Choice provides a flexible architecture to support various programming models, languages and deployment options. The JBoss Enterprise Middleware supports the choice of the developer and architect regardless of whether they are designing applications for Java Enterprise Edition, Spring Framework, Seam, Google Web Toolkit, Ruby, Groovy, PHP and a host of other frameworks and programming choices.
Red Hat is also announcing the availability of a Technical Preview of the JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform Site Publisher, a rich web content management and workflow product to address an organisation’s web content requirements, powered by eXo.
Craig Muzilla, vice president and general manager for middleware at Red Hat, said: "With JBoss Enterprise Middleware, Red Hat provides the middleware components necessary for organisations to standardise their application architecture with confidence using a flexible approach to accommodate user choice.
"JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.0 provides users the interaction capabilities necessary to build and deploy rich web-based applications."
