About Stringbeans
StringbeansTM is a platform for building enterprise
information portals. The platform is composed of three components: a portal container/server,
a Web Services framework, and a process automation engine.
Stringbeans Portal is composed of a portlet container, and a framework for effectively administering portal applications. Significant features provided in the current release are:
- Deployment of portlets compatible with JSR 168 standard*.
- Portlet and user login logging to file as well as a database.
- Per-portlet access control based on user ID, roles, and arbitrary database relations.
- Portal views based on user ID, roles, and relationships.
- Themes mechanism for personalized look and feel
- Multi-column, menu, and full page layouts
- Portlets capable of displaying RSS headlines, multi-page tabular data from database tables, reports, charts, XML documents via XSL tranformations.
Stringbeans is deployed as a J2EE Web application in a container that supports Servlets 2.3 and Java Server Pages (JSP) 1.2 specification. EJB support is not required.
Current Stringbeans distribution, the framework and portlets, have been tested with Tomcat 4.1.24, but there is no explicit dependency on a specific application server. It is tested with SAPDB 7.4.03 and HypersonicSQL 1.7.1 databases. Support for other databases will be introduced based on users' feedback.
