Welcome to the Jetspeed 2 Wiki
What's New
What's new in Jetspeed-2 (J2)?
Everything
Jetspeed-2 is a complete rewrite of Jetspeed-1. It is the next-generation enterprise portal at Apache Portals. It's hard to pick out the coolest new feature. Some may think that the component architecture and Spring integration, others like CMS-based navigation model, and others like the standardization of portlet development. Personally, what is cool to me is the new community at Apache Portals, and how Jetspeed-2 fits into that community as the enterprise portal.
The complete answer of what is new in Jetspeed-2 is:
Fully compliant with the Java Portlet API standard
Separation of portlet applications from portal
Live deployment model for portlet applications and portal layouts
Component-based architecture based on Spring
Multi-threaded portlet aggregation engine
Scalable cluster architecture
Pipeline-based request processing
JAAS security components
Apache Portal bridges
o Jakarta Struts
o Java Server Faces
o PHP, Perl integration
o Jakarta Velocity
CMS-based site navigation
SSO component
Web content component
Web services component
Jetspeed-2 is a part of an open enterprise development platform based on components and standards. You have an excellent deployment model and component integration framework that will enable people to write standard portlet applications and supporting components, and deploy them live to the portal.
Apache Portals provides a powerful integration platform for all kinds of enterprise software development. With Portals Bridges, you can now develop portlet applications with JSF, Struts, PHP, or Velocity. When the Portals applications project is accepted into Apache, we will have a community for developing vertical portlet applications that are not coupled to any portal server.

Quickstart for the Impatient
/QuickstartForTheImpatient
Portal Developers Documentation
This is designed to support the development of a new custom portal. It includes includes overall system architecture and all of the features that are configured at the portal level.
Portlet Developers Documentation
This is documentation that an analyst or a programmer requires to develop a portlet that will run in a Jetspeed portal environment.
/PortalDevelopersDocumentation
System Administrators Documentation
This is the information that a system administrator needs to know to install Jetspeed and get it ready to receive a portal developed by a third party or by an in-house development team. It deals with system requirements, installation and upgrade, backup, configuring the servlet container and tuning.
/AdminDocumentation
End-users Documentation
Since the end-user does not usually come into contact with Jetspeed, this is documentation is oriented to the administrative user and is about using the administration portlets that come with Jetspeed. This is also good reading for the other types of consumers mentioned above.
