hello, sorry for the slightly off topic post, but i felt this was the best group to ask... we are looking at developing a portal at our company and i'm having some difficulties choosing between building the thing ourselves with J2EE and an off the shelf app server or buying something like the epicentric portal server (which can/does use jsp). so i guess my question is, what are products like epicentric (and other vendors who propose to have java 'portal' solutions) providing me that i can't do with J2EE and it's container architecture? have they simply done the backend development work that make it easier to build portals? and if i go with something like that, do i lose flexibility as opposed to pure J2EE? thanks for any comments/insight. have a great day! cheerio, chris | chris wilson || web dev ||| www.wondergeek.com || | =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
