Frank,
There are many "nice" ways to accomplish this with J2 using the Profiler.
Custom home pages per user, group, or role are easily supported. One can also select different home pages using different profiling rules. Once you get used to using the profiler, it is fairly powerful and flexible.
In your scenario, I'd suggest placing the "public" home page in .../pages/_user/guest/default_page.psml. Depending on the profiling rule you wish to use, you can also place other home pages in .../pages/_role/*/default_page.psml and/or .../pages/_group/*/default_page.psml. There are plenty of examples of profiling in the J2 demo site... default page profiling is treated the same as any other page as far as the Profiler is concerned.
There is a document in the profiler design-docs that discusses the J2 Profiler and Page Manager functionality. There have also been plenty of emails on the topic to this list. In the spirit of expanding this email collection, I'd be happy to help you select a profiling strategy that will meet your needs. Please provide more detail on how you'd like to segregate pages on your site by user, roles, and groups and we'll see how far the Profiler can take you!

Thanks for the response Scott. Does anyone know if there is currently a way to configure jetspeed 2 to use a different subsite (subfolder) or a different <default-page> once a user logs in? In other words, I'd like to have a "public" psml default page ... and then route the user to either a subsite or a different default-page based on their identity (aka: role, user, group, etc) once they've logged in. So far, I haven't been able to figure out a "nice" way to make j2 do this .... it seems that once a user logs in, they are simply routed back to the "same" default-page specified in the "folder.metadata" file ... but with new authorized tabs ...

Hi Frank,
Here is an example of both specifying document order and overriding the default page (this is defined the folder.metadata).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <folder> <default-page>home.psml</default-page> <document-order>marketing.ds</document-order> <document-order>news.ds</document-order> <document-order>products.ds</document-order> <document-order>tools.ds</document-order> <document-order>training.ds</document-order> <document-order>solidedge_main.psml</document-order> <document-order>solid-edge.link</document-order> <document-order>solid-edge-release-info.link</document-order> </folder>

There is probably a simple solution for this, buttttt .....
I've noticed that under "WEB-INF/pages" there is a "default-page.psml" file that becomes the "home" page for anyone who navigates to "jetspeed/portal" using the default configuration. I've also noticed that "default-page.psml" is not the first page in the portal .... it appears that the portal builds its page links alphabetically if no document order is specified in the "folder.metadata" file in any given folder. So my first question is this ... How/where does jetspeed know that the "default-page.psml" should be rendered first? ... even though it is not the first page in the folder order???
I've also noticed that there are subfolder for some security roles using
convention "_role/manager, _role/user" etc. I'm assuming these folders arethose
meant to contain default home pages for users who log in and belong to
roles? Is that correct? If so, it doesn't seem to be working. I put a security constraint on the "default-page.psml" file in the root folder to only allow "<roles>guest</roles>" and was hoping somehow jetspeed would "redirect" a user who logs in to an alternate home page in the subfolder with for the appropriate role/user ... no luck. Is this how it's supposed to work or am I dreaming???
Any ideas/hints/ridicules appreciated. Thanks. :-)
