Depends what you need exactly.
 Search feature( I guess it has lucene integerated)
Yes
 XML data tranformable into different formats(like HTML,WML,PDF) etc
 security(role base management and authentication)
Of course
 Ablility to easily add new pages to the portlet
Yes
 Personalization depending on users requirement for look and feel
Depends what you need exactly.
 Ability to quickly plug in new features.
Depends what you need exactly.

 Any help is very appreciated for me to decide if cocoon is the right one
 for us.

 Thanks,
 Anna.

2004-01-29 Thread Anna Bikkina
Thank  you for the reply. Please address my concerns mentioned below.

I have multiple applications which require logon. I want to make sure if the 
user logs on one application he does not have to log on again till he 
logsout.

I want to port all the applications to cocoon. Just want to make sure that 
cocoon has this feature of single sign on available.

Also for personalization I want to have differnt porlets for different users. 
And change the look and the feel of pages just like we do in my.yahoo.com.

Regarding adding new pages if I have to add a new page to cocoon does it apply 
lot of development. 

Our idea of moving to a portal server is to be able to add new functionality 
to our portal easily(in less time).

Thanks,
Anna.

Yes, this is possible. Obviously you have to do a little bit to get it
running as you have to pass the login information from one application
(or from the single login point) to the other applications.


 Also for personalization I want to have differnt porlets for
 different users.

This is supported.

 And change the look and the feel of pages just like we do in my.yahoo.com.

Yes, this is easy by just using different stylesheets for the look and feel.


 Regarding adding new pages if I have to add a new page to cocoon

No, I think this doesn't require more effort than it would in other portal
servers.

 functionality
 to our portal easily(in less time).

This is of course difficult to answer :) I personally think that the cocoon
portal is very flexible and allows you to change every detail if the need
arises.
In addition it's very easy to plugin new functionality.
And once you know how things work, it's easy to develop such extensions.

Thank you very much for the answers.

One other quick question. The support of CMS in cocoon. Has anyone tried it ? 

I was reading about the Lenya project by apache built on cocoon. Can Lenya and 
cocoon portal server be integrated to use the WYSIWYG editor? 

Thanks,
Anna
