Using Oracle Weblogic for building Enterprise Portal functions

Modern enterprises more and more demand from their IT organizations to take the role of a service provider, provide them services with a minimum of lead-time and on a pay-per-use model. Enterprise business users and even the IT organizations do have a growing desire to be able to request services, in the widest sense of the word, directly in a self-service manner. Modern cloud solutions and especially hybrid cloud solutions provide in potential the answer to this question.

Building a portal to help enterprises answer this question can be done by using many techniques and many architectures. In a recent blogpost at the Capgemini website I launched the first step to create a open blueprint for an Enterprise portal. The solution is not opensource however the architecture is open and free for everyone to use. The solution is based upon Oracle Weblogic and other Oracle components. The intention is to create a set of posts over time to expand on this subject.
