Porting Struts Application to eXo Portal

Struts is already the most popular web application development framework and there are tons of applications around, built on top of it. Introduction of portlet as a new web development mechanism has created porting challenge for existing applications. Not all applications are easy to port to portlet framework. But most of the popular framework especially Struts has many bridges already developed to instantly port existing Struts applications to portlet framework. Framework bridges are portal server dependant but nearly all portals now have bridge for Struts.

Following article by Masoud Omidvar is good starting article, if you want to port your existing web applications built using Struts to eXo Portal. Here is the link -

    By any objective measure, Struts continues to be the most popular web application framework for Java.

    As of 2006, the vast majority of job offerings for Java developers cite Struts as prerequisite. According to OnJava magazine between their reader surveys for 2005 and 2004 the popularity of Struts remained steady. Likewise, the number of Struts articles published in all online journals also remained constant between 2004 and 2005. (For a complete list, see the Struts Central website.) New and updated books about Struts continue to be published regularly.

    While some people characterize the space of Java web application framework as being "fragmented", the truth is that more web developers use Struts than all other alternatives combined. This observation is as true in 2006 as it was in 2005, as it was in 2004. It's probably been true since Struts released its 1.0 version in 2001.

    Of course, some developers are finding that JavaServer Faces can be a faster way to write new applications, especially modest intranet applications. And that's great! More than anything else, every Struts committer wants every developer to get more out of every work day. (We're developers too!) As these new JSF applications grow in complexity, we're glad that Apache Shale is ready to do for JSF developers what Struts has been doing for JSP developers, year after year after year.

    Meanwhile, enterprise web developers who have standardized on Struts can be assured that new releases of Struts 1 will continue, even as we break new ground with Struts 2.

Web Clipping for Portals goes Mainstream

Lack of good web clippers (aka URL scrappers) in the market obstructs quick portal adoption. Web Clipping is one of the fastest methods for integrating existing applications with the portals. Though nearly all portals come with web clipper tools/ portlets but most of them lack the professional touch. Kapow and Clickmarks are two such companies in the market whose products are quite advanced in comparison to out-of-box web clipping portlets provided with most portals. Yesterday's announcement by Kapow Technology for the release of version 6.0 of "RoboSuite Web Integration platform" will definitely boost this market. Kapow Press Release

Firebase upgraded properties are not yet supported in Google Analytics App

Image
Recently I saw a message in Firebase Console to upgrade my Firebase property to Google Analytics property. Such properties are called Google Analytics App + Web properties in GA after upgrade. The primary benefit for upgrading the property that I see is that we can see all Firebase Analytics data in Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a tool that we all have used for years and it is slightly easier for me. I am also more comfortable doing analysis using Google Analytics than Firebase Analytics. On top of that we also get benefit of third party integrations like AdWords (now Google Ads) integration if we get all the data from Firebase Analytics into Google Analytics. So, I upgraded my Firebase property to Google Analytics property. The was a pleasant experience to see all Firebase Analytics data in Google Analytics in the format that I understand much better. But soon I realized that there is one important part missing. On The Go, I use Google Analytics App to get a quick glance of ...
