Liferay / Alfresco
On the back of getting Confluence up and running on Glassfish, on a Mac Mini, I’m now going to attempt to cram Liferay and Alfresco on there too, as I’d quite like to get a handle on the performance and footprint of the the two products. If it’s relatively low-fat, I can see that we could leverage this for rapid deployment point solutions - again on Glassfish as our chosen J2EE server.
Update: I was talking nonsense. I looked at the installers for Liferay and they made me cry real tears at how horrid the distributions were. I’ve resolved to go and ‘do’ Open Portal instead, just as soon as I can extract myself from Facebook (which will be some day real soon now that I’m all Facebooked out).
Right - apology time. I’ve pulled my head out of Facebook and come back to thinking about the Liferay / Alfresco post I originally made. I stand corrected on the ease of deployment front - I think I must have been in a very tired and dejected place then. Lucikly, Eduardo posted a little snippet saying that all was good with the world and that Liferay are distributing an official Liferay / Glassfish bundle.
As recompense, I’ll run a review asap [I have to for work sanity anyway :)]
