Stellent Releases JSR 168-Compliant Portlets for Content Management
Stellent, Inc., a global provider of content management solutions, announced today the release of the Stellent(R) Content Portlet Suite. The new Content Portlet Suite is designed to enable portal developers to provide access to Stellent(R) Universal Content Management services, such as check-in, workflow and search, via Java(TM) Specification Request (JSR) 168-compliant portal servers -- such as BEA WebLogic Portal, the Plumtree Enterprise Web Suite and Sun Java(TM) Enterprise System. JSR 168 enables interoperability among portlets and portals by defining a set of APIs for portlets and addressing standardization for preferences, user information, portlet requests and responses, deployment packaging, and security.
"We're pleased to offer a portlet suite that enables rapid deployment of solutions requiring efficient access to critical business content and content management functionality. Content Portlet Suite supports content requests from portals in real-time, directly from the content management system, through JSR 168 portlets," said Dan Ryan, executive vice president of marketing and business development for Stellent. "Stellent has always been an industry leader in building both standards-based products and solutions that work with our portal partners' technologies. This suite demonstrates our continued commitment to creating standards-based integrations that leverage and enhance companies' existing assets, while addressing their needs to effectively manage and integrate large volumes of ever-changing content."
Stellent Content Portlet Suite enables users to more efficiently update, search and view content in a secure, personalized environment. For example, users can contribute portal content by checking it directly into the portal, which results in the content being simultaneously checked into Stellent Universal Content Management. In addition, users can easily track the status of their content in the workflow process using the portlets, as well as browse and search content in the Stellent system, based on user roles, permissions and metadata categories. Finally, Content Portlet Suite also provides portlets for the administration of Stellent Universal Content Management through the portal by determining, for example, which metadata options users will see and what their default values will be.
In addition to this out-of-the-box functionality, Content Portlet Suite enables portal implementers to easily build, modify and customize the portlets for specific applications. In addition, since the portlets are based on the JSR 168 standard, they are familiar to any standards-based development group.
"The adoption of key portlet standards, such as JSR 168, for building enterprise Web applications is an important milestone for companies in the software market today," said Shane Pearson, senior director of BEA WebLogic Portal for BEA Systems. "BEA has been at the forefront of the development and support of open standards, and Stellent's release of Content Portlet Suite underscores the company's interest in helping enable customers to deploy content-rich portals that can keep content up-to-date and increase efficiencies while helping to optimize a company's portal investment."
"Having co-led the JSR 168 Specification definition, development effort and expert group, we are thrilled Stellent has created a suite of content management portlets that comply with this increasingly important standard," said David Bryant, director of marketing for Sun Portal Products. "The Stellent Content Portlet Suite will enable our numerous joint customers to more efficiently integrate Sun and Stellent products, and tighten the productive relationship that already exists between our two companies."
"Validating and ensuring interoperability with Stellent's JSR 168 portlets again demonstrates Plumtree's commitment to the emerging standards," said Eric Zocher, vice president of engineering for Plumtree. "Both Plumtree and Stellent have been leaders in providing standards-based portal products, and our many common customers are excited to use Stellent Content Portlet Suite to develop content-rich Web applications."
Stellent Content Portlet Suite works in conjunction with version 7 of Stellent's Content Integration Suite. Content Portlet Suite is available today and priced at $5,000 per platform. For more information about Stellent Content Portlet Suite, visit http://www.stellent.com/CPS.
