WES Portal
Provides a highly customizable open source portal framework to help organizations communicate, collaborate and share GIS information more effectively.
Overview
Compusult’s WES Portal enables administrators to easily manage users, groups, and roles through a GUI interface. Access to portlets are also restricted to users based on roles.
The WES Portal is a Java Specification Request (JSR)-168 compliant portal environment derived from open source (Liferay) and enhanced to meet geospatial portal access and display requirements. It is pre-configured with ov
er 50 portlets and more than 20 community-contributed themes. Through the WES Portal, users can:
- understand, discover, access, share and organize geospatial information and content;
- publish and organize geospatial information and content for others to use;
- develop or use existing applications and toolkits to access portal services; and,
- manage the WES Portal infrastructure.
WES Portal provides over forty useful portlets: Blogs, Document Management, Message Boards, Wiki, Mail, Calendar, RSS, and many, many more.
These bundled portlets are a great starting point for a portal deployment. They can also serve as a large code base of examples from which custom portlets can be built.
Portlets can be restricted for different users with its fine-grained permissioning. WES Portal allows administrators to easily manage users, organizations, locations, and roles.
In addition, the specialized geo portlets included with WES Portal supports both the BEA Web Logic and Tomcat J2EE environments.
WES Portal is a component of Compusult’s Web Enterprise Suite; a set of Internet-based applications and toolkits that support Web mapping, information cataloging, discovery, retrieval and delivery services.
WES Portal is also a contributor to the Open Geospatial Consortium Catalogue Services Interoperability initiative
