| Hello all.
I'm on time pressure and
I need a quick answer what is the WebSphere Portal Server?
As I read in overview to WebSphere Portal, the portal - is just a web application running on WebSphere Application Server. Then what is the WebSphere Portal Server?
PS. Sorry for english.

| Sorry. The subject is: WebSphere Portal Server & WebSphere Application Server.
I found that WebSphere Portal Server is a tool that lets one to create portals and not WebSphere Application Server like.
Is that correct?
PS. I thought that WebSphere Portal Server is an application server with some mechanism inside dedicated for portals  .

| Yes. I know that.
Here is another question. We have to develop somekind of portal. Could we use Domino as a document repository and WebSphere portal as an access to documents?

Sure. WPS is a Java application. If you can write a JSP that calls Domino and retrieves a list of documents, and if someone picks a document, can open that document... then you can use WebSphere Portal Server to do that.
Of course you could just write a Java Web Application and deploy it in WebSphere Application Server to do the same with the same JSPs - there is no need for WebSphere Portal Server in your description.
Be wary of how you will get authenticated users from WebSphere Portal or a WebSphere Application Server web app to Domino. If the users don't match up then you may have difficulties.

| Hello, jruske. Thanks for your help.
Yesterday we got a specification for WebSphere Portal Express. It seems that it is shipped with WebSphere Application Server. Is that correct?
