I don't think there will be any need for complicated standards like portlets and WSRP...]]> Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:41:10 -0400 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:41:10 -0400 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:41:10 -0400 Jun 29, 2011 Aaron Anderson 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=62547 I'll give a different account based on my experience.  It's just ok if you want what they have out of the box.  As soon as you want to start writing your own portlets, you'll pull your hair out.  Things will seem fine at first, but the...]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 21:06:40 -0400 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 21:06:40 -0400 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 21:06:40 -0400 Jun 23, 2011 nothanku 1 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=62547 Having written a full blown health informatics application using ActionScript/Flex 4.
