43 Make it Scalable

44 Make it Scalable: Clustering

45 Make it Scalable: Clustering Two goals of clustering Scalability Fault Tolerance

46 Make it Scalable: Clustering Two goals of clustering Scalability Fault Tolerance Key elements of JBoss clustering Federated Naming (HA-JNDI) Session Replication Load Balancing Messaging Distributed Cache

47 Apache Integration Software Load Balancing JBoss Portal Platform can be fronted by a Hardware Load Balancer or a Software Based Solution

48 Intelligent Load Balancing with mod_cluster

49 Intelligent Load Balancing with mod_cluster Intelligent software HTTP load balancer

50 Intelligent Load Balancing with mod_cluster Intelligent software HTTP load balancer Based on mod_proxy, mod_ajp

51 Intelligent Load Balancing with mod_cluster Intelligent software HTTP load balancer Based on mod_proxy, mod_ajp Load-balancing logic uses App. Server generated Metrics / Events

52 Intelligent Load Balancing with mod_cluster Intelligent software HTTP load balancer Based on mod_proxy, mod_ajp Load-balancing logic uses App. Server generated Metrics / Events Memory Usage, active sessions, application disabled, server shutdown, etc.

53 Intelligent Load Balancing with mod_cluster Intelligent software HTTP load balancer Based on mod_proxy, mod_ajp Load-balancing logic uses App. Server generated Metrics / Events Memory Usage, active sessions, application disabled, server shutdown, etc. Uses MCMP (Mod Cluster Management Protocol)

54 Intelligent Load Balancing with mod_cluster Intelligent software HTTP load balancer Based on mod_proxy, mod_ajp Load-balancing logic uses App. Server generated Metrics / Events Memory Usage, active sessions, application disabled, server shutdown, etc. Uses MCMP (Mod Cluster Management Protocol) Uses Discovery to reduce static dependencies

61 Node Communication JBossCache and JGroups work together

62 Replication - Sharing State HTTPSession and Granularity

63 Scalability Factors: - Traffic and Work Load - State Replication

64 Make it Secure

65 Flexible and Open Security Capabilities Support for JAAS, JACC Various Login Modules integrate: Flat Files, Databases,LDAP Certificate-based Auth Ability to stack modules Support of SSL, MTOM Configuration isolated from your applications DynamicLoginModule allows app to determine security JBossWeb JBoss Portal Platform ClientLoginModule UsersRolesLoginModule DBServerLoginModule LDAPLoginModule LDAPExtLoginModule BaseCertLoginModule RoleMappingLoginModule CUSTOM_LoginModule JBossSX Invokers Data Store User Store

66 Extend User Profiles Beyond Your Authorization Store

67 Extend User Profiles Beyond Your Authorization Store Integration to LDAP or Database

68 Extend User Profiles Beyond Your Authorization Store Integration to LDAP or Database Extendible Interfaces (4 Services, 2 Interfaces)

69 Extend User Profiles Beyond Your Authorization Store Integration to LDAP or Database Extendible Interfaces (4 Services, 2 Interfaces) Roles

70 Extend User Profiles Beyond Your Authorization Store Integration to LDAP or Database Extendible Interfaces (4 Services, 2 Interfaces) Roles Users

71 Extend User Profiles Beyond Your Authorization Store Integration to LDAP or Database Extendible Interfaces (4 Services, 2 Interfaces) Roles Users Membership

72 Extend User Profiles Beyond Your Authorization Store Integration to LDAP or Database Extendible Interfaces (4 Services, 2 Interfaces) Roles Users Membership Profiles

73 PicketLink Identity Management

74 Group Membership Highly Configurable

75 Reduce exposure via WSRP Portals have one request in, one request out. WSRP provides a nice way to mask the implementation complexity and exposure <<WSRP>> Struts App Seam JSP JSF

76 Single Sign On Computer Associates SiteMinder Tivoli Access Manager WebSeal JOSSO Kerberos SPNEGO Active Directory Many Others

77 Security Summary Abstract security infrastructure away from the applications Use JAAS to make your applications portable

78 Make it Repeatable

79 Make Platform Templates

80 Make Platform Templates Properties Services

81 Make Platform Templates Properties Services Templatize your deployments

82 Make Platform Templates Properties Services Templatize your deployments Override settings per environment

83 Make Platform Templates Properties Services Templatize your deployments Override settings per environment Further customization overrides for server or instance

84 Make Platform Templates Properties Services Templatize your deployments Override settings per environment Further customization overrides for server or instance

85 Make Platform Templates Properties Services Templatize your deployments Override settings per environment Further customization overrides for server or instance General Template Environment Properties Local Properties <setting>${ldap.name}</setting> <localip>${local.ip}</localip> ldap.name=testldap local.ip=

86 Portlet Metadata Using portlet metadata maintains consistency between environments.

87 Make it Worthwhile Reuse your existing investments

88 Struts App SpringMVC JSF Seam JSP

89 Struts App Integrate existing applications SpringMVC JSF Seam JSP

90 Struts App Integrate existing applications Give development staff choice SpringMVC JSF Seam JSP

91 Struts App Integrate existing applications Give development staff choice Get well defined contracts for eventing from the container. SpringMVC JSF Seam JSP

92

93 Content Management Systems Consider a content-stage environment Isolate functional content and services from editorial Interop with Alfresco, Vignette, Day, exo Site Publisher

94 What is a Bridge, and why do we need one? There are many different bridges to handle different web applications. Wicket Seam Spring MVC JSF Struts PHP

95 Allows JSF 1.2, JSF 2, RichFaces, and Seam to run as portlets Extensions and components Backed by a healthy community, documentation, screen-casts, and maven archetypes

96 Make it Manageable

97 Management Needs

98 Management Needs Need to monitor server status and resources

99 Management Needs Need to monitor server status and resources Ability to stop/start resources

100 Management Needs Need to monitor server status and resources Ability to stop/start resources Alerts for various thresholds or events

101 Management Needs Need to monitor server status and resources Ability to stop/start resources Alerts for various thresholds or events Differing roles for administrators and developers

102 Portal Manageability Factors

103 Portal Manageability Factors Visibility Provisioning Management Alerting Patching Deployment Security Sizing and load Performance

104 JBoss Operations Network A single view for managing all types of JBoss deployments

105 Visibility through JON

106 Monitoring applications through JON

107 Control Deployments Through JON

108 In Conclusion Portal provides a standard framework Customizable Increase a company s efficiency Increase adaptability Faster and easier to fulfill business needs Easier to support infrastructure.
