Oracle Portal, part of Oracle's Fusion Middleware family of products, offers an integrated framework for building, deploying, and managing enterprise portals.

History and future direction[edit]

Portal was developed from the old WebDB code base. Another product, APEX was later also developed from the WebDB code. One can think APEX as a lightweight database-on-the-web version of Portal.

Oracle recently launch a new portal solution, WebCenter Suite. It is currently unclear if Oracle will migrate it's Portal customers to WebCenter or if they will support both products.

Portlets[edit]

Although predefined portlets are available, companies can also develop their own portlets in PL/SQL. Starting with Portal 10.1.4, one can also deploy standard Java-based JCR (JSR-168 portlets in Oracle Portal.

Integration with WebCenter[edit]

Oracle Portal content can be published as JCR (JSR-170) data sources and used in WebCenter.
