BEA ships WebLogic Portal 10

Last week BEA announced the release of WebLogic Portal 10. Unlike BEA's last major WebLogic Portal release, this release was timed with the version 10 update to the underlying WebLogic application server. Support for the new application server seem like the major news, but WebLogic Portal 10 also brings a bit of its own candy: Web 2.0 tools such as AJAX portals and mashup functionality, alongside better support for content management, and improved administration. All talk of merging WebLogic with AquaLogic, BEA's other enterprise portal, seems to have disappeared, also witnessed by the fact that BEA keeps WebLogic product management in Boulder, Colorado, while AquaLogic is run from San Francisco. As previously noted BEA WebLogic sales hit a bump last quarter and new buyers should consider themselves warned: Experience with the new release is still very limited, and in many regions of the world almost non-existent. Proceed with care.

I don't know any enterprise customer that wants — or believes it remotely possible — to obtain all those services from a single vendor. No, this is a vendor fantasy, getting peddled by analyst shills.
