Feasibility of migration of enterprise applications to portlet environments.

Publicerad 2012-09-07

Within the scope of present applications we wish to explore the possibilities to migrate or adapt enterprise applications to a portlet environment. The research should show what effort is needed to enable present services to be deployed in portlets and to which cost both in effort and technological restrictions.

Roughly, the following tasks should be considered.
 Evaluate the present technology platforms.
 Create a proof-of-concept on how to enable applications to run in portlet environments.
 Estimate the effort needed for a complete migration.
 Propose and demonstrate alternative solutions to enable the same services in portlets.

The student should have good knowledge in the Java platform and be comfortable with development. The student must also have a basic understanding in the servlet environment and how applications on servers work. Previous experience with portlet containers and the Struts web framework is a plus. It is also recommended to have some previous experience with version control systems and continous integration.

Tieto maintains and develops and broad scale of applications and systems, both in terms of functionality and technology. One of the greatest challenges within this area is to keep systems up to date to battle new challenges and to reduce maintenance and development costs. To us and to our clients, it is of outmost importance, that systems can support requirements by tomorrow users. At Tieto we face this challenge by making sure we have the knowledge to upgrade or migrate systems when required and with maintained quality.
