One tends to think of BEA as an application server and business integration vendor, but it has also become one of the top players in the EIP market.

WebLogic Portal 8.1 provides some of the best portlet and application development tools found in any portal, which is not surprising, given BEA's background.

WebLogic Workshop, included with WebLogic Portal, is probably the best tool we've seen for creating portlets, Web applications and Web services. WebLogic Workshop provides easy drag-and-drop capabilities, action workflows and detailed customization options. The only negative we could find in this tool is that it is a client-based Java application, rather than a browser-based tool.

And, of course, all these applications and portlets are built using common languages and standards, such as JSP, XML and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). WebLogic Portal Workshop also provides broad platform support, encompassing most Linux, Unix and Windows varieties.

While practiced developers will find WebLogic Workshop an excellent tool for creating advanced portlets and applications, even less experienced designers and site authors will find its helpful wizards and samples useful
