Geoportal Server v 1.0 What's New

Geoportal Server version 1.0 is the first supported release of source code for the Geoportal Server. The big change between Geoportal Server version 1.0 and the Esri ArcGIS Server Geoportal extension version 10 (besides Geoportal Server being open source) is that the geoportal web application has been updated to use the JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0 framework. This does not change the Geoportal Server functionality, but does offer the following benefits:

• Geoportal compatible with newer framework technologies, such as Java 7.
• More unified behavior across different application servers. For example, in the past separate code was maintained for GlassFish and Tomcat. With JSF 2.0, this is not necessary.
