You might run into some issues if you intend to run the ArcGIS Server web adapters of 9.3 in the same Tomcat instance as Geoportal Server. if you do encounter issues, try with a separate Tomcat install (and port) for Geoportal Server. this should work fine. ... View more

In general: The Geoportal Server is the open source successor to the ArcGIS Server Geoportal Extension. At 9.3.1 and 10, the product was released as ArcGIS Server Geoportal Extension. In October 2010, the product was released to the open source community under the Apache 2.0 license and was renamed Geoportal Server. While functionally the same at the outset (October 2010) any further development has been and will be on the Geoportal Server. In line with Esri�??s product lifecycle and support policies, the ArcGIS Server Geoportal Extension is still supported (for existing users0, but for newly starting users, we recommend the Geoportal Server product instead. As an extension, the ArcGIS Server Geoportal Extension did rely on ArcGIS Server. The Geoportal Server does not require an ArcGIS Server license. On security. Geoportal Server has multiple capabilities in terms of security: from user authentication perspective, you can configure a single 'administrator' account without needing LDAP configuration or such. you can configure an LDAP user store based on open source technologies like ApacheDS or OpenDS, OR you can configure Geoportal Server with your enterprise user store (like ActiveDirectory or Oracle's OAM/OIM solutions). the last requires some knowledge of the structure of that enterprise user store and typically requires more configuration. This is because every organization implements user directories differently to reflect their organizational structure. We also support windows integrated authentication and single-sign on based on container authentication technologies. We also have abilities to use OpenID/OAuth. the items in the catalog can also be restricted from access by user groups. there are three modes here (see How to Restrict Access to Metadata). You ask a couple question regarding Geonetwork that are best answered by their user forum. ... View more

hi, in the config.xml you would include this to add the Geoportal widget to the viewer:         <widget label="Geoportal Search"                 left="100"                 top="50"                 preload="open"                 icon="assets/images/i_search.png"                 config="geoportal/widgets/Geoportal/GeoportalSearchWidget.xml"                 url="geoportal/widgets/Geoportal/AGSGptRSSWidget.swf"/>    this indicates where the configuration file is (@config) as well as where the widget is (@url). if you check out the source code for the (http://esriurl.com/geoportalserver) to C:\src\SVN, then the widget (AGSGptRSSWidget.mxml) can be found in: C:\src\SVN\geoportal\components\flex\FindData\trunk\src\widgets\GeoportalSearch ...

it seems to render the XML in nicely formatted HTML you pass it to a separate page that handles the formatting. is that done by applying an XSLT or different? we're looking to build a sample customization for the Geoportal Server (http://esriurl.com/geoportalserver) and perhaps your work could be a basis for that.

hi, yes, once the new Flex API and Viewer have been released by the product development team, the Geoportal Flex Widget will be updated as well. We have just released Geoportal 10, so if you have a license you will receive the source code for the Flex widget (and at 10 also a Silverlight widget) as part of the distribution. kind regards, Marten ...
