The evolution of programming languages was the bulwark on which the extensive usage of computers manifested itself with humongous proportions. Development and design of fourth and fifth generation programming languages with advanced features to minimize and ease the conceptualization process and aid the creation of cutting-edge applications and products have deemed the increasing need and demand of state-of-the-art enterprise level applications, necessary and inevitable.The years that have gone by, have seen many a programming language buckle at its knees and surrender owing to its inability to adapt to the swift changes in the development techniques and methodologies.The lone warrior standing amidst this perpetual degeneration is the Java programming language.

Portals originally came to exist to help users to find information on the World Wide Web. As more and more information became available on the World Wide Web, it became very difficult to find useful information without knowing first where to look. The early web portals consisted mainly of simple search engines. These tools returned a list of web sites containing user-specified keywords and/or phrases. Soon after the creation of web- enabled search engines, it became obvious that users needed more than an unsorted list of thousands of web sites containing the specified keywords. This need led to the development of web portals. The early portals were essentially web search engines containing various categories that could be searched and explored independent of the rest of the web. Many search engines today still have this feature …
Over the last decade we learned how to construct software systems using patterns that adhered to the concepts of object orientation. Now, service orientation requires us to adapt to a new approach to system integration and application development. However, at the moment most of us are still learning about this new technology and so we tend to apply familiar patterns when building Web services-based applications.
