I've been facing new projects and challenges in my professional career since the last month. My first challenge was on a project using IBM Websphere Portlet Factory (WPF) which is a tool for rapidly building portlets on top of a service-oriented architecture. Yeah, it sounds great, doesn't it? Like other IBM products it's based on Eclipse so I felt comfortable using it.
WPF uses models (saved as XML files) which contain builders (component that generates source code) and it also allows you use Java classes to do some tasks. It's pretty flexible but the documentation is not enough when you need to do something that WPF doesn't do by default. In that case, if you take a wrong decision it could carry a lot of trouble in your project. I'll write an article about this soon.
In conclusion, WPF is an excellent tool and has a good future.
