Instant Portal for J2EE is a web application development framework. This means that it is a tool for developers that will facilitate the development of web applications that connect to an Informix database. Instant Portal includes a rich set of utilities that solve common developer problems that usually require large amounts of coding when creating JSPs, such as:

• Sending an email (with optional attachments)
• Sending pager messages
• Uploading an image or a document to the database
• Downloading large objects from the database to a local cache
• Performing complex calculations
• Performing e-payments
• Flow control

Instant Portal also includes four complete applications built with the framework that can easily be used and customized for a specific customer:

• Instant Mall (a fully featured e-mall that can house hundreds of stores)
• Instant Surveys (an easy way to create and administrate online surveys)
• Instant Postcards
• Instant Charts

I am one of the members of Instant Portal's development and documentation team.
