Summary

Using the basic Spring Framework 4.x APIs, web portal creators can create their own platform to promote their personal philosophy, business, ideology, religion, and other concepts. Although it is an advantage to use existing portal platforms made in other language like PHP and Python, it is still fulfilling to design and develop our own portal based on an open-source framework. The PWP is just prototype software that needs to be upgraded to have a backend database, security, and other social media plugins, in order to make the software commercially competitive.

The next chapter will be about creating a simple document repository focusing on document management. If your personal web portal needs to have a Dropbox-like feature for any types of documents, then the next chapter will help you build that feature.
