Hi,

Gurprit, In java Development, you have to build every thing from scratch. in Portal development using SAP EP, SAP has provided set of platforms and metadata based model which can be used to create similar application in a easier way.

You can use webdynpro, pdk or java based development.

As you have asked for the link, Please go through the link below,
