1. An apparatus for developing web portals comprising:
a computer processor configured to:
generate a plurality of modules from a web portal, wherein the plurality of modules is generated based on different schemes, wherein one of the different schemes comprises generating a portion of the plurality of modules based on page hierarchy, and wherein another one of the different schemes comprises generating another portion of the plurality of modules based on a predetermined module definition; andgenerate a plurality of portal versions using a plurality of selections of the modules, wherein the plurality of portal versions comprises gaps from missing modules, wherein the gaps are filled using both a null module stub approach and a silent stub approach, wherein the null module stub approach comprises adding a null portlet in a portal definition for any missing portlet associated with one of the missing modules, and adding a null portlet page comprising a null wire portlet for any missing page and portlet side of a wire associated with the one of the missing modules, and wherein the silent stub approach comprises removing any portlet associated with the one of the missing modules, and removing any page and wire associated with the one of the missing modules, wherein the selections of the modules comprise a local module deployed on a host of the web portal and a remote module deployed on a second host coupled to the host of the web portal.
