  This article details similarities and differences between the Java Standardization Request for the Java Portlet Specification (hereafter called JSR 168) and the IBM Portlet API supported by IBM WebSphere Portal Version 5.0. It explains the basic concepts and features of JSR 168, compares them to the IBM Portlet API, and provides an example portlet of each of the two portlet programming interfaces. This article is intended for portlet developers and portal architects who have a good understanding of Java programming, servlet or portlet programming, and who have basic knowledge about portals.

• Making of MetroSphere, Part 25: Concrete portlets and using persistent data by Nicholas Chase   - [Clicks: 69]
  This tutorial is for WebSphere Portal developers who need to associate persistent data with portlets, whether that data represents settings such as database usernames and passwords or user-specific customization choices. It takes the user theme portlets built in Part 24 of this series, "The ultimate portal theme," and merges the separate portlets into a single portlet with configuration choices. It also details the creation of a portlet users can edit to show their own particular favorite sites.

• Making of MetroSphere, Part 24: Giving the user control - the ultimate portal theme by Nicholas Chase   - [Clicks: 101]
  The heart of the MetroSphere site is the community weblog, but we also want to give users the ability to create pages that reflect their own personalities. Portal enables an administrator to add a new theme to the site, but because allowing users to add a new theme involves unacceptable security risks, built-in capabilities limit user control to selecting from available themes. This tutorial explains how to give users much of the same power they would have by creating a new theme without actually creating one.
