- Exploiting the WebSphere Portal V5.1.0.1 programming model: Part 1: Introducing the model by Stefan Hepper, Stefan Liesche - [Clicks: 417]
This is the first in a series of five articles which can help portal developers and administrators to apply the IBM WebSphere Portal V5.1.0.1 programming model to your company's portal. This article introduces the various parts of the model, provides a short overview of portal technology, and describes how portals relate to the service-oriented architecture (SOA). You learn about the model artifacts--such as portlets, themes, skins, and portlet services -- and how you can influence a process called aggregation, in which the different pieces come together to create the portal page. Then, you see how two general concepts, security and virtual portals, relate to the programming model. Finally, you can download and experiment with a portlet application which illustrates the concepts introduced in this first part, and which will be used in future parts of the series.

Part 3 in this article series helps architects and development leaders understand how they might organize and break down tasks for the various units of work in a portal project. It includes sample spreadsheets that can assist you in defining, assigning, estimating, and tracking all the efforts that go into the design, development, and deployment of the portal. It shows how these estimates can feed into the project manager's overall project plan, and offers best practices for portal project planning. This article is the third in a multiple-part series Creating a new portal.

Successful portal projects require strong teamwork. A great way to kick off a new portal project is to hold a portal workshop. This activity gives the stakeholders an opportunity to come together to agree on the portal's requirements, features, and high level architecture. This forum also gives the team the opportunity to form, norm, storm, and finally get to the point at which they can truly perform -- united with a clear vision of what they are building and how they will get it done. This article is the second in a multiple-part series Creating a new portal.

Learn how you can cache data in JSR 168 portlets in order to avoid unnecessary backend requests. First, you see how to leverage the IBM WebSphere Application Server dynacache infrastructure to store cached data. Next, you see how to generate cache keys for data which is shared across all components in the Web application and which has a session scope. Then, you look at a second cache key generation technique to address the need for caching data that is private to a portlet window. An example bookmark portlet illustrates both caching techniques. This articles is intended for Java portlet programmers who are already familiar with the Java portlet API, and can create and deploy portlets on WebSphere Portal.

This article describes two approaches for passing information from legacy Web pages to portlets. The receiving portlet could be either a JSR 168 portlet or an IBM API portlet. It includes sample code for both scenarios in a download, which you can install and deploy. The samples illustrate the use of a static link, which contains pre-defined data, and a dynamic field, which carries runtime user input. The solution for IBM API portlets works in both IBM WebSphere Portal V5.0.X and V5.1.X. The solution for JSR portlets works in WebSphere Portal V5.1.x only.

A typical IBM WebSphere Portal clustered environment is comprised of several components including IBM WebSphere Application Server, one or more Web servers, a directory server, a database server, and WebSphere Portal. In a clustered production environment, WebSphere Portal administrators need a way to perform corrective and maintenance service on the various components, while maintaining continuous availability of your portal. This article provides detailed instructions for doing just that. You see how to take each component offline long enough to apply service, and then safely add it back to the environment. All the while, your portal keeps on humming.

Advanced Web sites typically consist of both static content (served by a traditional Web server) and dynamic applications (using a portal product) surfaced in a common end user experience. With the new adaptive page caching, portlet caching, and object caching functions, IBM WebSphere Portal V5.1 can efficiently serve the dynamic parts of a Web site while projecting the static parts into caching proxies or browser caches. This paper explains how and why to run an entire Web site -- including the static parts -- on WebSphere Portal with unified deployment, administration, and content management.
