• JSR - 168 -- The Portlet Specification by Enrique Lara   - [Clicks: 246]
  JSR 168: Portlet Specification was constructed "to enable interoperability between Portlets and Portals." This article will focus on the Portlet side of things, by showing how to create a simple Portlet and deploying that into a Portal. We will then refactor and extend the Portlet to see how some of the patterns of Servlet development might be used. Along the way we will exercise different aspects of the API available to a JSR--168 Portlet developer. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with Java, Web applications, and Maven.

• Build and test JSR 168-compliant portlets with Apache Pluto by Kulvir Singh Bhogal, Mark Talbot   - [Clicks: 548]
  With Apache Pluto, Java developers have a freely available tool for testing whether their portlets comply with the JSR 168 Portlet Specification. Developers Mark Talbot and Kulvir Singh Bhogal take you on a guided tour of portlet testing. You'll install Pluto and build, compile, package, and deploy a simple portlet to Pluto to test it for JSR 168 compliance. You'll also get a hint of what's in store for the next version of the Portlet Specification.

• Designing A Successful Portal Deployment by Quinton Wall   - [Clicks: 278]
  Portals often fall into two major categories: those that consolidate services or applications into a single point of access, and those that are focused on building a community by providing communication tools (calendars, message boards, and so on). Very often these two categories are present in each portal implementation. Going live on a portal project does not mean the completion of a project. This is especially true in the case of a community-driven site. This article intends to identify a number of best practices before and after go-live that may assist in the success of your project.

• Portlet Development Workbook by Tim Hanis   - [Clicks: 380]
  This hands-on workbook guides you through learning how to develop portlets using the Java Standard Portlet API (JSR 168). In addition to getting practice using the basic API, you learn about the issues and challenges associated with portlet development. With this foundation, you can see how the frameworks can help you. You learn the concepts of portlet development by developing a working example. Along the way, you learn what you are doing and why so that you can truly gain an understanding of what is being accomplished and why certain approaches and decisions were chosen. Portlet code is provided for each chapter so that, if you do get stuck, you can refer to the solution for that topic area. So, immerse yourself in portlet development, and work at your own pace.
