  • Why Portal or Why Not Portal? by Jeffrey Ryan   - [Clicks: 86]
    Many developers and software architects question why they should use a portal framework to create their websites. Perhaps a better question is why not use a portal framework to create your website. Read on to learn how a portal framework knits together the architectural elements related to user experience.

  • JSR 286 Portlets: Action-scoped Request Attributes by Ray Radhakrishnan   - [Clicks: 60]
    The recent Java Portlet Specification 2.0 final draft (JSR 286) addresses a shortcoming in the action-render model used in the current spec to be able to let the container take care of managing the attributes between action and render.

  • What's new in the Java Portlet Specification V2.0 (JSR 286)? by Stefan Hepper, Oliver Koth   - [Clicks: 115]
    Learn all about the second version of the Java Portlet Specification (JSR 286). In Version 2.0, the specification and the APIs more than doubled, and it allows you to implement most use cases without the need to have vendor extensions. The portlet programming model also provides events and public render parameters so that you can build larger composite applications out of your portlets and reuse your portlets in different scenarios.

  • gems   - [Clicks: 852]
    This project provides a collection of portlets that you could use in your own application. Think of these portlets as the little Gems that could be used on a Portal page. These portlets aren't large projects on their own (for those, a new project should be started), but instead, are smaller portlets like the ones mentioned below, which would make good candidates: - E-Mail Portlet; - Calendar Portlet; - Blog Portlet; - RSS Feed Portlet; - Calculator Portlet; - Image Viewer Portlet; - Horoscope Portlet; - Etc.

Projects:
  • MVCPortlet   - [Clicks: 481]
    MVCPortlet is a framework for developing JSR 168 compliant portlets using a pattern similar to Model-View-Controller. MVCPortlet provides all essential elements needed for writing a well-behaved business portlet. The framework provides a "ControllerPortlet" that receives all "processAction" and "render" requests. The request is delegated to a "processor" that implements the business logic for a specific request type. The processors may manipulate the "model" by directly accessing a relational database or via Java/EJ beans. The "view" is generated by forwarding the render requests to JSPs.

  • Portlet Repository Protocol (PRP)   - [Clicks: 29]
    The Portlet Repository Protocol (PRP) project seeks to define a common Web Service API used to communicate with portlet repositories. It will also establish the format and meta-data to be included when defining a specific portlet within a repository. This is a free and open standards project, that any portlet repository may implement, and any portal vendor may leverage, as well. Input from those respective parties is welcomed and encouraged.

  • WebWork MVC Portlet Framework   - [Clicks: 208]
    WWPortlet is a MVC Framework for JSR168 Portlet based on WebWork,Velocity, Spring, Hibernate. Using WWPortlet can minimize the difficulty of Portlet Development. During the Portlet development early stage, you even can use normal Web Container such as Tomcat, WAS as testing environment to develop portal application, and last deploy in the JetSpeed/Tomcat or WebSphere Portal Server v5.1. Using WWPortlet to develop Portal Application, you do not need to know any API & concept of Portlet & JSR168, you can develop your Portal Application just as traditional WebWork/Velocity application.
