by Juan R. Rodriguez, Cristiano Cesario, Karla Galvan, Belen Gonzalez, George Kroner, Gianfranco Rutigliano, Ryan Wilson
Overview
This IBM Redbook provides an overview and hands-on scenarios to
help you design, develop and implement portlet applications using
Rational Application Developer V6.0 and the provided Portal Tools.
The sample scenarios included in this redbook target
Business-to-Employee (B2E) enterprise applications, but most of the
scenarios presented will also apply to Business-to-Consumer (B2C)
applications.
You will find step-by-step examples and scenarios showing ways to
integrate your enterprise applications into an IBM WebSphere Portal
environment using the WebSphere Portal APIs provided by the Portal
Tools to develop portlets. You will also learn how to extend your
portlet capabilities to use advanced functions such as cooperative
portlets, internationalization, action events, using the Credential
Vault to enable Single Sign-On, Web Services, remote portlets,
portal design and portlet debugging capabilities. Elements of the
Portlet API and the standard JSR168 API are described and sample
code is provided. The scenarios included in this redbook can be
used to learn about portlet programming and as a basis for your own
portlet applications. You will also find scenarios describing
recommended ways to develop portlets and portlet applications that
follow the MVC design pattern, the Struts framework and JavaServer
Faces technology.
Basic knowledge of Java technologies such as servlets, JavaBeans,
EJBs, JavaServer Pages (JSPs), as well as of XML applications and
the terminology used in Web publishing, is assumed.
