Chapter 6. Developing Portlets

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Creating a portlet with the Portlet 2.0 Specification
  • Using an action to pass form parameters
  • Using the user locale to localize portlet content
  • Communicating between portlets using Public Render Parameters
  • Communicating between portlets using events

Introduction

This chapter will introduce portlets through the Portlet 2.0 Specification. The Portlet 2.0 Specification defines how portlets work within a portlet container, and what functionality they can provide.

Note

The Portlet 2.0 Specification is known as Java Specification Request 286 within the Java Community Process, and had a final release on June 12, 2008.

This chapter will focus on portlets that utilize JSP as the view layer, though there is no restriction on which technology creates the view for a portlet. In Chapter 10, Frameworks in a Portal, we discuss JSF portlets.
