Helping developers understand such concepts as SOA, AJAX, and the best practices to consider when building a J2EEbased portal, this book reveals the tools and information necessary to develop portlets and portal applications in two ways. Part 1 focuses on building portlets that will adhere to the JSR 168 API standard, which allows developers who want to use any JSR 168- compliant portlet container to quickly build quality portlets. Part 2 extends the focus to building JSR 168- compliant portlets for the IBM WebSphere Portal Server and includes information on portlet extensions and WebSphere Portal capabilities that can be leveraged in a portal development effort.
