The Address Book sample application creates a personalized list of contacts for portal users. You can:
Separate an address book into categories (for example, business contacts, personal friends, home improvement contacts, and so on), then assign address book entries to specific categories.
Update or delete address book entries.
Search for addresses using the last name, first name, or category, or view all addresses and filter them based on categories.
Perform searches using partial information; for example, you can search for all the last names that begin with a specific character within a category.
The Address Book application is developed as a standard J2EE Web application. It is packaged in the addressbook.war file, which you can deploy as a JSP portlet into Portal Interface. The application includes security constraints that restrict access to its resources.
