Chapter 5: Advanced Portlet Creation

Building messaging and application portlets

This section describes two advanced portlet implementations—click-across messaging portlets that share information with other messaging portlets and application portlets that combine to form comprehensive interactive business applications.

A click-across messaging portlet shares information between itself and other messaging portlets on the same portal page. When you define portlets as messaging portlets, they act together to establish a new form of Web application. See “Building click-across messaging portlets” for instructions.

Enterprise Portal lets you build interactive business application portlets to solve multi-staged business problems. Application portlets use information from one portlet for continued processing in another portlet. When these portlets are combined to interact and create collaborative functionality, the portlets become a virtual application. See “Building application portlets” for instructions.
