Wiring portlets

In order to create a wire for either a JSR compliant portlet or an IBM portlet, you may use the Portlet Wiring Tool. A JSR compliant portlet cannot be wired to an IBM portlet and vice-versa. For IBM portlets which use Click-to-Action, a simpler alternative to the wiring tool is available. Wires can be created within the portlet by holding CTRL while clicking on the Click-to-Action icon and confirming through a dialog that the user wishes to automate the current action choice. To successfully support the simpler alternative for wiring, the name attribute of the <c2a:encodeProperty/> tag used to render the Click-to-Action icon must refer to an output property that has been registered with the property broker. If the Java API call getActionTriggerControl or generateActionTriggerMarkup is used instead of the tag, the property passed to the call must be a registered output property. See Developing portlets for cooperation for more information on registering properties.

For more information on wires, see the Property transfer using wires section or the Wires topic in Programmatic approach available for both JSR compliant and IBM portlets.
