Programming instructions and examples
- IBM WebSphere Portal V5 A Guide for Portlet Application Development, SG24-6076-00
- http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246076.pdf
This IBM Redbook helps you design, develop and implement portlet applications using the IBM WebSphere Studio Site Developer and the Portal Toolkit V5. The information provided in this Redbook targets Business-to-Employee (B2E) enterprise applications, but most of the scenarios presented apply to Business-to-Consumer (B2C) applications as well. In this Redbook, you will find step-by-step examples and scenarios showing ways to integrate the enterprise applications into an IBM WebSphere Portal environment using the WebSphere Portal APIs provided by the Portal Toolkit to develop portlets as well as extend the portlet capabilities to use other advanced functions such as cooperative portlets, national language support, action events, portlet messaging, Credential Vault, Web Services and portlet debugging capabilities.
