People Finder interaction with other portlets
Portlets other than People Finder can communicate with it by applying URL addressability.
The Person tag uses URL addressability to communicate with the People Finder if People Finder is not on the current page. Other Domino and Extended Products Portlets portlets can use URL addressability to programmatically integrate People Finder features. For example, other portlets can display a link for the Show Person Record or Show in Organization View action and thereby access People Finder functionality in their application contexts. Clicking Show Person Record (or Show in Organization View) displays the Person Record (or the Organization View) inside the People Finder, which is opened as a pop-up window.
The following table lists the required URL parameters and possible values for implementing URL actions in portlets:
URL Parameter Possible Values URLAction URLShowPersonRecord URLShowOrgView
URLMemberID Member Manager memberUniqueIdentifier of the person whose Person Record or Organization View is to be displayed. Alternatively, the following Member Manager attributes:
- memberDN
- any valid input for byName query
- a valid entry of ibm-PersonAwarenessIdentifier attribute.
In IBM® WebSphere® Portal Express 6.0.x, People Finder is a standard portlet and therefore does not support cooperative portlet methods.
