Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
How do I use Click-to-Action portlets?
Click-to-Action (C2A) is a feature of IBM® WebSphere® Portal that allows data to be transferred and shared among multiple WebSphere Application Server portlets via UI elements such as drop-down menus. Development of portlets containing C2A functionality using IBM WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer is not much different than developing any other kind of portlet using WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer.

- Enabling Click-to-Action
When building IBM WebSphere Application Server portlets, you can enable a feature called Click-to-Action (C2A) that provides automatic front-end integration of portlets.
- Creating a Click to Action receiver portlet
In developing a C2A application, develop a receiver portlet first.
- Creating a Click to Action sender portlet
Once you have developed a receiver portlet, you can develop a sender portlet.
- Deploying builders that add Click-to-Action functions to the model
After you add the Cooperative Portlet Source and Cooperative Portlet Target builders that add Click-to-Action functions to the model, rebuild and redeploy the portlet WAR.
- Sending a Click to Action event to multiple portlets
Because C2A technology follows a broadcaster paradigm, sending C2A events to multiple portlets is as easy as sending C2A events to a single portlet.
