People Finder interaction with other portlets
Other portlets can use the People Finder 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 of the portal. Other Domino and Extended Products Portlets portlets can use URL addressability to programmatically integrate People Finder features. For example, other portlets can display links for Show Person Record and Show in Organization View actions 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
URLShowOrgViewURLMemberID 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 6.0, People Finder is a standard portlet and therefore no longer supports cooperative portlet methods.
