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 Dominoand Extended Products Portlets portlets can use URL addressability to programmatically integrate People Finder features. For example, other portlets can display a link for the Profile action and thereby access People Finder functionality in their application contexts. Clicking Profile displays the Profile inside the People Finder, which is opened as a pop-up window.

URL Parameter Possible Values
URLAction URLShowPersonRecord, URLShowOrgView
URLMemberID Member Manager memberUniqueIdentifier of the person whose Profile 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 WebSphere Portal, People Finder is a standard portlet and therefore does not support cooperative portlet methods.
