Chapter 12. Cooperative portlets

 <  Day Day Up  >  

This chapter describes the architecture and development of cooperative portlets, formerly known as Click-to-Action portlets. Cooperative portlets placed on a portal page can be developed independently but they interact with one another and share the same information. This enables an advanced user experience scenario where portlets automatically react to events and actions originated from other portlets.

After reading this chapter, you will be able to:

  • Understand the architecture and value of cooperative portlets

  • Develop source cooperative portlets

  • Develop target cooperative portlets

In addition, at the end of this chapter, you will find information and solutions to common problems in cooperative portlet development.

Note

The sample scenarios included in this chapter require that you have completed Chapter 11, "Accessing back-end JDBC databases" on page 343. You can also download the sample code available as additional materials. See Appendix C, "Additional material" on page 543.
