By the creators of WSRP and JSR 168 portlet standards, this book explains how to develop JSR 168 and WSRP compliant portlets and how to test and deploy these portlets on Apache open source software. It is richly illustrated with useful code examples.
Due to the growing complexity of web sites, portals and portlets are experiencing serious growth. Portals help reduce complexity by allowing the dynamic aggregation and display of diverse content in a single web page. Portal components are pluggable parts called portlets. To be "pluggable" portlets and portals must satisfy standards. The authors of this book, all but one employees of IBM, created these standards: Java Portlet Specification JSR 168 and Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP).
