Which Portlet Bridge is made for you?
Speaker: Julien Viet, eXo Platform
Schedule: April 2, 02:00 – 02:30
Abstract: A Portlet Bridge is a technology to adapt a web framework to the Portlet environment. A Portlet is a user interface component executed in a runtime called Portlet Container in a similar fashion a Servlet is executed in a Servlet Container. Usually web frameworks are designed to execute in a Servlet Container, fortunately most of the widely known web frameworks provide a Portlet Bridge to provide integration within portals. Furthermore, the JavaServer Faces, standard web framework of the Java EE ecosystem, has its own bridge specification called “Portlet Bridge Specification for JavaServer Faces” that specifies the required behavior. The Portlet specification provides exclusive features not available in a servlet environment such as content personalization, access to the user profile. With the latest 2.0 release of the Portlet specification new advanced features are available such as eventing between portlet. Such features can be bridged between the Portlet and the web framework providing a native support by the framework programming model. This talk provides an high level introduction to the Portlet programming model. Then it focuses on reviewing the support of various Portlet Bridge. A few examples are detailed in order to illustrate the usage of Portlet advanced features with various web frameworks. The talk is targeted to web developers that wants to know which frameworks can be executed within a portal and the features they an expect for them. No particular prerequisite is required beside being familiar with web frameworks such as JavaServer Faces, Struts 2, Tapestry or Wicket.
