Portal Samples

The WebLogic Workshop Portal Extensions include a sample portal application that contains two sample portals: Sample Portal and Tutorial Portal. You can view these samples in the WebLogic Workshop development environment and in a browser. You can also reuse many of the portlets in your own portals.

This topic includes the following sections:

Sample Portal

The Sample Portal, Avitek Inweb, is an example business-to-enterprise portal that illustrates collaboration and other services. For details, see Sample Portal.

Tutorial Portal

The Tutorial Portal contains development samples of portal functionality, including Authentication, Controls, Look & Feel, Java Page Flows, Internationalization, Backing Files, Window Modes, Portlet Preferences, and Portlet Events. Samples contain documentation on how they were implemented.
