 //Simple Example Code to make a link to Google:
 //nested class implementing ISciElement
 class LinkElement implements ISciElement
 {
  private org.w3c.dom.Document m_doc;
  public Node getRootNode()
  {
   return m_doc.getDocumentElement();
  }
  public LinkElement()
  {
     m_doc = new CoreDocumentImpl();
   //make an anchor element
   Element link = m_doc.createElement("a");
   //set the correct namespace so the portal will treat it as raw html
   link.setAttribute("xmlns","http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
   //set the href
   link.setAttribute("href", "http://www.google.com");
   //create a text node for the link text
   Node textNode = m_doc.createTextNode("google");
   link.appendChild(textNode);
   m_doc.appendChild(link);
  }
 }
 // use this in getPageContent:
 public String getContent(int pageNumber, NamedValueMap pageInfo) throws ServiceException
 {
  SciPage page = new SciPage();
  ISciElement linkElement = new LinkElement();
  page.add(linkElement);
  return page.toString();
