AquaLogic User Interaction (ALUI) is a powerful framework that combines portal, content management, collaboration, integration and search technologies, and provides key application services that allow you to build integrated solutions across diverse platforms and systems.

Every ALUI component is designed to provide a personalized experience for each organization and for specific groups and users. Using the AquaLogic Interaction Development Kit (IDK), you can create powerful applications to meet the specific needs of your organization.

• About the ALUI Development Environment: If you are developing services for AquaLogic Interaction, you will need to understand the system and prepare your IDE for use with the AquaLogic Interaction Development Kit (IDK).
• About Pagelets and Portlets: Pagelets and portlets are web applications that produce a self-contained, reusable user interface widget. Pagelets can be used for everything from displaying useful information to building integrated applications that combine functionality from multiple systems.
• About Adaptive Page Layouts (ALI 6.5): Adaptive page layouts allow you to change the look and feel of the portal user interface using adaptive tags in standard XHTML.
• About Content Service Development: Content services allow you to search external repositories through the portal and index external content in the portal Knowledge Directory. These services allow users to access documents and other resources from multiple repositories without leaving the portal workspace.
• About Identity Services (IDS) : Identity Services allow you to integrate established repositories of user information into your portal, and About Profile Services (PWS): Profile services are used to import information about existing portal users from external systems. This information is mapped to portal properties and made available to other services.
