Quick Overview

The BEA WebLogic Portal framework uses Java Server pages (JSP), a part of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition specification, in conjunction with a special library of JSP tags, standard HTML, Enterprise Java Beans, Portal end-user and Portal Administration tools, and a pre-configured database to create Portal components.

Portlet Applications (referred to as Portlets) are JSP and HTML pages that present personalized dynamic content in your portal application. This content is laid out in the portal page by the Portal framework according to the personalized information stored in the Portal framework's personalization components. See the Portlet Developer Guide for more information.
