Personalization Examples

The Personalization Examples are intended to help guide J2EE and JSP developers in personalizing their production applications. The examples provide simple and practical use cases that demonstrate the extensive personalization capabilities of WebLogic Portal at the source level. Each example is part of a working Web application that runs in a browser. Within each example, a link to the related JSP source code is provided. Viewing this source will help you understand how to use and benefit from the wide-ranging personalization capabilities in WebLogic Portal.

While not intended to act as an integrated Personalization application, the examples have a common theme--the Music Fan theme. This theme provides a fun way to demonstrate how an application can exploit personalization within a focused domain. Using this theme, the Personalization Examples demonstrate Content Management, Rules, User Management, and Webflow in a single application.

You can explore five types of personalization examples:

• The user login example
• The content example
• The internationalization example
• The rules example
• The Webflow and Pipeline example
