Introduction
Since the dawn of World Wide Web users have been accessing one Web page at a time. And that's been just fine. At first, excitement over the ability to provide platform-agnostic content to all users with network access or an Internet connection overshadowed any drawbacks or inadequacies with the new technology. Later, emerging technologies such as Java, JavaScript, and application servers provided application functionality, usability, stability, and performance improvements that have been the mainstay of Internet computing.
Now organizations need more. They want to not only surface their legacy applications, processes, and data in a Web interface, but they want to be able to do so more than one page at a time. They want portals.
A portal is a powerful Web site that gives users a single point of access to applications and information in a unified interface. A portal lets users view each application or Web page in its own window, called a portlet, and a single browser window can contain multiple portlets. For example, a portal page can contain portlets for logging in, searching, displaying news feeds, and managing appointments with a calendar application, as shown in the following Figure.
Portlets are arranged or grouped on portal pages, and users can easily navigate among pages with page tabs, drop-down menus, or other mechanisms to access the portlets they want. The portal in Figure 1 contains three pages: Home, My Workspace, and HR, whose links appear just above the Login portlet.
