Portal Server Community Portlets

Portal Server provides portlets for communities and community members. This topic describes two of these portlets:

• Portal Server Wiki Portlet

• Portal Server Blog Portlet

Portal Server Wiki Portlet

Portal Server provides a wiki portlet that uses JSPWiki, built around standard J2EE^TM technology. The portlet enables portal users to participate in communities and to create collaborative content.

The portlet provides a community with an initial set of default pages and allows communities to do the following:

• Create its own wiki

• Link between wikis

• Tie wiki permissions to community membership

Administrators can add channels for community content and services to a wiki community. The sample enterprise portal uses a default wiki. For more information, see the Sun Java System Portal Server 7.2 Enterprise Sample Guide.

Portal Server Blog Portlet

Portal Server provides a blog portlet that uses the Atom Publishing Protocol (APP), the standard protocol for managing weblog posts. The portlet enables portal users to publish weblogs from a portal page. Community members can perform the following tasks:

• Create weblogs

• Create, edit, and delete blog entries

• Create blog server user accounts

The blog portlet provides a simplified user interface. For more information, see Technical Note: Managing Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Update 1 Blog Portlet.
