Preface

The primary focus of this guide is developing and administering portlets. Topics like interportlet communication, analytics, and integration of third-party portlets are discussed. In addition, the Content Presenter portlet is discussed. The Content Presenter portlet allows users to retrieve and display different kinds of content in a portal in real time, without assistance from the IT Department or software developers.

Audience

This guide is intended for developers and portal administrators. Developers use Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) to create portlets, to write the business logic used by portlets, to create web applications, and to perform other related tasks, like implementing data transfer and interportlet communication. Portal administrators use the WebLogic Portal Administration Console to assemble and configure assemblages of portlets called desktops.
