Learn how to create portlets using the new visual development functions in WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.1.2 and Portal Toolkit V5.0.2.2. In particular, you'll use: JavaServerTM Faces, WebSphere Data Object, and Click-to-Action. We'll apply these features to create a sample auction database portal. The programming models and runtime frameworks, along with new easy-to-use tools, make it easier to build applications running on WebSphere Portal. Some of this technology is so new that it is for prototyping purposes only. However, learning about it now will help you prepare so you can implement it when it is available
