Accessing data with JSF portlets

Visual development tools make Website creation easy

Summary:  In this tutorial, you'll 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: JavaServer 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.

Summary

In this tutorial, you learned how to perform the following visual development tasks using WebSphere Studio V5.1.2 and Portal Toolkit V5.0.2.2:

  • Creating JavaServer Faces portlets
  • Using WebSphere Data Object with JSF to access a database
  • Enabling Click-to-Action for communication between JSF portlets
  • Defining page navigation in a JSF portlet

The visual tools introduced in this tutorial can help you build various types of portlet applications quickly without deep skills in Java programming. The underlying programming models allow you to add advanced application logic (Java code) to JSF portlets built using visual tools. Other tools in WebSphere Studio, such as the Java Editor, team support, and so on can be used seamlessly along with the visual tools.
