Introducing several collaboration patterns with WebSphere Portal (WP) and PortletFactory (WPF): (1) customize portlets based on Personalization Rules; (2) connect WPF to Domino Web Services; (3) collaborate with Lotus Quickr; (4) interact with LDAP; (5) visualize widgets in the Lotus Mashup Server; (6) integrate RSS and ATOM feeds in Portal.
This lab introduces you to several collaboration and customization patterns with WebSphere Portal (WP) 6.1, using WebSphere Portlet Factory (WPF). They can be explored in any combination and order of preference:
1. Leverage WPF’s new file selection handler in Version 6.1 to customize portlets based on WP Personalization Rules framework.
2. How to connect WPF to Domino 8 Web Services, using the four WSDL encodings provided by Domino (RPC Encoded, RPC Literal, Document Literal, and Document Wrapped)
3. Collaborate with Lotus Quickr using WPF’s REST Services builder.
4. Create a custom WPF builder to interact with an LDAP server using the Puma API.
5.* Use the WP Widget Portlet to visualize widgets in the Lotus Mashup Server. (Confidential – not yet announced, part of Dashboard Accel 6.1.2)
6. Use the IBM Syndicated Feed Portlet for WP to integrate, view, and manage RSS and ATOM feeds (from Domino) in your portal pages.
