IBM Lotus Web Content Management JSR286 portlet

14-01-2010

The features and demo of the new JSR286 portlet.

The new IBM® Lotus® Web Content Management Rendering Portlet available from the Portlet catalog is a solution which updates and improves how the rendering of Web content is performed in IBM WebSphere® Portal. While the existing Web Content Viewer portlet (referred to in the WebSphere Portal documentation as a ″rendering portlet″) has evolved throughout several versions to implement sophisticated Web content rendering functions, it is still based on the deprecated IBM Portlet API. By contrast, the new JSR 286 Web Content Viewer has been entirely redeveloped based on the Java™ Portlet Specification 2.0 (JSR 286). In addition to the benefits afforded by JSR 286, the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer in this package also enables other features for Web content management, such as a new Web content portal page type and support for the standard search seedlist 1.0 format.
The JSR 286 Web Content Viewer was developed to address several key issues that have surfaced from discussions with our customers. Specifically this updated portlet focuses on the following areas:

  • Performance: The portlet provides optimized rendering logic, does not require sessions for rendering and can leverage the portlet fragment cache.
  • Integration: The new concept of Web content pages has been introduced in WebSphere Portal to allow closer alignment between the portal’s page navigation and the content structure within your Web content libraries.
  • Ease-of-use: The portlet includes a redesigned Edit Shared Settings and Configure portlet mode that allows easier and faster configuration of the portlet.

In addition to the focus areas described above, the IBM Lotus Web Content Management Rendering Portlet package includes the following benefits and features:
  • You can attach Web Content Management sites and site areas to portal pages.
  • The JSR 286 Web Content Viewer does not need to be configured on Web content pages because it renders the default content attached to the page.
  • Site designers can create templates that predefine Web content page layouts with portlets and content authors, and then create Web content pages based on the templates.
  • Sessions are no longer required for rendering Web content for both anonymous and authenticated portal users.
  • Broadcasting of content links to the corresponding Web content pages is more flexible.
  • You can generate site analysis output to help measure how often a content item is visited.
  • The portlet uses standard search seedlist 1.0 format for better integration with IBM OmniFind™ Enterprise Edition.
  • You can view Web content search results within the portal context and Web content pages.
  • The portlet supports the portal Web 2.0 theme.
  • You can restrict configuration settings in the Configure portlet mode, so that the settings cannot be changed in the Edit Shared Settings mode.
  • Communication between the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer and other portlets has been improved through the use of a public render parameter.
  • The display title for the portlet supports multiple languages.
