STORY TITLE WebSphere Portal Technical Conference U.S WebSphere Portlet Factory  Rapid development  Robust integration capabilities  Service-oriented development  Simple deploy to WebSphere Portal or WebSphere Application Server  Plug-in to Eclipse, IBM Rational tools, or WebSphere Integration Developer IBM WebSphere Portlet Factory simplifies & accelerates the development, deployment, maintenance, and reuse of custom portlets and applications.

STORY TITLE WebSphere Portal Technical Conference U.S Accelerate new deployments Developers of all skill levels can rapidly build multi-page, complex applications without writing Java code * Generated Method [_pageDispatcher] * Generated by builder call [bc21] */ public void _pageDispatcher(WebAppAccess webAppAccess) { com.bowstreet.webapp.JSPSupport.dispatch(webAppAccess); } /** * Generated Method [getFlights_PagingGetImgName] * Generated by builder call [bc21] */ public String getFlights_PagingGetImgName(WebAppAccess webAppAccess, String button, String position) { PagingAssistant asst = (PagingAssistant)webAppAccess.getVariables().getObject("getFlights_Paging"); String img = button + position; if ((button.equals("First") || button.equals("Prev")) && !asst.hasPreviousPage()) img = button + "Disabled"; if ((button.equals("Next") || button.equals("Last")) && !asst.hasNextPage()) img = button + "Disabled"; return webAppAccess.getVariables().getXmlText("getFlights_PagingButtonImages", img); Wizard-driven Builders …generate J2EE-compliant code automatically “We selected Portlet Factory because it’s a tool that’s easy to use. We like the Builder and profiling technology and it makes it much easier for us to maintain and test our code. Portlet Factory gives us the ability to leverage our existing resources and it’s a standards- based tool that is a natural fit with WebSphere Portal.” Bill Jenkins Director of IT UNICCO

STORY TITLE WebSphere Portal Technical Conference U.S Automation of service-oriented applications  Portlet Factory automates high-level design patterns Domino SAP and Siebel Web Service Tables Forms Charts - for creating services from enterprise data - for building the presentation layer

STORY TITLE WebSphere Portal Technical Conference U.S Key concepts: builders  Capture design patterns and automate the creation of code  Have easy to use, wizard- like interfaces  Create or modify any number of application elements and artifacts  Pages, schemas and data, server-side and client-side actions and logic, back end connectivity, etc. /** * Generated Method [employees_SelectRow] */ public void employees_SelectRow(WebAppAccess webAppAccess, Integer rowIndex, String nextAction) { int index = rowIndex.intValue(); Variables vars = webAppAccess.getVariables(); int selectedRow = index - 1; IXml data = vars.getXml("employeesGetEmployeesByDeptResults"); if (data == null) return; data = data.findElement("EmployeeList"); if (data == null) return; int row = 0; IXml child = data.getFirstChildElement(); while (child != null) { if (row == selectedRow) { vars.setXml("employees_SelectedRowData", child); break; } row++; child = child.getNextSiblingElement(); } webAppAccess.callMethod( "employeesGetEmployeeRecord" ); webAppAccess.processAction(nextAction); }

STORY TITLE WebSphere Portal Technical Conference U.S Key concepts: models  Models are containers for aggregating builders  Developers work iteratively with builders in a model to create a custom “assembly line”  A model is typically used to create a service or presentation pages

STORY TITLE WebSphere Portal Technical Conference U.S Agenda  Portlet Factory overview Data integration and SOA in Portlet Factory  Working with Lotus Domino  Working with tasks from WebSphere Process Server  Working with Lotus Connections and Lotus Quickr  Working with IBM Information Server  Working with Workplace Web Content Management  Additional Features of Portlet Factory  Q&A

STORY TITLE WebSphere Portal Technical Conference U.S Service-oriented architecture (SOA) Key Benefits  Promotes independent development and testing of front end and data layers  Automates back end connectivity  Enables reuse of assets WebSphere Portlet Factory features a Data Services Layer - providing automatic support for a service provider & consumer paradigm Reuse existing assets Use one data service to drive display of multiple portlets Reuse same UI with different data services
