IBM Software Group 20 WebSphere Portlet Factory10/6/2015 WebSphere Portlet Factory Key Concepts Builder An adaptive, reusable component that generates Java, XML and JSP for specific portlet functionality Model A container of Builders Profile A set of parameters that vary Builder inputs to dynamically generate unique versions of the portlet

IBM Software Group 21 WebSphere Portlet Factory10/6/2015 Automate Frequently Occurring Development Tasks Multiple SAP BAPI Call Transaction Calendar Picker Print, Export to Excel, Click-To-Action Invocation Master-Detail Table Drill Down Applications are comprised of features and design patterns. 1. Capture features and design patterns as Builders. Developers can easily create Builders to automate their code. 2. By creating Builders, companies can retain the intellectual property of their developers + ensure consistency and quality of code. 3. Caching

IBM Software Group 22 WebSphere Portlet Factory10/6/2015 Builders. /** * 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_Pa ging"); 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_PagingButtonImag es", img); }.  Capture design intelligence and automate the creation of code  Perform specific automation tasks based on inputs or parameters specified by users  Can be easily created to automate any type of software development  Have automatically generated, easy to use, wizard-like interfaces  Increase developer productivity, decrease coding errors, and enforce company coding conventions or standards
