You can enable your existing portlets for cooperation. The Rational
® Software
Development Platform makes it easier to develop the various parts of the runtime
artifact to enable cooperative portlets, including Click-to-Action menus on
JSP pages.. The tooling provides support in the following areas:
- Declaring a portlet to be either a source portlet or a target portlet
- Defining data to be published as an output property in the source portlet
- Adding a Click-to-Action menu to the source portlet's JSP page (<c2a:encodeProperty>)
- Generating the data model and operations specification document (WSDL
file)
- Consuming the data in the target portlet
- Binding portal actions to the property broker operations
To enable cooperation for existing portlets:
Note: WS-I compliance warning messages will be displayed in the Problems
view for Click-to-Action-enabled portlets. You can ignore them in the Click-to-Action
WSDL resources. Alternatively, to prevent these warning messages from being
displayed, you can change the compliance level on the
WS-I compliance preferences:
- Select .
- Expand Web Service Developer, and ensure that Web
Services Development is selected.
- Click Apply and then OK.
- Select .
- Set the compliance levels to Ignore compliance,
and then click Apply and OK.
