System components
The following components are required to use ECP.
- WebSphere Business Integration Server Express release 4.4 -
indirectly used to develop the integration solution
- System Manager - used to expose the integration solution to
the Portal server.
- ECP relay component - the Java code deployed by System Manager
and indirectly exposed to the Portal developers. This component
interfaces on one end with the ICSE Server Access Interface (SAI)
and on the other end with the WebBo JavaBeans that interface with
the Portlet page.
- WebBO JavaBeans - the Java code that represents the business
objects that are sent and received from the collaboration. These
JavaBeans are generated and deployed by System Manager. They contain
properties that represent the business object attributes and methods
that correspond with verb actions.
- Portal project - contains the Portlet pages that Portal developers
must design before the feature is implemented.
- RAD (Rational Application Development) 6.0 - the perspective
in which the portlets are developed. The main components of this
perspective are the Page Designer, the Palette, and the Page Node
data.
