From version 6.0.4 the Portal Manager includes a Java API which is required for
developing portlets. The API can be found in the
/share/doc/javadoc/portlet-api
directory, the documentation of the classes
is located in the /share/doc/javadoc/pm
directory. Please open the file
index.html
in this directory and also take a look at the packet overview
(overview).
In the installation directory, you can find in the examples/portlet
directory a sample portlet web application including a couple of sample portlets. This
web application can be deployed to /PM-EX
using the supplied ant build
file.
Each portlet web application of the Portal Manager includes a servlet with
which the portlets can be tested without embedding them into the content. The path of
this servlet is /webapp/debug/
, with webapp
standing for the web application, for example /PM-EX/debug/
. It outputs
links to the portlets contained in the web application so that they can be tested by
clicking them. From Version 6.5.1, this servlet is also available in the Portal Manager
web application under /PM/debug/
. Its purpose is to test the
WSRP functionality.
