1. IT sets multiple URLs to point to single portal deployment• 1 URL for each product
2. Create Guest user for each product• Edit profile so MyPage looks like a login page
3. Create Experience Defintion (XD) for each product• Set home, navigation, and branding for each product
• Specify each XD to use the respective guest user as login page
4. Set Experience Rules• Each URL is associated with respective XD

Top Best Bets -> Marketing URLsTBB = navigation feature based on search best bets
TBB is the top result for any best bet phrase
Directly opens the top result instead of just returning search result
Accesible by “>” prefix in search Search for “<KEYWORD>” equals regular search
Search for “><KEYWORD>” equals top best bet
Portal URL changes “<BASE URL>/portal/server.pt?...” goes to “<BASE URL>/tbb=<KEYWORD>”
Use URL mapping to make Marketing URLs Map “keyword.portal.com/” to “portal.bea.com/portal/server.pt?tbb=“ in DNS
Then “keyword.portal.com/<KEYWORD>” will equal “portal.bea.com/portal/server.pt?tbb=<KEYWORD>”
Will run TBB search

How It Works: User Personalization
A profile Web service provides additional attributes about the users from other systems. The portal incorporates these attributes as part of a user’s profile, and can send these attributes to portlets for advanced personalization. The service is scheduled by the Automation Server.

How It Works: Assembling a Page
6. All communications between user and Portlets are processed through the Gateway; HTML, XML and documents hosted behind the firewall are rendered by the Gateway.
Gateway
Portlet
1. The IDK is a set of design-time tools for coding Portlets and other integration Web services with Java and .NET.
IDK
2. To process a page request, the portal server retrieves the definition and the preferences for each Portlet in the page from the AquaLogic Interaction database.

Application/Data Store
4. The Portlet assembles data either communicating through APIs or database connections.

5. Based on the preferences, the Portlet returns HTML or XML to the portal. XML is transformed into HTML by XML transformation Portlet service

Parallel Engine
3. The portal sends Portlet’s preferences back to the Portlet via HTTP headers, issuing requests to Portlets via a parallel engine.

7. Each Portlet features a page for users to configure the Portlet to their needs. This page gathers preferences from a user and sends the preferences to the portal for storage in the RDBMS.

3. The portal receives an HTML from a client portlet and parses the HTML. If an URL is in the gateway space, then the portal transforms that URL so that it refers to the portal server.
4. The portal allows the gatewayed remote service to access preferences and portal objects.
2. The portal administrator specifies gateway URLs for a Web Service object to provide client access to otherwise unreachable files (inside the firewall).

Creating User Experiences: Administrative Hierarchy
AquaLogic Interaction
AdministrativeHierarchy
An administrative hierarchy houses all of an application’s objects & defines the application’s security. When creating a new application, an administrator typically creates a new folder in the hierarchy, such that all the objects within that folder inherit the security of the folder. This eases migration, security changes and delegated administration.

UserExperience
A experience definition defines each user’s experience, which can include one or more applications. Each subportal can feature a different navigation scheme and branding. A Publisher component that installs with the AquaLogic Interaction, the branding engine, controls the appearance of each subportal. AquaLogic Interaction also offers an adaptive styles mill that propagates font and color changes across every page hosted by every component of the suite, so the user experience is seamless across products.

Each application within the portal is created as a community, from a community template. A community template dictates which pages are in the application, and a page template determines the Portlets for each page. Administrators can update many communities at once by editing these templates. Each community can be separately branded, overriding the subportal brand.

The Portlets within a page can be generated from a Portlet template known as a Web services object, with each Portlet differentiated by administrator-level preferences. Portlets interact with one another within the application using Adaptive Portlets technology, based on JavaScript in the user interface. Programmable Event Interfaces (PEI) allow developers to embed new functionality into the application at key junctures, such as on log-in, without changing core UI.

Supports 1.0 WSRP Specification
Typically used with other tools to hide underlying complexity

JSR 168 Consumer Supports JSR 168; passing 100% of TCK test cases
Runs remotely on Weblogic, WebSphere, Tomcat

JSR 168 Details
Standard is modeled on Java servlet specification Define API via interface classes
Defines JSP tag library
Defines CSS
Requires servlet 2.3
Spec defines a Java Container API for portlet development Developers create portlets by subclassing GenericPortlet class
Spec assumes local execution of portlets
Model allows easy access to IDK portlet APIs, e.g. IDK’s IPortletContext
![Page 121: ALUI Features and Architecture Overview Song Hu. Agenda Product Introduction Overview of User Experience Features Overview of Web Service Features Overview.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e435503460f94b373ae/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
JSR 168 Strengths and Weakness
Strengths Simplicity: if you can write a servlet,
you can write a portlet
Tools: existing IDEs can be extended to make portlets even simpler to write
Weaknesses Quality of service: when written loc
ally, possible to write portlets that damage the portal
Scalability: when written locally, too many portlets may bog down portal
Platform: Java orientation limits aftermarket
Limited functionality: Support for one type of preferences, limited notion of a user
![Page 122: ALUI Features and Architecture Overview Song Hu. Agenda Product Introduction Overview of User Experience Features Overview of Web Service Features Overview.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e435503460f94b373ae/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
WSRP Details
WSRP defines interactions between “producer” and “consumer” Defines interface (WSDL) for all portlets
Consumer can be any application
Producer can run on any SOAP-supporting platform
WSRP provides flexible, rich interaction model Loosely coupled relationship between consumer and producer
No additional software install
Supports different flavors of markup: HTML, wireless standards
Different portlet modes and states
Caching model for performance
![Page 123: ALUI Features and Architecture Overview Song Hu. Agenda Product Introduction Overview of User Experience Features Overview of Web Service Features Overview.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e435503460f94b373ae/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
WSRP Strengths and Weakness
Strengths Radical openness: can develop We
b services in any language, run them on any platform, mix and match them in one deployment
Flexible deployment: can have hosted services, business unit-level services
Extensibility: easy to extend specification for vendor-specific needs
Weaknesses Complexity: knowledge of SOAP stac
k required to implement portlets
Complexity: more focused on protocol for communication, not API usability
Lack of tools: SOAP tools not as well developed, WSRP producer tools non-existent
Extensibility: ease of extension means exaggerated claims for interoperability

ALUI wins 99.9% of the time when…
The customer’s infrastructure is mixed: .NET, Java, PHP, you name it
The customer is interested in freeing IT and developers from building everything, and want configurability over the Web for business users to participate
The customer is interested in leveraging out-of-the-box capabilities, faster time-to-value
The customer is interested in deploying a portal or portal applications that are collaborative or involve intense search, publishing and knowledge management
We do a proof-of-concept against IBM, Oracle or MSFT

ALUI consistently competes strongly against
IBM: WebSphere Portal + WorkPlace strategy and technologies Similar collection of technology, dramatically different configuration
Poorly integrated, massive services bill
Few successful references
Microsoft: SharePoint + WSS + Office 2007 + VS.NET Fine for inside the firewall, but what about your customers, partners
Limited infrastructure choice, flexibility
We consume and extend WSS
Oracle: Portal + Collaboration + Fusion Limited feature set
Poorly integrated products
Single-stack orientation
