Figure 4. Application Tree viewDevelopment continues by adding builders to your model until you have the desiredfunctionality. Along the way, you can test the model by running it from the Designer tool,using any application server to see the intermediate results. You do not need to deployto the portal unless you need to test portal-specific features such as portlet-to-portletcommunication.When working with pages and user interface elements of an application, the graphicalDesign view provides an up-to-date WYSIWYG view of your pages. You can selectpages by clicking in the Application Tree or in the Pages tab. From the Design view,you can right-click on elements to bring up a list of suggested builders that can beapplied to the selected page element.WebSphere Portlet Factory V6.0.1 Getting Started Guide - 8 -
Figure 5. Design view for one page of a portlet modelDevelopment with WebSphere Portlet Factory is an iterative process. If you do not likewhat a builder has created, you can go back, change the builder’s input values, andhave the entire portlet application update instantly. Or, you can add additional builders toyour model that modify what other builders have created. You can also import your ownJava code, HTML, style sheets, and JSPs to get the exact functionality desired. In short,WebSphere Portlet Factory supports rapid prototyping, and it also includes all thenecessary capabilities for you to turn your quick prototype into a production-readyportlet.Dynamic profilingOften, companies want to be able to tailor their portlets for different users, based upontheir roles, personal preferences, or other types of contextual information. To implementcustomized portlets or portlets that adapt based upon information about the user,developers typically have had to write conditional logic or copy and paste the portletcode, creating versions for each unique variation required. These approaches tocreating customized portlets are usually cost-prohibitive and, ultimately, a maintenancenightmare.A key feature of IBM WebSphere Portlet Factory is dynamic profiling. Profiling solves themaintenance and scalability challenges that companies face when they try to buildportlets that are customized for personal preferences, roles, groups, geography, andbrand for individual users. With profiling, developers can very easily build portlets thatautomatically adapt and tailor themselves to the preferences and characteristics of eachperson using the portal.WebSphere Portlet Factory V6.0.1 Getting Started Guide - 9 -
