desktop are not enough!

Portals bring control– Single point of access– Personalized view– Dashboard on the digital enterprise

How?

Retool information sources: from web-enabled to portal-enabled

– Applications– Websites– Employee, Customer, Partner, Supplier

repositories

Deploy within a Portal Infrastructure– Access sources in a common way, manage as a

service– Secure and aggregate within dynamically

generated pages– Personalize to support multiple user communities– Manage within a reliable repository

Example - my.oracle.com Free, high quality business

portal– Target : 1.5 million OTN members– Customizable pages, by industry

and geography– Integrate Oracle and 3rd party

content and services

Oracle employee’s home page– Target : 40,000 Oracle employees

worldwide– Single sign on to all self service

applications– Aggregate view, and access point,

to all intranet content

The Oracle9iAS Portal Page

The portal user interface

Aggregates information from multiple sources

Customizable Secure Made up of

portlets

Presents, summarizes and/or accesses information from a data source

Generates an area of HTML displayed within a portal page

Customizable, secure

Re-useable

Key Concept - Portlet

Portlet

Portlets Can Take Many Forms

Access to related portal pages

No-code portlets

Integrate Existing Applications Using the PDK

PDK – Java– Create Web providers and portlets from

existing Java-based applications– Provides a communication abstraction, default

classes, and API services

Use the PDK – Java to build portlets that:– Leverage your existing JSPs and servlets– Pull data from Microsoft Exchange– Screen scrape from secured URLs– Access databases through JDBC– Transform XML feeds into HTML using XSL
