Abstract

Java based Portals have come a long way. The inception of open portlet standards, like JSR168 and the more open JSR286, has led to their wider adoption across verticals and horizontals. Now, Java EE and non-standard MVC frameworks are becoming available for Portlet programming and part of portal applications. The design and development of portal applications is increasingly being done in the light of openness, connectivity, context sharing, and joint presentation. Thus, portals are now finding themselves in a tighter coupling with not just the rest of Java EE but also web 2.0 actors. With this, the challenges faced in portal application development have gone several notches up. A modern day portal tooling has the important tasks of bridging the gap and reducing the learning curve of the Java EE and core java converts, as well as making sure that the MVC frameworks work smoothly and seamlessly on modern day portals. This article examines one such MVC framework JSF and its applicability to portal development over the course of its versions 1.2 and 2.0. The author examines how a popular MVC framework like JSF is changing the way portal applications are being thought of, architected, designed, and implemented. In the same context, a modern day portal tooling in the IBM Rational Application Developer is examined.
