Presentations
Ajax in Portals
While Ajax development can be challenging in its own right, incorporating Ajax techniques in a portal environment poses a host of additional challenges to the developer.
This session begins with an overview of the fundamental challenges related to Ajax in the portal environment including markup namespacing, JavaScript library collision, Ajax server request handling, coexistence of Ajax and non-Ajax portlets, and multiple Ajax Push connections. Then, attendees will see how these challenges have been addressed with JSF and the open source ICEfaces technology. Finally, the session concludes with a walk-through of an actual Ajax Portlet, showing the major development and deployment steps required.
