HIGHLIGHT
The first comprehensive guide to developing web portals and portlets
with Java Portlet 2.0.


DESCRIPTION
A "portal" is a browser-based container populated by small
applications called "portlets". Good portlets need to work
independently, but also communicate with the portal, other portlets,
and outside servers and information sources. Whether they're part of
internal or web-facing portals, high-quality portlets are the foundation
of a fast, flexible, and successful development strategy.
Portlets in Action is a comprehensive guide for Java developers with
minimal or no experience working with portlets. Fully exploring the
Portlet 2.0 API and using widely adopted frameworks like Spring 3.0
Portlet MVC, Hibernate, and DWR, it teaches portal and portlet
development by walking the reader through practical examples that
incorporate key features and challenges. The accompanying source
code can be easily adapted and reused by readers.

* Complete coverage of Portlet 2.0 API
