and prevent the unencrypted transmission of
user credentials across application domains.


‫شهره کاظمی‬
[email protected]
Different rendering and selection mechanisms
for different kinds of information or
applications.
Portlets are plugging components, which
provides an abstraction to hide differences.
Portlets are user-facing, interactive web
application components rendering markup
fragments to be aggregated and displayed by
the portal.

Portlets

Content is provided:


by external services and displayed by specific local
portlets running on the portal.
by local portlets using only local portlets.

Technically, a portal is a network service that brings
together content from diverse distributed resources using

alerting, and collates this into an aggregated form for
presentation to the user, usually via a website. (JISC)
