Portal Page Creation



  • A client (e.g., a web browser) makes an HTTP request to the portal
  • The request is received by the portal
  • The portal determines if the request contains an action targeted to any of the portlets associated with the portal page
  • If there is an action targeted to a portlet, the portal requests the portlet container to invoke the portlet to process the action
  •  A portal invokes portlets, through the portlet container, to obtain content fragments that can be included in the resulting portal page
  • The portal aggregates the output of the portlets in the portal page and sends the portal page back to the client
