What is Virtual Portal And What are the Steps for Creating a Virtual Portal

  • Virtual Portal:
  • Virtual Portal is nothing but copy of websphere Portal.All the things we can do here,what we are doing in websphere portals except deploying portlet into server.Because  webmodules tab is not available in virtual portal.

    If we create some pages in this virtual portal,that pages will be visible to that user only.

    A single portal installation can support up to 150 virtual portals.

  • Step1 :

    Steps for creating a Virtual Portal .

  • Below are the simple steps for creating a virtual portal:

1.Logon to Websphere portal server v6.1http://localhost:10039/wps/portal/

2.Navigate to Virtual Portals -> Mange Virtual Portals at the bottom of console.

3. Click New Virtual portal and fill out the following information and click OK.

URL Context : rpkl
Host name : The host name of the virtual portal. This attribute is optional.
User realm : Leave it default .
Initial admin user group : Click search button besides it and click search on the next screen

2 Environment:

Portal Server v6.1 ,Rad v7.5

Step3:

File>New> Select PortletProject>Project name(like AjaxSpringPortlet)>Choose the Target Runtime Server(like WebSphere Portal v6.1) and Portlet Type(Basic Portlet) like below

image1

=>Click on Next >Next>Finish

Step 4: Project Structure like below

image2

Step 5:

Create the folder in WEB-INF (like folder name is  jsp) like below

image3

=>Click on > finish.

Step 6:

Then Select the jsp folder >Right click on > New>WebPage> Write the File Name like below

image4

Click on > Finish

MainView.jsp like below

image5

image6

Code MainView.jsp:

<%@page

language=“java” contentType=“text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1”

pageEncoding=“ISO-8859-1” session=“false”%>

<%@ taglib uri=“http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0&#8221; prefix=“portlet”%>

 

<%@taglib

<portlet-client-model:init>

<portlet-client-model:require module=“ibm.portal.xml.*” />

<portlet-client-model:require module=“ibm.portal.portlet.*” />

</portlet-client-model:init>

<portlet:defineObjects />

<portlet:resourceURL var=“getDetailsURL” id=“getDetailsURL”></portlet:resourceURL>

http://em

<h1 style=“color: red”>Hello Welcome To MainView </h1>

 

<div ng-app=“myApp” ng-controller=“myController”>

Enter user name: <input ng-model=“userName”><br>

<input type=“button” value=“Submit” ng-click=“getData()”><br>

<h3>{{message}}</h3>

 

var app = angular.module(‘myApp’, []);

app.controller(‘myController’, function($scope, $http) {

$scope.getData= function ()

{

var userName=$scope.userName;

alert(“user name is : “+userName);

$http.get(”,{ params: {user:userName}})

.then(function(response) {

alert(response);

$scope.message = response.data;

});

}

});

Step 7:

Create the class:

Right click on the project under  src >select the >class> and write the class name (like AjaxController.java)  like below

image7

Click on> Finish

AjaxController.java like below

image8

Code: AjaxController.java

 

package com.anu.controllers;

 

import java.io.IOException;

 

import javax.portlet.ResourceRequest;

import javax.portlet.ResourceResponse;

 

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

import org.springframework.web.portlet.bind.annotation.RenderMapping;

import org.springframework.web.portlet.bind.annotation.ResourceMapping;

 

@Controller

@RequestMapping(“view”)

public class AjaxController {

@RenderMapping

public String showDefaultPage()

{

System.out.println(“inside showDefaultPage of AjaxController >>>> “);

String defautPage=”MainView”;

 

return defautPage;

}

 

@ResourceMapping(value =”getDetailsURL”)

public void getDetails(ResourceRequest req, ResourceResponse res) throws IOException

{

System.out.println(“inside getDetails >>>> AjaxSpring >>>  “);

String brideName=req.getParameter(“user”);

res.getWriter().write(“Hello Balu and “+brideName);

 

//String defautPage=”finalResults”;

 

//return defautPage;

System.out.println(“results sent >>>> “);

//return “Hello Welcome To New Angular Js World !!!!!”;

}

}

Step 8:
