Description:
The IBM® Lotus® Web Content Management Rendering Portlet provided with this package is a solution
which updates and improves how the rendering of Web content is performed in IBM WebSphere® Portal.
While the existing Web Content Viewer portlet (referred to in the WebSphere Portal documentation as a
"rendering portlet") has evolved throughout several versions to implement sophisticated Web content
rendering functions, it is still based on the deprecated IBM Portlet API. By contrast, the new JSR 286 Web
Content Viewer has been entirely redeveloped based on the Java™ Portlet Specification 2.0 (JSR 286). In
addition to the benefits afforded by JSR 286, the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer in this package also enables
other features for Web content management, such as a new Web content portal page type and support for
the standard search seedlist 1.0 format.
The JSR 286 Web Content Viewer was developed to address several key issues that have surfaced from
discussions with our customers. Specifically this updated portlet focuses on the following areas:
- Performance: The portlet provides optimized rendering logic, does not require sessions for rendering,
and can leverage the portlet fragment cache.
- Integration: The new concept of Web content pages has been introduced in WebSphere Portal to allow
closer alignment between the portal’s page navigation and the content structure within your Web
content libraries.
- Ease-of-use: The portlet includes a redesigned Edit Shared Settings and Configure portlet mode that
allows easier and faster configuration of the portlet.
