Abstract
Techniques that enable an application or component developed according to a first framework specification to use services provided by an application executing on a second framework that is different from the first framework. A portal architecture is described that is capable of running portal snippets developed according to different framework specifications. A J2EE framework-based portal is configured to execute portal snippets developed using Java for a Java-based framework and also to provide support for and execute portal snippets that have been developed using a language supported by another framework such as .NET framework.
Claims33
A method executed by a portal, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first portal server executing according to a first framework, a request from a first computer identifying a portal snippet that is developed using a first language supported by a second framework different from the first framework;
- communicating the request from the first portal server to a second portal server that is configured to process portal snippets configured using a language supported by the second framework;
- generating a response to the request at the second portal server;
- communicating the response from the second portal server to the first portal server;
- and
- communicating the response from the first portal server to the first computer.

A method of providing portal functionality, the method comprising:
- providing a first portal server configured to process portal snippets developed using a first language supported by a first framework;
- providing a second portal server configured to process portal snippets developed using a second language supported by a second framework;
- receiving, at the first portal server, a request from a first computer identifying a portal snippet that is developed using the second language;
- communicating the request from the first portal server to the second portal server;
- generating a response to the request at the second portal server;
- and
- communicating the response to the first computer via the first portal server.
