Abstract
A display portal page in a web-based environment. This display portlet presents the message communication information between the portlets that are currently running on that portal page. The displayed message communication information indicates the portlet that is the source of a transmitted message and displays one or more portlets that receive the message. The visual representations can be of various formats such as a spacial display or a tree representation. Each communicated message has a stored record identifying the transmitting portlet and any portlet that receives the message.
Claims20
A method for displaying message communication information between portlets activated in a Web-base environment comprising the steps of:
- detecting the establishment of a communication connection between portlets;
- processing information contained in the detected portlet communication;
- and
- displaying a portlet message communication between portlets, the display being based on portlet communication connection information including an identification of a portlet initiating the communication connection and a portlet with which communications were established.
A computer program product in a computer readable medium for displaying message communication information between portlets activated in a Web-base environment comprising:
- instructions for detecting the establishment of a communication connection between portlets;
- instructions for processing information contained in the detected portlet communication;
- and
- instructions for displaying a portlet message communications between portlets the display being based on portlet communication connection information including an identification of a portlet initiating the communication connection and a portlet with which communications were established.
A system for displaying information related to activity between portlets activated in a Web-base environment comprising:
- a user interface device having the capability to display on a display screen information on message communications between portlets;
- a computer program product for displaying portlet message communication information of activated portlets on the display screen;
- a network interface device for establishing communications between said user interface device and a communication network;
- and
- a storage location for storing records of portlets that have established communications with other portlets being displayed, a record containing fields with information on a portlet that has initiated a message communication and all active portlets of which the portlet initiating the message has established communications.
