Abstract
A display portlet is incorporated into a portal page in a web-based environment. This display portlet presents the launch sequence of the portlets that are currently running on that portal page. The displayed launch sequence indicates the source of a launched portlet and displays any portlets that are launched by a portlet running on that portal page. The visual representations can be of various formats such as a spacial display or a tree representation. Each launched portlet has a stored record containing information about the portlet, the portlet that launched it and any portlets launched by the particular portlet.
Claims20
A method for displaying launch sequence information of portlets activated in a Web-base environment comprising the steps of:
- detecting a portlet launch operation;
- processing information contained in the detected portlet launch;
- and
- displaying a portlet launch sequence that is based on information gathered from the detected portlet launch information, the portlet launch sequence indicating the source of a launch portlet whose launch was detected and any portlet launched by the portlet whose launch was detected.
A computer program product in a computer readable medium for displaying launch sequence information of portlets activated in a Web-base environment comprising:
- instructions for detecting a portlet launch operation;
- instructions for processing information contained in the detected portlet launch;
- and
- instructions for displaying a portlet launch sequence that is based on information gathered from the detected portlet launch information, the portlet launch sequence indicating the source of a launch portlet whose launch was detected and any portlet launched by the portlet whose launch was detected.
A system for displaying launch sequence information or portlets activated in a Web-based environment comprising:
- a user interface device having the capability to display portlet launch sequence information on a display screen;
- a computer program for displaying launch sequence information of activated portlets on the display screen;
- a network interface device for establishing communication between said user interface device and a communication network;
- and
- a storage location for storing records of portlets that have launched activated portlets being displayed, a record containing fields with information on a launching portlet and all active portlets launched by the launching portlet.
