Consolidating and reusing portal information

A computer program product for generating portlets, the computer program product comprising a computer readable hardware storage device having program code stored on the computer readable hardware storage device, the program code comprising:

• program code to receive code;
• program code to deconstruct the code into code fragments;
• program code to validate the code fragments to determine that the code fragments can function alone;
• program code to match each of the code fragments with server-side components, wherein the matching includes analyzing at least one of:
• a common key word, a tag, and metadata;
• and
• program code to generate a portlet based on the matching,
• wherein the program code to match each of the code fragments with the server-side components comprises determining whether each of the code fragments is one of a common matched component, a transitioned matched component, and an unmatched component based on at least one of the common key word, the tag, and the metadata;
• and
• wherein the program code to match each of the code fragments with the server-side components further comprises determining whether each of the code fragments is one of:
• the common matched component when a code fragment is matched to a common server-side function in the server-side components based on at least one of the common key word, the tag, and the metadata;
• the transitioned matched component when the code fragment is not matched to the common server-side function and the code fragment is matched to a transitioned server-side function in the server-side components based on the at least one of the common key word, the tag, and the metadata;
• and
• an unmatched component when the code fragment is not matched to either the common server-side function or the transitioned server-side function in the server-side components based on the at least one of the common key word, the tag, and the metadata,
• wherein the transitioned server-side function is similar to the code fragment.

A system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• a computer readable hardware storage device;
• program instructions stored on the computer readable hardware storage device for execution by the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to retrieve code from a web application;
• program instructions to deconstruct the code into code fragments, wherein each of the code fragments is associated with hypertext markup language (HTML);
• program instructions to validate that each of the code fragments can function without requiring functionality of other code fragments;
• program instructions to match each of the code fragments with server-side components, wherein the program instructions comprises determining whether each of the code fragments is one of a common matched component, a transitioned matched component, and an unmatched component based on at least one of a common key word, a tag, and metadata;
• program instructions to discard the code fragments associated with stored portlets;
• program instructions to store the code fragments that are not associated with the stored portlets;
• and
• program instructions to generate a portlet and use the portlet in another web application,
• wherein the program instructions to match each of the code fragments with the server-side components further comprises determining whether each of the code fragments is one of:
• the common matched component when the code fragment is matched to a common server-side function in the server-side components based on at least one of the common keyword, the tag, and the metadata;
• the transitioned matched component when the code fragment is not matched to the common server-side function and the code fragment is matched to a transitioned server-side function in the server-side components based on the at least one of the common key word, the tag, and the metadata;
• and
• an unmatched component when the code fragment is not matched to either the common server-side function or the transitioned server-side function in the server-side components based on the at least one of the common key word, the tag, and the metadata,
• wherein the transitioned server-side function is similar to the code fragment.
