Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to processing forms submissions in a portal environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for independently refreshing a forms submission in a portal view. In one embodiment, a system for independently submitting forms in a portal view can include a portal server configured to render a portal view and a portlet aggregator coupled to the portal server. The portal aggregator can be configured to provide portlet markup for different portlets in the portal view where at least one of the different portlets includes a visible form includes one or more form elements.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- displaying a visible form, including a visible form element configured to receive any one of a plurality of inputs, within a portlet;
- generating, within a hidden frame associated with the portlet, a companion form having a form element corresponding to the visible form element;
- receiving, within the visible form, an input for the visible form element;
- updating, based upon the received input, the form element in the companion form;
- and
- submitting, in response to a request to submit the visible form to a server, the companion form to the server.
A computer hardware system, comprising:
- at least one hardware processor configured to initiate and/or perform:
- displaying a visible form, including a visible form element configured to receive any one of a plurality of inputs, within a portlet;
- generating, within a hidden frame associated with the portlet, a companion form having a form element corresponding to the visible form element;
- receiving, within the visible form, an input for the visible form element;
- updating, based upon the received input, the form element in the companion form;
- and
- submitting, in response to a request to submit the visible form to a server, the companion form to the server.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer usable storage device having stored therein computer usable program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:
- displaying a visible form, including a visible form element configured to receive any one of a plurality of inputs, within a portlet;
- generating, within a hidden frame associated with the portlet, a companion form having a form element corresponding to the visible form element;
- receiving, within the visible form, an input for the visible form element;
- updating, based upon the received input, the form element in the companion form;
- and
- submitting in response to a request to submit the visible form to a server, the companion form to the server.
