Chapter 11. Configuring the JBoss Portal
This chapter covers
- Configuring window appearance
- Working with multiple windows and instances
- Working with the CMS portlet
- Securing the Portal
- Developing a custom portal
In the previous chapter, you developed a simple Image portlet and deployed it to the portal. In this chapter, we describe various configuration topics including security and the CMS.
If you’re new to portals and portlets and haven’t read through chapter 10, “The JBoss Portal and portlets,” we urge you to do so now. In that chapter, we define many terms and present many portal concepts that aren’t repeated here.
We use the Image portlet from chapter 10 to illustrate several of the topics in this chapter. These topics include configuring the appearance of the portlet window, working with multiple portlet instances, and securing the portal and portlets. Along the way, we also cover the CMS that comes with the Portal. We conclude the chapter by developing and deploying a customized portal. This final topic makes use of many of the capabilities that you’ll learn in this chapter, and helps you personalize the portal for your use.
