Enabling existing portlets for cooperation

You can enable your existing portlets for cooperation. Rational® Developer makes it easier to develop the various parts of the run-time artifact to enable Click-to-Action portlets. The tooling provides support in the following areas:
  • Declaring a portlet to be either a source portlet or a target portlet
  • Inserting and defining data to be published in the source portlet's JSP page (<c2a:encodeProperty>)
  • Generating the data model and operations specification document (WSDL file)
  • Consuming the data in the target portlet
  • Binding portal actions to the operations

To enable cooperation for existing portlets:

Note: WS-I compliance warning messages will be displayed in the Problems view for Click-to-Action-enabled portlets. You can ignore them in the Click-to-Action WSDL resources. Alternatively, to prevent these warning messages from being displayed, you can change the compliance level on the WS-I compliance preferences:
  1. Select Window > Preferences > Workbench > Capabilities.
  2. Expand Web Service Developer, and ensure that Web Services Development is selected.
  3. Click Apply and then OK.
  4. Select Window > Preferences > Web Services > WS-I Compliance.
  5. Set the compliance levels to Ignore compliance, and then click Apply and OK.
