The document discusses site management in Jetspeed-2. It describes how: - Pages are stored in folders in PSML format and reference portlets, layouts, and security constraints. - Folders organize PSML and metadata files and define display order of documents. Menus can be defined for folders and pages. - The Site Manager portlet allows users to add and edit pages and portlets on pages. - A demo illustrates creating a new page, adding portlets, and changing layouts and portlet configurations.

- 8. November, 2005 8 PSML Description of a page. Content can be defined in fragments. Allows to define layouts, decorators, links, menus, metadata and portlets By default PSML are persisted as files on the file system Simple configuration change to persist the PSML to the database instead of the file system. Site Management
- 9. November, 2005 9 Use Database persistence for PSML pages Running J2 in a clustered environment requires pages to be in a database. Changing PageManger to use database: – Comment out Update the spring assembly page-manager.xml. Comment out CastorXmlPageManger section: <bean id="org.apache.jetspeed.page.PageManager" name="pageManager" class="org.apache.jetspeed.page.psml.CastorXmlPageManager"> Page Manger

Will include the page creation and the portlet configuration in one page. Site Management

- 14. November, 2005 14 Jetspeed Desktop Jetspeed Desktop The Jetspeed desktop combines server-side Jetspeed AJAX services with client-side services. It is a key change to the way Jetspeed presents its data. With the Jetspeed portal, it’s a server-centric application, with all requests and user interaction going back to the server. The user experience is driven by the HTTP page paradigm. The Jetspeed Desktop solution is a client-side solution. The user interface is controlled by the client-side: 1. Aggregation of portlets 2. Customization With the Jetspeed Desktop, the server side does what it does best: handles the portal model, user information and persistence of state.
- 15. November, 2005 15 Jetspeed Desktop Aggregation Jetspeed Desktop Each portlet makes its own HTTP request for its own content. The request delivers the content for only that one portlet. The portlet aggregation component is moved to the client side, making ‘AJAX’ requests for each portlet’s content on the page. This may lead to an overall slightly slower response time for the first hit on a page due to the increased number of HTTP requests, but subsequent interaction is usually much more responsive. The “portlet pipeline” is used to make the AJAX requests.
- 16. November, 2005 16 The Desktop today • The desktop is undergoing a lot of new development and changing just about everyday. Still early in development cycle… Jetspeed Desktop
- 17. November, 2005 17 Jetspeed Desktop Customization Jetspeed Desktop Customization is well-suited for the Desktop solution. Customization should always be available, if you have secured access. The customization changes are persisted over the Jetspeed AJAX API to the server, but all client interaction such as drag and drop or best handled on the client-side. Here we right-click on the tab menu to get the portlet-selector:
- 18. November, 2005 18 Jetspeed Desktop Portlet Selector • The Jetspeed Desktop Portlet Selector supports drag and drop of portlets onto the desktop. The Portlet Selector is a light-weight popup window (not a real browser popup): Jetspeed Desktop
- 19. November, 2005 19 Desktop Drag and Drop • Dropping the portlet on the page (better suited for a demo…): Jetspeed Desktop
- 20. November, 2005 20 Moving and Resizing • Portlets can also be moved or resized (better suited for a demo…): Jetspeed Desktop
- 21. November, 2005 21 Themes • The desktop still uses PSML as its instructions for which portlets appear on the page. However, page and portlet decorators are no longer relevant on the desktop. Instead we use “themes”. There are currently 2 themes available (tigris, blue) Jetspeed Desktop
- 22. November, 2005 22 Desktop System Portlets • Portlet Selector – select then drag and drop portlets • My Portal (edit your view of the site) i.e. folders pages, links ** • My Admin – same as My Portal, but manage the whole site ** • Portlet Finder – like the Portlet Selector, allows you to search ** • My Dashboards – alternative to Jetspeed standard menus ** • My Desktop – manage your desktop, change themes, colour, skins ** ** NOT YET WRITTEN Jetspeed Desktop
- 23. November, 2005 23 Future Directions • We are exploring development of the system administrative portlets with client-side widgets and DOJO Jetspeed Desktop
