Creating a Portal Application

To create a portal application, you must create a portal application project.

After creating the portal application project, you can perform the following tasks:

●      Creating a Portal Component: A component displays content to the user.

●      Creating a Portal Service: A service provides functionality to a calling component or service.

●      Editing a portalapp.xml File: The portalapp.xml defines properties for the component and service, which can be retrieved by the component or service itself, or by other applications.

Generally, you create a portal application that defines a component or service. You can create an application that only contains web resources – HTML, CSS or other files – that are available for other components.

You can also create a portal application project from an existing PAR file, as described in Importing a PAR File.
