Websphere Portal on Z/OS

Overview

This chapter deals with portlet development and deployment.

First we discuss the use of WebSphere Studio Application Developer (Application Developer) for the development of portlets for z/OS. Note: The installation of Application Developer is described in Chapter 3, "Development environment installation" on page 93.

Next we describe the steps involved in deploying portlets on the z/OS platform, highlighting the major differences between portlet deployment on the z/OS platforms versus the distributed platforms.

Then, we provide examples of deploying portlets using the following portlets:

• Document viewer

• Click-to-Action

• Host on Demand

• Lotus iNotes™

• Changing a Web application to a portlet to access a CICS® application
