Auction Portal sample

This sample provides portal and portlet projects for an auction site. It includes portlets that were created using the Web Diagram editor to define the application flow, and JavaServer Faces technology for designing the pages in the user interface. The portlets in the application provide user administration functions and item listings for a sample auction site. Finally, these portlets are added to portal pages in a portal site. The sample exposes key features of portal technology, including portlet programming, inter-portlet communication, and portal layout and theme editing.

Explore the sample to observe the following features:

  • The organization of portal and portlet projects and applications
  • The types of resources and code that are generated by the portal tools wizards

  • Data sent from one page to another using cooperative portlets
