Create a portal application

This tutorial describes how to use the Rational Developer portal tools to create and test a portal application. The application includes portlets that you will create, using JavaServer Faces components to design the pages in the user interface. The portlets in the application use session bean data to provide user administration functions and deliver item listings and details for a sample auction site. Finally, these portlets are added to portal pages in a site that you will design.

In the course of the tutorial, we will touch on key features of portal technology, including portlet programming, inter-portlet communication, and portal look and feel elements.
