Embedding .page file in a Websphere Portlet

deepikabalu

Can somebody say me how we can embed a .page file in a websphere portlet using livsite runtime?

There are variety of ways to do this. What is the use case?

Some of these approaches:

1. Using LS tag library.
2. Using web services for portlets.
3. Using iFrames

Alternatively, depending on the requirements, you have other options (i.e. direct LSCS integration) as well in LS 7.1.

Viral,

Thanks for your reply

Based on your first option, I understand we can use livesite taglibs to embed a .page in the jsp, but since the portal would be running in a different port and livesite runtime would be running in a diffrent port , i assume that the jsp will definitely be in the portal war file , if that is the case what could be the way the jsp can understand that the .page should run in the port where livesite is installed.

Based on the second approach - webservices for portlets , are you talking about the WSRP portlets.

Based on the approach using LSCS in 7.1 , i went through the 7.1 documents , i could not find the staight forward information for my case , May be i could have missed it out, if you could let me know the document which has this info , it will be great for me to proceed.

Thanks

Usually, most applications using 3rd party tag library have it running in the same container. So if you have them running on different ports then you are more towards doing JSP includes rather than using JSP tag lib. AFAIK JSP and the corresponding tag library has to be in the same container for the JSP to actually recognize them.

Yes WSRP.

LSCS document is not going to talk about any specific application (i.e. Portal vs custom J2EE vs custom .NET vs Flex or other RIA app) however it's unique platform-agnostic architecture allows it to be integrated with just about any of these. All you need is to make a simple REST (HTTP) call.

Please correct me if my understanding is wrong :
If i'm going to use WSRP, i need to use it aroung LSDS. in this case the entire .page can be rendered into the portlet. Presentation part is not done in the portlet side.

If i'm going to use LSCS, i've to make requests for each individual content i require in the portlet and then build the presentation logic using my portlet JSP.

At the highest level, yes and yes.

In the latter case, if the "asset" that you are retrieving is ready for presentation (i.e. HTML vs XML or image) than you may not even have to do any presentation logic.
