Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
About IBM® WebSphere Portlet Factory APIs
APIs are available for development tasks.
The WebSphere Portlet Factory includes APIs for the following development tasks:
The following sections provide a high-level description of the APIs for the above-mentioned development tasks.
Interacting with Web applications
The primary API for interacting with a Web application is the com.bowstreet.webapp.WebAppAccess class. The WebAppAccess class includes methods for the following interactions:
- Getting form inputs
- Displaying pages
- Calling model actions
- Getting and setting variable values
- Getting and setting session data
The WebAppAccess object gets and sets data on the WebApp object, which contains the actual data for the running Web application. You do not commonly interact with the WebApp object during model development, but you do use it when you create builders.
Creating builders
When you create builders, you need to get information from the model to which the builder is added, alter the structure of the model (for example, by adding Page and Linked Model builders), and create other builder calls. The following APIs facilitate this processing:
- com.bowstreet.webapp.WebApp class
- com.bowstreet.builders.webapp.api package
