Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
Implementing inter-portlet communication
Use inter-portlet communication to have portlets interact and share information.
There are two ways you can set up inter-portlet communications:
- Using cooperative portlets
- Available in portlets built to the IBM Standard (JSR 168) Portlet API
- Using click-to-action portlets
- Available in portlets built using the deprecated IBM (legacy) Portlet API
Note: If you use IBM® WebSphere® Application Server 6 or later, use cooperative portlets.
