<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>. It is fully licensed with <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>. It can be used to build, test, and deploy Java<br />

Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) applications on a <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong> environment (but not on any previous release). It has<br />

support for all Java EE artifacts supported by <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

► Rational <strong>Application</strong> Developer for <strong>WebSphere</strong> Software V7.5<br />

Rational <strong>Application</strong> Developer for <strong>WebSphere</strong> Software V7.5 ships with<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong> which contains a 60 day trial license. It is<br />

a fully featured integrated development environment that can be used to build,<br />

test, and deploy Java EE applications on a <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

<strong>V7.0</strong> environment (and also supports the previous releases V6.0 and V6.1). It<br />

<strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>, such as servlets, JSPs, EJBs, XML, SIP, Portlet, and Web<br />

services. It also supports developing Java EE 5 applications.<br />

► Portlet application support enhancement<br />

The portlet container in <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong> provides the<br />

runtime environment for JSR 268 compliant portlets. Portlet applications are<br />

intended to be combined with other portlets collectively to create a single<br />

page of output. The portlet container takes the output of one or more portlets<br />

and generates a complete page that can be displayed.<br />

The primary development tool for portlets on <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

is Rational <strong>Application</strong> Developer for <strong>WebSphere</strong> Software. Review<br />

Introduction: Portlet applications in the <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

Information Center at the following Web page:<br />

websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/welc6tech_port_intro.html<br />

Portlets are packaged in WAR files.<br />

JSR 268 provides improvements to the portlet programming model. It allows<br />

for events and shared parameters between portlets. It improves coordination<br />

with other Web frameworks, and better serves resources and usage of<br />

cookies. It provides an easy way to test portlets without the need to set up a<br />

full portal.<br />
