| <section title="The Apache Cocoon Portal"> |
| <p>This is a demo of the Cocoon Portal Engine.</p> |
| <p>The Cocoon portal page you currently view displays some so called |
| <em>Coplets</em> (= Cocoon Portlets). Each coplet displays |
| a different content.</p> |
| <p>The different tabs display/demonstrate different aspects of the portal.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The TabDemo1 shows a tab inside a tab, which is useful for structuring content.</li> |
| <li>The TabDemo2 shows the same content as TabDemo2 but with just a different stylesheet for the tab.</li> |
| <li>The Gallery tab shows some more coplets.</li> |
| <li>The JSR-168 tab demonstrates the integration of Portlets (read more below).</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><strong>THIS IS A SAMPLE PORTAL!</strong></p> |
| <p>It demonstrates several features of |
| the portal engine, so it's not optimized for production. Make sure |
| that if you use the portal for your own projects that you |
| remove all unused stuff from the configuration! Every configured |
| feature might have an impact on the performance. |
| </p> |

| <section title="The JSR 168"> |
| <p>The Cocoon portal supports portlets conforming to the JSR 168. The JSR 168 tab contains |
| a sample using the testsuite from the <fork href="http://portals.apache.org/pluto">Pluto project</fork>.</p> |
| <p>These samples only work if you follow these installation instructions:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Get the Pluto project and install it into Tomcat (Test Pluto now).</li> |
| <li>Install Cocoon as a web application in Tomcat and remove the Pluto webapp. Please note, |
| that it is currently not possible to start Cocoon directly from a war file; it has |
| to be expanded.</li> |
| <li>Remove the pluto-*.jar and the portlet-api-*.jar from the Cocoon WEB-INF/lib directory.</li> |
| <li>Start Tomcat and run the Cocoon portal demo. You should now see two portlets.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The current implementation searches for portlets in all directories that are next to |
| the Cocoon webapp directory. So, if you put Cocoon into the webapps directory of Tomcat, |
| you should put your portlets there as well.</p> |
