| <subsection name="Prerequisites"> | |
| <p>It is expected that the reader of the user guide documentation | |
| should has an understanding of Java Web Application development, and | |
| Java Portlet Development.</p> | |
| </subsection> | |
| <subsection name="Pluto - The Pluto Container"> | |
| <p> | |
| Pluto is the reference implementation of the Portlet Specification. | |
| It is a portlet container which manages the lifecycle and request | |
| processing of portlets which adhere to the specification. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| In an of itself, Pluto is not very usefull to the end user. | |
| As a container, it does not have any understanding of portlet | |
| invocation, portlet aggregation or other portal specific features. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| For more information on how to integrate Pluto into your portal, | |
| please see the <A href="../developer/integration.html">developer guides</A>. | |
| </p> | |
| </subsection> | |
| <subsection name="Pluto Portal Driver - The Test Portal"> | |
| <p> | |
| The Pluto Portal Driver is a simple portal implementation that | |
| is provided for convenience sake. It's purpose is to provide | |
| aggregation support so that Pluto may be easily tested, and | |
| portlets may be easily developed. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| For information on how to use, configure, and customize the | |
| Portal Driver, please see the | |
| <A href="portal.html">Portal Driver User Guide</A>. | |
| </p> | |
| </subsection> | |
| <subsection name="Pluto TestSuite - The Test Portlet Application"> | |
| <p> | |
| The Pluto TestSuite is a Portlet Application which can be used to test | |
| Portlet Implementations. The TestSuite tests several basic portlet | |
| functions and is a quick and dirty way to test for Portlet Specification | |
| compliance. While a quick test of a portal using the testsuite won't | |
| garuntee compliance, it will help flag any notable incompliance. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| For information on how to use and configure the TestSuite, please see | |
| the <A href="testsuite.html">TestSuite User Guide</A> | |
