Abstract:
Portal development is just about creating portlets and themes, right? True, that is where most of a team's time is going to be spent, but there are also situations where using some of the product's lesser-known features will allow the creation of a more complete solution for a given business problem. What do you do if you need to force users to accept terms and conditions on first accessing the portal? What happens if you have a portlet that needs to perform a task much longer than the server's timeout? How do you send a user to an external page when their session expires?Come along to this session to find out the answers to this sort of question and get a look at some WebSphere Portal facilities that you might not have come across before, but that might just solve your next application design challenge.
