Abstract: A dashboard runtime component includes (1) a visualization component configured to render a visual representation of data items retrieved from a data source and (2) a query execution component associated with at least the visualization component. The query execution component is configured to retrieve the data items from the data source.

Abstract: A method implements a dashboard runtime that comprises a custom visualization component to render a visual representation of a data items of one or more queried datasets in a GUI; at least one query associated with at least the custom component; and an API to provide communication between the custom component and the at least one query. The API detects a user interaction with of a portion of the custom component via a first message that informs the dashboard runtime of the detected user interaction; passes a second message to the at least one query instructing the at least one query to rerun to receive an updated query dataset; and passes the updated dataset via a third message to the custom component and to any other components associated with the at least one query, such that the custom component and the other components automatically render updated visual representations of the updated dataset.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, and methods for use therewith, for creating a portlet that can be inserted into an external web page that is outside a portal framework. A portal product is adapted to create one or more portlets that are made available to consumers by a producer. The portal product automatically assigns a URL to the one or more portlets to be inserted into an external page separate from the portal product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for generating custom administrative tools. An administrative framework is provided that abstracts the implementation of certain administrative functions. A management Application Programming Interface (API) receives calls submitted in a preconfigured format from interface components generated by a developer or third party. The management API processes the calls and performs the functions associated with the calls. Multiple implementations are provided, through which an interface component can access the management API.

Abstract: Embodiments provide mechanisms and methods for providing disconnectible applications capable of executing at least semi-autonomously, i.e., without needing constant contact with a server, on a client substantially independent of server connectivity. The ability of a disconnectible application to execute on a client substantially independent of server connectivity can enable enhanced flexibility in organizing applications to build data processing systems.

Abstract: There are provided mechanisms and methods for mapping information from disparate data sources into a single user profile. Embodiments can provide the capability to work with profiles for users as well as for other entities. These external data sources can include, without limitation: relational databases, file system and Java classes, Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers and other network accessible sources. These mechanisms and methods can enable creating a single user profile from attributes residing in disparate data stores. The ability of embodiments to provide mechanisms and methods for creating a single user profile from attributes residing in disparate data stores can enable easier configuration of profiles, without requiring users to write code to perform the mapping.

Abstract: A portal includes an original configuration and extension. The original configuration can include resources and a portal file identifying the resources. The extension modifies the original portal to form an extended portal without changing the original configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for editing the look and feel of web portal content. An editor enables a user to select a node in an HTML document and to view a list of style properties for the HTML document. The editor then presents a list of relevant style properties and an ability to edit the style properties. Additionally, style properties can be organized hierarchically, added, and removed.

Abstract: A JSR 168 compliant portlet can expose a URL to allow the portlet to be inserted into an external page.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and mechanisms for organizing portal content that can enable a newly created portal element, i.e., a subsection of a portal, to be persisted as an externally, self-contained entity that can be created for the element and referenced by a control tree for the portal. A control tree includes information organized hierarchically or otherwise that is used to control serving of portal content. Externally persisted self-contained entities can be created for many types of portal elements.

Abstract: A method for providing a collaborative, shared workspace is provided. The method includes receiving an identity of at least one of a plurality of participants. At least one resource to share information between the plurality of participants is determined. A community comprising the identity of the at least one of a plurality of participants and the at least one resource is established. The community can enable the plurality of participants to share information in collaboration using the at least one resource.
