Patent number: 7996494Abstract: A producer can make available pages and books containing multiple applications. As used herein, the term “book” refers to a group of pages bound together by a navigational menu. The producer presents the pages and books to the consumer in a service description message. An administrator of the consumer can select the pages and books, thus generating proxy versions on the consumer. The proxy versions can then be presented on the consumer.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2005Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Subrahmanyam Allamaraju, James D'Ambrosia

Patent number: 7788340Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for configuring and executing portlet responses to events within a web portal framework. These mechanisms and methods can enable event descriptions to be organized within a portlet configuration file with event handlers designated for responding to the event. As used herein, the term event handler refers to description in a configuration file for a portlet that includes an event identifier, an event description, and a response to the event. The term can also refer to the functionality that is generated from the configuration information.
