Abstract: System and method for logging significant events occurring at a web site portal includes a base class portlet service including a significant event catcher method having a register method and a record method, a portlet action table, and an action description table. The register method is called during portlet initialization to register one or more significant event descriptions to the action description table. The portlet, upon executing a significant event, calls the record method to record the event to the portlet action table.

Abstract: Under the present invention, searchable content is loaded into a search engine database, while displayable content is stored in a file system (e.g., in an XML file or the like) that is architecturally separate from the search engine database. Searchable content is associated with corresponding displayable content through links/pointers. In addition, tags for formatting the displayable content are provided in a style sheet or the like that is referenced by the displayable content file. When a search request for one or more search items is received by the search engine, the searchable content in the database will be searched. When appropriate searchable content is located, the corresponding displayable content will be located through the links. Once located, the displayable content will be formatted according to formatting tags contained in the associated style sheet. After formatting, the displayable content will then be presented to the user.
