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: A customer portal application can reference a module. The files of the module can be combined with the files of the customer portal application wherein the files of the customer portal application take precedence.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for propagating security information for an application between a first environment and a second environment. These mechanisms and methods can enable embodiments to propagate changes to security information from a first application instance in a first environment to a second application instance in a second environment. For example, an embodiment can receive security information from an adapter associated with a test version of an application, and then propagate the security information to a production version of the application residing in a production environment. The ability of embodiments to propagate security information between adapters associated with application versions can enable propagation of changes to security information, i.e.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for determining a select set of changes from a set of changes made to an application instance to propagate to one or more other application instances. These mechanisms and methods can enable embodiments to propagate changes from a first application instance in a first environment to a second application instance in a second environment. For example, an embodiment can enable changes to be made to a test version in a test environment, tested and then propagated to a production version of the application residing in a production environment. The ability of embodiments to propagate changes to other application instances across environments can enable easy capture and transferal of changes to an application.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for determining an ordering for propagating changes to an application between a first environment and a second environment. These mechanisms and methods can enable embodiments to propagate changes from a first application instance in a first environment to a second application instance in a second environment even when the order of applying the changes is complex or not readily apparent to the propagating device. For example, an embodiment can determine an ordering to apply changes made to a test version in a test environment, tested and then propagated to a production version of the application residing in a production environment. The ability of embodiments to determine an ordering for propagating changes to an application between a first environment and a second environment enable easy capture and transferal of changes to an application.

Abstract: A quiescence mode for a portal allows a portal configuration to be protected from changes. This allows the configuration to be maintained during long running operations without a risk that the portal configuration will be changed during the operation.

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

Abstract: There is disclosed a diagnostic or prognostic assay for cancer, particularly gastrointestinal and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Specifically, the present invention provides a methylation pattern that can be assayed by standard methylation assays of CpG islands, including which genes are hypermethylated and which genes are unmethylated in gastrointestinal and esophageal adenocarcinomas, Barrett's esophagus, and normal squamous mucosa.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved high-throughput and quantitative process for determining methylation patterns in genomic DNA samples based on amplifying modified nucleic acid, and detecting methylated nucleic acid based on amplification-dependent displacement of specifically annealed hybridization probes. Specifically, the inventive process provides for treating genomic DNA samples with sodium bisulfite to create methylation-dependent sequence differences, followed by detection with fluorescence-based quantitative PCR techniques.

Abstract: A system administration console can be used to manage application server resources. This administration console can include an original configuration and extension. The extension can modify the system administration console to form an extended system administration console without changing the original configuration.
