Making a portlet available for use in JSPs

If you want to create a separate portlet instance for use in Java Server Pages (JSPs), you must create an externally published portlet.

For information about how to integrate your JSPs with Oracle9iAS Portal, including how to add portlets to your JSPs, see Integrating Java Server Pages with Oracle9iAS Portal on Oracle Technology Network.

To make a portlet available for use in JSPs, you must have at least one of the following privileges:

Portal administrator
Manage All privileges on the page group in which you want to create the portlet
Manage All global privileges on All Page Groups

You can make a portlet available for use in JSPs only if the JSP access page group setting is enabled.

To make a portlet available for use in JSPs:

In the Navigator, click Contents next to the page group which you want to use for publishing portlets.
Click Create in the Externally Published Portlets row.

Note: If the Externally Published Portlets row does not appear in the Navigator, the JSP access page group setting is not enabled.
In the Portlet Name field, enter a name to identify the portlet. This is the name that needs to be used in JSPs to include the portlet. For more information, see Integrating Java Server Pages with Oracle9iAS Portal on Oracle Technology Network.

Note: The name must be unique within the page group and the Shared Objects page group, and can contain up to 200 characters. The name must begin with an alphabetic character (A-Z, a-z), and can contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and the underscore (_) character. Do not use spaces or other special characters.
Click next to the Portlet field.
Drill down in the Portlet Repository and click the portlet that you want to make available for use in JSPs.
Click OK to create the externally published portlet and return to the Navigator.

Notes

If the JSP access page group setting is enabled, users can also add portlet instances from any standard page within the page group to their JSPs.
