Services

Jetspeed provides a way for portlets to access Jetspeed components, or services, from a portlet. Although this is a Jetspeed-specific feature, it is how Jetspeed Administrative portlets can work with customizing Jetspeed. For example, the Group Administration portlet below uses a Jetspeed service to manipulate Jetspeed groups.

All services must be exported by Jetspeed in the Spring configuration jetspeed-services.xml file. All services required by a portlet must be specified in the jetspeed-portlet.xml.

Portlet applications requiring a jetspeed service refer to that service in their jetspeed-portlet.xml deployment descriptor:

<js:services>
	<js:service name='ApplicationServerManager'/>
	<js:service name='PageManager'/>
	<js:service name='PermissionManager'/>
	<js:service name='PortalAdministration'/>
	<js:service name='UserManager'/>
</js:services>

Applications can get the service in the portlet init phase, for example:

groupManager = (GroupManager)
getPortletContext().getAttribute(CommonPortletServices.CPS_GROUP_MANAGER_COMPONENT);
