PORTAL CONNECTED TO A SOCIAL BACKEND

摘要

A portal is connected to a social backend. The portal comprises an integration component communicating with the social backend. Functionality of the social backend is integrated into the portal system by creating at least one portal object that is associated with at least one social object. The integration component comprises a portal listening component listening to events triggered by running applications of the portal, and creates an event list by filtering events associated with the social backend. A backend processing component keeps portal applications in synchronization with the social backend regarding changes on a portal side. A backend query component queries application programming interfaces of the social backend for current social objects and their states. A portal model processing component calculates actions based on passed in states of current social objects from the backend query component, and invokes corresponding application programming interface calls on the portal.
