OPERATING A PORTAL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Systems and methods of operating a web portal environment are disclosed. One such computer-implemented method includes: triggering rendering of a content item being specified by a feed-driven list definition defining a new web content type; reading entries of the content item by a first tag that creates a request attribute containing query relevant information; listening to the request attribute; creating a query; passing the query to a feed integration service; executing the corresponding remote API call; receiving a response from an external data provider; passing the response to the feed-driven objects extension plug-in; creating a rendering context which can be accessed by a second tag; and inserting the external data into markup by the second tag based on a set of predefined feed-driven list presentation components.

1. A portal environment comprising:
a portal used by a client and connected to at least one external data provider that provides external feed data, wherein the portal comprises a page model component, a portlet model component, and a web content manager to run at least one portal application, and a feed integration service facilitating data exchange between the at least one external data provider and the portal, wherein the web content manager comprises:
a web content rendering engine configured to transform a given content item into markup that can be rendered by the client;a feed-driven list definition defining a new web content type representing a query to define what kind of information to retrieve from the at least one external data provider and how to handle the retrieved information to specify a corresponding content item;a set of predefined feed-driven list presentation components used to build a visual intended representation of the external data provider content item retrieved by the new web content type, and wherein the web content rendering engine comprises:
a feed-driven objects rendering extension plug-in generating a query to the feed integration service and providing a corresponding response to the web content rendering engine based on the new web content type.
