Communicating with non-HATS JSR 286 portlets

Rational® SDP provides GUI support to implement JSR 286 Portlet events. When configuring non-HATS JSR 286 portlets to communicate with HATS JSR 286 portlets, perform the following steps:

1. Open the Project Explorer view from the Rational® SDP menu bar by selecting Window > Show View > Other > General > Project Explorer.
2. From the Project Explorer view, right-click the Portlet Deployment Descriptor node under the portlet project.
3. Select Event > Enable this Portlet to Publish Event or Event > Enable this Portlet to Process Event to start the wizard to enable JSR 286 Portlet event support for the selected portlet.
4. Complete the wizard remembering that the event name and value type must match between publishing (sending) and processing (receiving) portlets.
