JSR 168 portlets

Use this action to send the value of a global variable as a java.lang.String value in a property from a HATS JSR 168 portlet to other JSR 168 portlets (HATS or non-HATS) on the portal server. In the Property field enter the name of the property that is being sent. The name must match the property name used by the receiving portlet, for example, the same property name defined in Portlet settings on the Other tab in a HATS JSR 168 receiving portlet. In the Global variable field enter the name of the global variable. If the value of the global variable is indexed, click Advanced. Then, specify whether to Send all indexes of the variable, optionally separated by a string delimiter, or to Send a single index including which Index to send. Select the Shared check box if the global variable is a shared global variable.

When you click Finish, the action is added to the screen's event (.evnt) file. In addition, a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file is created, if one does not already exist, and a send property is defined in the WSDL file. The name of the WSDL file is <project_name>.wsdl. The WSDL file is required to wire the portlets using the WebSphere® Portal wiring tool. The portlet.xml file is updated to reference the location of WSDL file.

If you click Remove, the action is removed from the screen's event file, but the property is not removed from the WSDL file. You can edit the WSDL file and use the WSDL editor to remove the property.

Note:

If you do not remove the property from the WSDL file, the HATS portlet runs properly as-is.
