JSR 286 portlets

Use this action to send the value of a global variable in an event from a HATS JSR 286 portlet to other JSR 286 portlets (HATS or non-HATS) on the portal server. In the Event name field enter the name of the event that is being sent. The name must match the event name used by the receiving portlet, for example, the same event name defined in Portlet settings on the Other tab in a HATS JSR 286 receiving portlet. In the Global variable field enter the name of the global variable.

Note:

Event names within a single portlet must be unique.

Click Advanced to set more options if necessary.

On the Advanced Options page, if the value of the global variable is indexed, select Variable is indexed. Then, specify whether to Send all indexes of the variable, or to Send a specific index, including which Index to send, and the Type of the object contained in the global variable. Use the Browse button to assist in entering a valid value type. The type you select must be Serializable. If not, an error message is displayed. The type also must match the type used by the receiving portlet, for example, the same type defined in Portlet settings on the Other tab in a HATS JSR 286 receiving portlet. 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 file, and the portlet.xml file is updated. No WSDL files are involved with JSR 286 portlet communication.
