Oracle Touts 'Portlet Factory' Development Tool

09/28/2005

Oracle today announced the Oracle(r) Portlet Factory development tool to enable organizations to easily integrate and interact with information pulled from enterprise business applications via an enterprise portal.



Oracle shared the following details:

As companies take advantage of the benefits of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs), portlets are a key enabler for leveraging data from heterogeneous systems for use in portals and composite applications. The Oracle Portlet Factory helps organizations significantly enhance their ability to integrate data from disparate applications.

For example, Oracle Portlet Factory includes an integrated portlet development environment and an SAP adapter, which simplifies the process of building portlets for SAP applications.

Developers can use the adapter to easily drag-and-drop SAP functional components into portlets that can be accessed through an organization's internal or external portal. With Oracle Portlet Factory, developers can also build portlets to JSR-168, the industry standard enabling interoperability between portlets and portals.

"Portals are becoming an increasingly essential component to an organization's SOA strategy," said Oracle Vice President, Enterprise Portals, Rahul Patel. "Oracle Portlet Factory helps customers get the most from their existing and future IT - allowing them to easily collect all of their critical information in an enterprise portal, regardless of the data source."

Oracle Portal and Oracle Portlet Factory, components of Oracle Fusion Middleware, serve as the face of SOAs by allowing organizations to use existing applications assets to build user-specific business processes. These advanced features remove the intricacies involved in wrapping together individual applications and enable portlets to reflect the business activities of end users - providing a universal, productive and intuitive interface for the organization. Developers can rapidly create, customize and deploy these portlets by using Oracle Portlet Factory with patented technology licensed from Bowstreet, a leading provider of portal-based tools and solutions.

"Bowstreet provides a highly adaptive framework for developing and deploying composite applications to incorporate data from disparate enterprise sources," said Bowstreet President and CEO, Michael George. "We already hold a dominant footprint in the Global 2000 market, in particular being chosen over SAP's NetWeaver, and we look forward to teaming with Oracle to take more middleware ground from traditional SAP accounts."
