A portal server having a reverse proxy mechanism for proxying one or more Web applications on a backend server in response to a request for Web content from a user. The reverse proxy mechanism includes a portlet, a set of configuration rules, and a rewriting mechanism. The rewriting mechanism is configured to forward a user request for Web content to a Web application on the backend server, receive a response from the Web application, and rewrite the received response in accordance with the configuration rules. The portlet is configured to produce a content fragment for a portal page from the rewritten response. The configuration rules include rules for rewriting any resource addresses, such as URLs, appearing in the received response from the Web application to point to the portal server rather than to the backend server. The disclosed system allows the portal server to appear to the client as the real content server. The portal server is arranged such that an external Web application, which is running on a separate backend server, is displayed to the user within the boundary of the portlet window on a portal page. The backend server remains behind a firewall and the reverse proxy function of the portlet allows a user to access the Web application on the portal server, without needing (or allowing) the user to have direct access to the backend server and backend application which provide the actual content.

A solution for generating a portal page based on a data item. In particular, one or more portlets are selected from a set of available portlets based on the data item. The selected portlet(s) are then included on the portal page, which can be provided to a user device for display. The data item can be provided to a content provider for the portlet in order to generate the display area for the portlet. Information on the user and / or user device can be used when selecting the one or more portlets for inclusion on the portal page.

A method, computer program product, and apparatus for generating multilingual web pages in a portal is disclosed. According to a preferred embodiment, a filter module associated with a web server intercepts an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) request for a particular portal page and identifies the sender of the request. Language preferences for the sender are determined and a set of new language-specific HTTP requests are issued to obtain portlet content in each of the preferred languages of the sender. The results of these language-specific requests are then assembled into a multilingual portal page.

A method for differential rendering a portal page that includes a plurality of page elements (10, 12, 14) and refreshing the portal page. The method includes providing a complete portal page (20, 22). A request for the portal page is then sent and / or received (28). The request can represent user events. In a next step, page elements (10, 12, 14) of the portal page to be updated are identified (30, 31) on the basis of the user events. A page delta is then calculated (32), wherein each page element (10, 12, 14) is associated with a refresh policy depending on the semantics of the respective page element (10, 12, 14). The page delta can include the markup elements of the page elements to be updated. Next the page delta is transferred (34) to the existing portal page and merged (40) with the existing portal page.

A portlet state maintenance system can include a portal page setup component configured to generate a logical form in a single portal page from a multiplicity of forms defined within portlet markup aggregated into the single portal page. A portal state save component further can be configured to save state values for selected portlets defined within the logical form. Finally, a portal state restore component can be configured to restore the saved state values in refreshed portlet markup for the selected portlets. Notably, a refresh timing component further can be configured to embed submit auto-initiation logic in the single portal page responsive to identifying a dynamic refresh requirement associated with the portlet markup in the single portal page. Finally, a portlet markup cache can be coupled to the portal state restore component.

A method, system and apparatus for enhancing the run-time display of a portlet using dynamically applied portlet skins. In this regard, a portlet display enhancement system can include a portlet aggregator configured to aggregate portlet views into a portal page, and alternate skin insertion logic programmed to wrap at least one portlet view with an alternate skin in lieu of a static skin. A portlet filter can be communicatively coupled to the portlet aggregator and configured to manage the alternate skin insertion logic. Alternatively, a servlet can be communicatively coupled to the portlet aggregator and configured to manage the alternate skin insertion logic. The alternate skin can include a debug skin. Moreover, the alternate skin can include an auxiliary control programmed to activate an auxiliary view. In this regard, the auxiliary view can include additional debug information.

The present invention provides a method and system for implementing asynchronous portal pages, comprising a portlet monitor resident on a web browser and implemented with a script. When a user interacts with a portlet, the portlet monitor sends a XMLHTTP request to the portal server. The portal server obtains the corresponding web contents from the corresponding portlet based on the request. Then, the web contents are modified and the HTTP requests therein are redirected to XMLHTTP requests. The portlet monitor uses the modified web contents to refresh the web contents of the corresponding portlet in the portal page without reloading the whole portal page. Besides, after the user submits a request for a portlet, during waiting for the portlet being refreshed, the user may continue to interact with other portlets. Thus, the present invention has the abilities of partially refreshing and asynchronous communication.

A method and apparatus for consolidating network information, in some cases for use as a start / portal page. The invention provides means for “framing” Internet content, as well as creating links on the fly, to a single start / portal page that can be accessed by a single user, or by a set of users in a cooperative relationship with each other.

The invention relates to a method for recording an external link click record by utilizing a doorway page. The method comprises the following operating steps of step 1 clicking a hyperlink connected to the doorway page, wherein the hyperlink includes a target URL parameter of a doorway page address; step 2 transmitting an accessed detailed doorway page URL and obtained current time, an IP (Internet Protocol), browser information and / or screen resolution to a database; step 3 obtaining the target website parameter, judging the target URL parameter through a detection module, when the URL format of a target URL is incorrect, stopping executing a code and outputting a prompt that the URL format of the target URL is incorrect; if the URL format of the target URL is correct, executing the step 4; and step 4 transferring the target URL to a new target URL through a way of URL jump. Through the technical scheme provided by the invention, the target URL is jumped through the doorway page while the information, such as the accessed detailed doorway page URL and the obtained current time and the IP, is transmitted to a database at the doorway page.
