Creating Portals and Zones

The framework application supports one portal, Dashboard, which can contain a configurable set of zones that show diverse information.

To create a custom zone:

• Meta-data to define the zone and its parameters
• A Java handler class

To create a new zone:

• Use the ServiceZoneHandler class
• Create a Page Service containing required data
• Create or reuse XSLT template file
• Define meta-data declaring the zone and its parameters
