The GridPort Toolkit (GridPort) is a set of interfaces and services in the portal layer that provides access to a wide range of backend grid and information services. The portlets expose these backend services as customizable web interfaces in order to increase the personalization of grid portal user interfaces. The services are intended to support the portlets inside the portal layer by augmenting their capabilities in an extensible and reusable way while tying the portlets together in order to make them more cohesive. While portlets and portal services both use backend services such as Globus, GPIR, and Condor these services are not considered part of the GridPort software project although they may be provided with GridPort in order to make deployment easier.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of programming Java is required. Knowledge of grid computing concepts and the Globus toolkit is recommended.
Course Objectives
This course will provide you with the concepts required to build and configure a grid enabled portal using the GridPort Toolkit v4.0 out of the box as well as to build Java JSR168 portlets from scratch to talk to services external to the portal.
