Customizing the application using profiling

In this chapter we describe the basic concept of "profiling" in Portlet Factory. We also demonstrate how to apply various profiling techniques to our Customer Self Service Application.

To complete the steps in this chapter, you will need installed copies of WebSphere Portal and WebSphere Portlet Factory 6.0.1. We assume that you have followed the set up and configuration steps for the data service providers as described in chapters 4 and 5, and that you have built and deployed the CustomerInfo, OrderList, and OrderDetails portlets according to the procedures given in the previous three chapters.
