Connect your Widgets with Ease with Convertigo InteractionHub
Portal developers have few choices today when it comes to creating dynamic, Web 2.0-style widgets or gadgets – and even fewer technologies that can “wire” them together. Consequently, time and money are lost as developers often must rewrite applications and widgets from scratch – especially if they are integrating legacy applications and business logic.
The eXo-Convertigo partnership changes this reality. Now, eXo platform and GateIn developers can use the free Convertigo InteractionHub to easily wire widgets together in an extremely efficient manner. Rather than rewrite applications for new portals and portlets, Convertigo enables developers to access existing widgets and wire them together instantly, with no changes to the source code. This means up to a 90% resource savings with Convertigo.
What is the difference with existing portlet communication technologies ?
Some already portals supports inter portlet communication on the following mode:
Convertigo brings to the portal community the Interaction mapper enabling different widgets to intreract even if they were not designed to be compatible one with the other. Also, the InteractionHub works using a full client side Ajax technology giving to users a better user experience.
How Convertigo Widgets can be wired together
“Convertigo provides an elegant solution for widgetizing and wiring applications into the GateIn framework, which in turn simplifies our customers’ experience with JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform. With Convertigo’s contribution of this technology, GateIn becomes that much stronger of a portal foundation.” Jason Andersen, Director of Product Marketing for JBoss at Red Hat
