Web Clipper
Automates Creation of Web Clipping Portlets
for Enterprise Portals
How It Works
Web Clipper is an innovative professional tool enabling users to build, test and deploy discreet portions of existing web applications into service-oriented architecture enterprise portals more easily and efficiently.
It is comprised of two components - a Workbench that automates the creation of web clipping portlets and a server-based Runtime to support Portal deployment. Users visually create web clippings without any programming and deploy them as industry-standard JSR 168 portlets or portlets for any leading SOA Portal including IBM, BEA, Oracle, SAP and Vignette.
Visually Develop Web Clipping Portlets
Web Clipper includes visual portlet development tools and supports popular portal servers so you can build and test individual web clipping portlets and portal applications. New web clipping portlets are created using wizards which generate a portlet project structure that conforms to J2EE, and also creates a complete portlet for you. The wizards can automatically create portlets that comply with JSR 168, the industry standard specification for portlet aggregation, personalization, presentation, and security. In addition, you can auto-generate portlets for IBM WebSphere Portal and BEA WebLogic Portal. You can lay-out and visualize the interface for web clipping portlets using the Clip Builder and its interactive Preview component.
Automate Portlet Assembly and Deployment
Web Clipper automates WAR assembly and generates deployment descriptors for new web clipping portlets to save you time. Web Clipper can deploy web clipping portlets to all popular portal servers.
Web Clipping
| Basic Clipping |
Clip parts or portions of any web page. |
| Continuous Clipping |
Clip an entire web site or web application, including dynamic content like Javascript, or simply clip a subset of pages. The portal user interacts with the clipping as if it were the actual web site. |
| Composite Clipping |
Clip multiple web sites or web applications together into a single portlet. |
| Visual Clip Builder |
Simplifies building composite web applications and portals with WYSIWYG layout of your web clipping portlet. |
| Interactive Preview |
Preview your web clipping portlet as it is being built, insuring it is correct before deployment. |
