Soffitjs

A quick and dirty POC returning html from node given a remote portlet request.

Steps to integrate to portal

1. Deploy the soffit portal code update
2. Build and install soffit to your local m2 cache
3. Cherry-pick/merge/whatever Drew Wills' soffit branch - Also can be seen at this PR
4. Build/deploy portal wherever you'd like to test
5. Manage Portlets

Import

(cont.)

3. Modify data in the included xml definition file (soffit-test-one.portlet-definition.xml)
4. Import using the Admin import/export feature (or your preferred import method)

Manual

(cont.)

3. Register New Portlet
4. Portlet (Adapter for JSR-168 and JSR-286 Portlets)
5. /uPortal > Soffit Connector
6. Add portlet preference org.apereo.portlet.soffit.connector.SoffitConnectorController.serviceUrl : <node_url_and_port>

• This will probably be fine as http://localhost:3000/ unless you're running the portal and this code on different machines

7. Publish as usual
8. Navigate to /uPortal/p/<your_portlet_fname>
9. ?
10. PROFIT!
