1. A method for generating a user-configured portal, comprising:
- using a graphical user interface to obtain portal configuration information from a user, the graphical user interface allowing the selection of a component with a display and allowing the editing of the properties of a selected component using a property editor window, the component selected from dislayed components including portlets and pages; and
preparing a portal description in accordance with the configuration information, wherein the portal description can be used to generate the portal.

Abstract
A portal can be generated using a portal designer allowing dragging and dropping of components into a display. The dragging and dropping of components can initiate the update of a display, such as a design view and/or a hierarchal display and the update of a portal file. The portal file can be used to generate the portal. The portal designer can include a property editor window for editing a selected component

81. A method for generating a user-configured portal, comprising:
-
producing a hierarchical display of a portal structure, the hierarchical display indicating components including portlets and pages;
accessing a representation of a component on the hierarchical display;
manipulating the component whose representation is accessed; and
updating a portal description as a result of the manipulation, wherein the portal description can be used to generate the portal.. - View Dependent Claims (82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100)
