Abstract

Web application code can be interpreted to indicate a pagelet web application. A combined display including a section of the pagelet web application in a page of the first application can then be produced.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving web application code for a first web application;

interpreting a tag in the code to indicate a pagelet web application; and

producing a combined display including a section of the pagelet web application in a page of the first application.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein a reverse proxy server combines the first web application and pagelet web application.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein a central role repository is maintained for the web applications.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the user role is sent to the web applications in an HTTP header so that the web applications need not do an independent mapping of the user to a role.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the tag includes a namespace.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the tag includes an ID.

7. A computer readable medium comprising code to:

receiving web application code for a first web application;

interpreting a tag in the code to indicate a second pagelet web application; and

producing a combined display including a section of the pagelet web application in a page of the first application.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein a reverse proxy server combines the first and pagelet web applications.

9. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein a central role repository is maintained for the web applications.

10. The computer readable medium of claim 9, wherein the user role is sent to the web applications in an HTTP header so that the web application need not do an independent mapping of the user to a role.

11. The computer readable medium of claim 9, wherein the tag includes a namespace.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the tag includes an ID.

13. A computer readable medium comprising:

determining a second pagelet web application from a tag in role of a first web application; and

inserting the pagelet web application into a display of a page of the first web application.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein a reverse proxy server combines the first web application and pagelet web application.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein a central role repository is maintained for the web applications.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the user role is sent to the web applications in an HTTP header so that the web applications need not do an independent mapping of the user to a role.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the tag includes a namespace.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein the tag includes an ID.
