Distributing information in a markup language within a computer system
First Claim
1. A computer-based method of providing information between a plurality of nodes coupled to a communication network wherein the plurality of nodes comprises more than one content provider nodes, at least one user node, and a portal node between said content providers and said at least one user node, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, at a portal node, user-requested content information from more than one content provider nodes, wherein the user-requested content information has been generated in a markup language using multiple different portlets comprising a specific portlet at each of the more than one content provider nodes;
combining, at the portal node, the received user-requested content information using a generic portlet to produce combined user-requested content information; and
sending, from the portal node, the combined user-requested content information to a user node.

7. A computer-based method of providing information between a plurality of nodes coupled to a communication network wherein the plurality of nodes comprises more than one content provider nodes at least one user node, and a portal node between the content provider nodes and the user nodes, the method comprising the steps of:
-
generating, within at least one content provider node, user-requested content information in a markup language using a specific portlet; sending, from the at least one content provider node, the generated user-requested content information to a portal node for combining with information in the markup language received from other content provider nodes using different specific portlets to produce combined user-requested content information and sending the combined user-requested content information to a user node using a generic portlet. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product for use in a content delivery network comprising a plurality of nodes, the product comprising a machine readable medium containing one or more programs which when executed implement the steps of:
-
receiving, at a portal node, user-requested content information from more than one content provider nodes comprising multiple different portlets, each content provider node having a specific portlet, wherein the user-requested content information has been generated in a markup language using a specific portlet at each of the more than one content provider nodes; combining, at the portal node, the received user-requested content information using a generic portlet to produce combined user-requested content information; and sending, from the portal node, the combined user-requested content information to a user node.
