Conclusion
From this course, you have learned about Novell Portal Services (NPS), from both a high-level view and a more in-depth view via Gadget technology. If you will recall, a gadget is an application that executes within the portal and presents a window to specific content that covers part or all of a portal page. A gadget provides the data and the layout necessary to render its piece of the page. Typically, a gadget returns both an XML data stream and the URL of an XSLT stylesheet that transforms the data into HTML for display. Many gadgets also receive and respond to input from the user who submits a form, selects a link, or performs some other action directed at that particular gadget. Most gadgets also interface with one or more external data sources such as applications, directories, databases, and web sites. You should now have enough information to create a gadget of your own.
