When a portlet form is submitted, all the other portlets on the same portal page are forced to redraw themselves. In this presentation, filmed at the recent JSFOne Conference, Neil Griffin shows you how ICEfaces Direct-to-DOM rendering provides a cure for this disruptive end-user experience, and how ICEfaces Ajax Push supplies a rich alternative for inter-portlet communication. Demonstrations are performed within Liferay Portal, a JSR 286 (Portlet 2.0) compliant portlet container.
