- In-Memory account store (useful only for demonstration purposes)
- uPortal database account store (useful for using this portlet to add self-service account creation and management features to uPortal, e.g. for small uPortal projects not making use of an external store of user accounts)
- Hibernate/RDBMS account store for storing accounts into a database
Source control
TODO: note location in source control
This portlet is in Jasig source control here: https://source.jasig.org/sandbox/self-service-accounts-portlet/
So you can check it out locally via
| Code Block |
|---|
svn co https://source.jasig.org/sandbox/self-service-accounts-portlet/trunk ./trunk
|

Manually install FreeTTS dependency into your local Maven repository
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Instead of you having to manually install this .jar, it should be installed into a Jasig maven repository. That hasn't been done yet. TODO: install this dependency into a Jasig maven repository |
Download FreeTTS from http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetts/files/FreeTTS/FreeTTS%201.2.1/freetts-1.2.1-bin.zip/download
Extract the archive.
Locate freetts.jar
Install it with this command:
| Code Block |
|---|
$ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun.speech.freetts -DartifactId=freetts -Dversion=1.2.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
|
where "/path/to/file is the path to the freetts.jar
This will install the jar file into your environment's Maven repository, which by default is in a ".m2" directory in your home directory.
Build the source code to produce a war file
In the /trunk directory you checked out, run
| Code Block |
|---|
$ mvn install
|
This will create a "target" directory and inside of that directory will be an AccountRegistrationPortlet.war
Install uPortal
The instructions in Cris Holdorph's blog post, e.g., walk you through this.
Deploy the portlet into uPortal
In the uPortal source directory, with build.properties properly configured, run
| Code Block |
|---|
ant deployPortletApp -DportletApp=/path/to/AccountRegistrationPortlet.war
|
where /path/to/AccountRegistrationPortlet.war addresses the AccountRegistrationPortlet.war you built into that target directory.
Publish the portlet
Log in to uPortal as an administrator (default: admin/admin)
Use the Portlet Manager (default: link at right) and step through the portlet publication workflow to publish a new Portlet. Select the AccountRegistrationPortlet application's account creation portlet as the portlet you'd like to publish.
Add the portlet to a layout
If you were doing this for real, you'd want to add it to the "guest" layout such that not-logged-in users can use it. Since it's just in demo mode at this point and not integrated with uPortal's account management or LDAP, you can subscribe this portlet anywhere you like.
What you have to do for this portlet to be at all useful to you
