The advantage of Using Rest API’s in Portal Platforms to extend the reach of the portal.

While JSR-311 is part of J2EE6, we decided to use it within our OS Portal platform Entando, to allow the exchange of information between external systems.
The session will start with an intro to Entando. We will also create an example that will provide an overview of how to develop a service that publishes Open Data on multiple devices (smartphones, tablets...)
The aim will be to show how using REST API’s we can extend the reach of a portal and its adoption in an organisation.
Entando is an OS Java based portal platform that allows developers to easily make vertical applications or develop & deploy enterprise portals including rich CMS capabilities. Our commitment to remain open source & our passion for opening the world of web to those with visual impairments has made us successful in government sectors & we will profile some success stories of our use of REST API’s in large government deployments in Italy including the Civil protection & the Ministry of Justice.
