Step 1: Create the Directory Structure

The following directory structure was used to create the portlet called HelloUserRemotePortlet.

This structure includes the following directories and subdirectories:

The following rules apply when you set up the directory structure:

• Neither portlet names nor their paths can contain spaces.

• The portlet identifier (which consists of the name and the path) must be unique.

  Note: Developers should devise a convention to ensure unique name-spaces, similar to the conventions used for naming Java packages. For example, the Sales division of a company named ABCD could create portlets in the path ABCD/Sales, and the Purchasing division could create portlets in the path ABCD/Purchasing. Then both Sales and Purchasing could have different portlets named HelloUserRemotePortlet.
