Drag and Drop feature for portlets

[Ankit Gandhi]

We have just migrated to WPS 6.0 from WPS 5.1 and wish to provide our end users to have dragging and dropping of portlets. Can anyone guide me for this, i mean from where to start and how? Is there any default feature available in WebSphere Administrative Console where we can add this feature to portlets like we assign different skins to each portlets?

So far, i have serached that we need to add some <dnd> tags in themes jsp files. Is it so?

Hey Ankit,

What exactly you mean by drag and drop feature? Do you mean to have portlet instances on one area of a portal page and you want to drag a portlet from that area to some other area? Or you have a bucket which may contain list of portlet instances and you want to provide an ability to the user to drag and drop a portlet instance from such bucket? Could you elaborate more on this?

Hi Bimal,

Thanks for your response!

The feature that you are talking about is "Portlet Pallete", which we dont want. Our main requirement is to interchange the positions of portlets on the portal by simple dragging and dropping.
