Portal

This section aims to explain the concepts involved in service development, assisting the developer in creating customized services using the features of the Portal Framework.

A Portal service is essentially a Java application. Even if you do not need to create new classes, the Lumis classes will be used in its execution.

Each service implemented for the portal must contain a minimum set of methods. These methods are defined in a Java interface called IService. All services must implement this interface.

The LumisXP already comes with an implementation of the IService: the class GenericService. The created service can either use this class directly or simply extend it for customizations. If the service definition does not have a class that implements it, the GenericService will be used.
