ID-Portal has the best Inter-Portlet Communication (IPC) framework on the market, allowing you to assemble web application by connecting portlets through a very flexible communication framework.

ID-Portal supports two different styles of IPC, with the same ease of use and management:

1. Normal IPC: This is the normal way of IPC, where a portlet communicates with another portlet, and a page is generated or refreshed or called up.
2. Ajax-based IPC: This is the new style IPC, available since ID-Portal v4.2.2, using the same mechanism, but with Ajax support.

This page will show you a demo of two styles of IPC work. We have three portlets on this page: A Journal List Portlet on the left and on the right columns, a Journal Content Portlet in the middle column (that's where you are reading the description just right now).

The two portlets on the left and right columns show exactly the same information, and we have configured them to communicate the Journal Content Portlet in the middle column. When you click on the title of a white paper in the Journal List Portlet, it will send parameters through IPC to have the contents of the white paper display in the Journal Content Portlet.

The Journal List Portlet on the left columns uses an Ajax-based IPC method, while the one on the right column uses a normal IPC method. Try it and see the difference.
