Primer and Markup Interface Section

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Folks,

In keeping with my message yesterday, it occurred to me that I should 
not spend time detailing the SOAP XML body messages for the Markup 
Interface Section as Subbu had done in the Service Description 
Section since these should be the same for the sake of continuity in 
the Tutorials I am presuming we will add into each section to 
illustrate the examples used. Also, in the Markup Section these 
continuing examples also need to have the actual html/xhtml code 
fragments included and the browser display for those Portlets shown 
in the Portal page. Also in keeping with my comments yesterday about 
starting with stock lists and then proceeding to the web app using 
those lists later in the more advanced examples, I think these 
snippets of XML messages within the SOAP body also need to be 
consistent. Since I am not supplying those, I decided to just outline 
and write what I can without spending time on things that might be 
used, but also might not be used.

Last thought, these examples need to be complete enough to make 
sense, such as starting with the docRepository Portlet (with a 
dropdown menu of stocks or stock categories alongside the client's 
own portfolio list and maybe some kind of analyst report for the 
Basic Scenario, with actual trading-buying-selling orders as the more 
Advanced Scenario. And since I am not creating that, it doesn't make 
sense for me to produce the XML or the HTML, let alone any Javascript 
or other scripting code for interactivity--which we also need for the 
client to add a new stock to their portfolio from the docRepository.

So what I will do is to send out my pass through the primer as Alan 
last posted it later today or first thing Monday morning.

Ciao,
Rex
