Abstract
This paper gives a description of building a Grid middleware portal infrastructure in CCLRC to allow computational scientists, researchers and application users access to resources via an easy to use Web based portal interfaces. The goal is to develop common Grid application components that can be used by portal developers and administrators to build and deploy on open source portal frameworks. This will allow users to authenticate securely to remote resources and provide transparent access via Grid related tools to manage their tasks efficiently. The current portal technology, JSR 168, is described for the development of Java based applications. The work is substantiated by giving an example of building the UK National Grid Service (NGS) portal. NGS Portal itself works as middleware; it "glues" different Grid Resources together in a single location. Portals and portlets are not confined to a Web-based solution, through Web Services for Remote Portlets WSRP [8] portlets offered by different portal framworks can be consumed in software ranging from desktop to PDA.
