The recently released Portal Pack 2.0 has a new feature called Eventing StoryBoard.The Eventing StoryBoard feature in Portal Pack 2.0 simplifies the task of creating portlet application that uses JSR-286 eventing. It provides a simple drag drop feature to link the portlets involved in eventing. Automatic code generation functionality in the storyboard adds the necessary interfaces, methods and xml elements needed during eventing.
Here's a tutorial contributed by Sriram K, which explains about JSR 286 eventing using Eventing StoryBoard

I tried the EventingStoryBoard on Netbeans 6.5 and I can't generate the publish/process event code. the context menu action does nothing.

Eventing story board's code generation option works for JSR 286 portlets. Are you trying this JSF portlet ? It doesn't work with JSF portlet.

Hi Satya,
Thanks for your quick response. Yes, I am trying a JSF Portlet. Mmm, bad news. I will write the code myself and hope to get it work.

Hi Ahmed,
Did you manage to implement IPC with the JSF Portlet?
