A mechanism is provided for applying individual user-generated deployment events to a grouping of bookmarked deployable Web archive files. The mechanism allows a user of a bookmarking service for deployable Web archive files to group bookmarked Web archive files according to criteria, such as tag names, and to perform actions, such as a deploy action, to all members of the group in a single user-generated event. The mechanism allows a user to perform a search of portlets meeting specified criteria. The user may then select portlets from the result set for deployment as a group. The mechanism also allows a user of the bookmarking service to tag pre-configured portlet groupings, or portal tabs. Users may choose to deploy not just a tagged portlet, but an entire tab of portlets in a single deployment action. The mechanism may also allow a user to deploy a collection of portal tabs.
