How to achive Geo Targetting in Weblogic Portal 10.3

Question

Hi,
We have a requirement of Geo Targetting in Weblogic Portal 10.3. Requirement is that once the Portal is rendered first time, based on IP tracking, content & services for that region need to be shown.
Need to understand is there any API or feature to achieve this?
Also, we are creating the desktops out of the portal, so will it be possible to have geo targetting code in .portal & once desktops are created through portal, is it going to reflect the Geo Targeting feature in desktops.
Thanks,
Uttam

Your question is too generic to be answered. Detecting which country the user is from does not have anything specific to do with BEA portal, you'd implement this as in any other J2EE app. Once you know this,
Where / how is this country specific content stored? Its likely that there isnt one answer for this. You might be
a. Storing this in CMS
b. Have some form based labels that arent country specific. have validations messages.
c. Have country specific images (e.g. buttons)
d. have some content that you get from other systems in your enterprise and or your database.
e. have rules for defaulting e.g. if no france specific content use usa.
There are various ways you could model each of the above but since we dont know the constraints / context of your question , its doubtful anyone can give you any useful answer. If there is a specific question you have (e.g. Im storing content in the BEA repository in the following model , how would I vary what the user sees) you might get an answer for those.
