public interface PlaceableView
View class for a placeable, which is either a book or a portlet. In other words, Parent Pages can contain both child Portlets and child Books. Placeables is a term/interface used to represent either one of these. A placeable is an item that can be placed on a page.
"Views" are deep copy immutable objects. Unlike "Definitions" and "Instances" Views cannot be modified by the developer. An Instance or a Definition however can always be obtained from the view. The persistence APIs provide coarse grain and fine grain getters, but only fine grain setters. If you are interested in an object and all its children then retrieve the View, but if you are only interested in the immediate object and don't care about its children then retrieve the Definition.

Method Detail |

PlaceableInstance getPlaceableInstance()
Retrieve the associated PlaceableInstance
from this Placeable View. Placeable Views are
immutable but Placeable Instances and Placeable Definitions are not. Therefore it is often necessary to
retrieve the instance from the view in order to update its values and then in turn call the persistence API.
instanceof
.PlaceableDefinition getPlaceableDefinition()
Retrieve the associated PlaceableDefinition
from this Placeable View. Placeable Views are immutable but
Placeable Definitions are not. Therefore it is often necessary to retrieve the definition from the view in
order to update its values and then in turn call the persistence API. The Placeable Definition is constructed
(in the database) either via API or by disassembling a
.portal file.
LocalizationResourceView getLocalizationResourceView()
The Localization resource contains the localized title and description for this placeable.
String getDefinitionLabel()
The unique definition label. For books this is defined in the .portal file, and for portlets this is defined in the .portlet file.
String getLabel()
A unique label. For books this is definition label and for portlets this is the instance label.
int getPlaceholderPosition()
Get the placeholder position of the placeable.
PlaceholderDefinitionId getPlaceholderDefinitionId()
Get the placeholderDefinitionId of the placeable.
PlacementId getPlacementId()
Getter for a portlet's or book's placement id. The placement id represents a unique placement of a portlet or book on a page. Pages may contain Books just like they may contain Portlets. If this portlet is placed on a Page then this placement id represents the primary key value of the PF_PLACEMENT.PLACEMENT_ID value in the database. Note: If this view is a book then this book might not have been placed on a page as it may be placed on another book or be the main book of the desktop. Also, if this view was obtained directly and not from a parent view object then this value may also be null.
