About Remote Portlet Operations

There are many settings and options that apply only to portlets. In addition to manipulating portlet objects via IObjectManager, the IDK supports advanced remote portlet operations. Using the PRC IPortlet* interfaces, you can create and edit portlets and portlet templates, and manage Administrative and CommunityPortlet preferences for a specific portlet instance.

Note: The PRC IPortlet* interfaces in the IDK (com.plumtree.remote.prc) are different from the IDK portlet API (com.plumtree.remote.portlet). The interfaces in the portlet API are used to manage communication between a portlet and the portal, while the PRC IPortlet* interfaces provide access to administrative functionality related to the portlet objects stored in the portal.

For details on using remote portlet operations, see the following topics:
