Introduction

This chapter contains information on the display profile definitions and the properties of the building-block and internally used container providers that ship with Sun Java System Portal Server software.

Container providers enable you to aggregate channels inside the Desktop. The container building-block providers are building blocks in a sense since you can also customize them or use them differently by changing the container properties. They include:

• JSPTableContainerProvider - JSPTableContainerProvider is an extension of JSPProvider. This JSP table provider displays the content channels in a table.

• JSPTabContainerProvider - JSPTabContainerProvider is an extension of JSPProvider. This tab container provider displays a channel that is made up of a number of tabs with titles on them. By default, the JSPTabContainerProvider uses JSPTableContainer to lay out content for each tab. However, it can use JSPTableContainer, JSPSingleContainer, or JSPTabContainer to layout content for each tab.

• JSPSingleContainerProvider - JSPSingleContainerProvider is an extension of the JSP container provider. The single container provider displays one channel in it.

See the Javadocs for more information on these containers.
