Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Technical Reference

Default Display Profile Settings

The provider responsible for generating the JSPTabContainer channel is JSPTabContainerProvider. The provider profile is the template which decides the properties for a container channel, but the container channel profile will ultimately decide the values for the container channel attributes.

The properties that make up JSPTabContainer work as follows by default.

contentPage

Set to tab.jsp. This draws the Content Page for the tab container.

editPage

Set to tabedit.jsp. This displays the Edit page for the tab container where new tabs can be added, and existing tabs removed or renamed.

startTab

Sets the tab that opens first on the Desktop as MyFrontPageTabPanelContainer.

maxTabs

Allows six tabs to be created. As there are currently five tabs, one more can be added.

makeTabProvider

Used when creating a new tab from scratch.

channelNumber

Specifies that a number is appended to a newly created tab as the channel name. This number is increased each time a new tab is created, so that the new tab will have unique name. For example, to create a new tab based on MyFrontPageTabPanelContainer in JSPTabContainer, the new tab channel name would be JSPTabContainer/MyFrontPageTabPanelContainer1. (The new tab name is actually the channelName property in the display profile plus the value of the channelNumber property. The channelNumber is incremented by one each time a new tab is created.)

contentChannel

Specifies JSPContentContainer as the content channel that provides the Content page displaying channels to add to a user-created tab.

presetThemeChannel

Specifies JSPPresetThemeContainer as the channel that is displayed in the Theme - Preset Theme page.

customThemeChannel

Specifies JSPCustomThemeContainer as the channel that is displayed in the Theme - Custom Theme page.

Available
