Editing the Display Profile

The developer needs to edit the display profile document and specify the <Container> and <Provider> display profile elements where applicable. The tags that should be modified are:

<Provider name="provider" class="provider class">
<Container name="container" provider="provider">

For JSP files, the <Properties> tag for the provider contains the following property tag, which references the JSP Content page:

<String name="contentPage" value="value">

The <Properties> tag for the channel can have values that override the properties set in the <Provider> tag. Thus, if desired, you could set the JSP contentPage value here. You do not reference template-based providers, or other providers you might develop, in this way.

The <Available> and <Selected> tags are required for all containers in the display profile.

The JSP-based tab, table, and frametab containers have additional properties requirements.

There is a distinction between a provider element in the display profile and the Java class for the provider.

Provider element

<Provider name="JSPTableContainer" class=com.sun.portal.providers.containers.jsp.table.JSPTableContainerProvider>

Java class

com.sun.portal.providers.containers.jsp.table.JSPTableContainerProvider

You can modify display profile objects by performing one of the following:

• Using the Portal Server software administration console to download the display profile and uploading it after modifying it.

• Manually editing an existing display profile document and then loading it at the appropriate LDAP node by using the psadmin modify-display-profile subcommand.

• Creating a new display profile document from scratch and then loading it at the appropriate LDAP node by using the psadmin add-display-profile subcommand.

For more information on display profile and the psadmin subcommands to manage the display profile, see the Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Command Line Reference.
