## com.bea.netuix.application.view
Interface DesktopView

All Superinterfaces
  MarkupBasedView, ParentView, Serializable, View

    public interface DesktopView

extends MarkupBasedView, ParentView

The Desktop View is the highest level View object. When retrieving this object you will get all the child objects contained within a portal.

"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.

A desktop can be obtained in "deep" (the default) or "shallow" mode. In shallow mode, the main book view object is created in shallow mode (see comments for BookView), and all querying methods for book, page, and portlet view objects will return null. By default, DesktopViews are constructed in deep mode. There are specific methods in the portal persistence API to retrieve shallow desktop views. If a DesktopView was constructed in shallow mode, then any child BookView or PageView obtained by traversing View children will be shallow.

Method Detail

### getDesktopInstanceId

    DesktopInstanceId getDesktopInstanceId()

  Getter for the Desktop instance id. The instance id is the primary key value for the Desktop instance in the PF_DESKTOP_INSTANCE table. A Desktop Definition may have many instance; these instance are created when administrators or users customize their portal. A Desktop Definition always has at least one instance, namely the "primary" instance.

  Returns
    a non-null unique definition id. This value should never be null as views are obtained via the persistence API.

### getDesktopDefinitionId

    DesktopDefinitionId getDesktopDefinitionId()

  Getter for the desktop definition id. The definition id is the primary key value for the desktop definition in the PF_DESKTOP_DEFINITION table. The desktop definition id differs from other portal ids in that it is not an auto generated field. It is a composite primary key derived from three fields: The web app name, the portal path and the desktop path. A Desktop Definition always has at least one instance namely the "primary" instance.

  Returns
    a non-null unique definition id.

### getDesktopInstance

    DesktopInstance getDesktopInstance()

  Retrieve the associated `DesktopInstance` from this Desktop View. Desktop Views are immutable but Instances and 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.

  Returns
    a non-null Desktop Instance.

### getDesktopDefinition

    DesktopDefinition getDesktopDefinition()

  Retrieve the associated `DesktopDefinition` from this Desktop View. Desktop Views are immutable but Instances and 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.

  Returns
    a non-null Desktop Definition.

### getLocalizationResourceView

    LocalizationResourceView getLocalizationResourceView()

  The Localization resource contains the localized title and description for this desktop.

  Returns
    a non-null LocalizationResourceView customized per the request.

### getShellView

    ShellView getShellView()

  Retrieve the shell for this desktop. A Shell represents an area on the desktop that is created by the developer and is immutable via the persistence API. Shells, however, can be swapped out on a desktop.

  Returns
    a non-null ShellView object associated with this desktop.

### getBookView

    BookView getBookView()

  Get the primary book for this desktop. This BookView represent the main book view on the desktop.

  Returns
