WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration are Java Page Flow portlets that uses Portlet Preferences to control some of the behavior associated with each logical portlet instance. A number of default Portlet Preferences have been defined in the CompozeGroupware.portlet file. There are additional Portlet Preferences which can be added to specific instances of the Portlet when configuring the portlet via the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal. This section describes the Portlet Preferences associated with WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration which are used to configure various capabilities such as features and navigation.
The Groupware Portlet ship with a .portlet
file found at:
%COMPOZE_PORTLETS_HOME%\portlets\compoze\CompozeGroupware.portlet
The Content URI and otional Edit URI are as follows:
This property is the location of the content page flow JPF class. |
||
This property is the location of the edit page flow JPF class (optional). |
This section describes portlet preferences.
For each logical Portlet instance, the active features can be configured. By default, all features are active. By modifying, these preferences, a Portal Administrator can deploy multiple logical instances of the Groupware Portlet and configure which feature(s) is available in each instance. The following preferences can be found in the CompozeGroupware.portlet file and can altered by either modifying the CompozeGroupware.portlet or by configuring individual Portlet instances while using the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal.
Each page in the Groupware Portlet includes a title (also referred to as a "header") at the top. A portal administrator can optionally configure to display this title and if the title is displayed, can configure how navigation is used within the title. Note that all pages in maximized view of the portlet include the same JSP which is used to display the feature title and navigation. The following preferences determine if the title is displayed for each feature. By default, feature titles are enabled. To disable individual feature titles, the following Portlet Preference must be added to individual instances of the Groupware Portlet via the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal and configured to be false.
The title can be configured to support options navigation or features navigation. Options navigation provides a link to the feature options configuration in the title. Features navigation provides links to the features of the Groupware Portlet. This preference can be found in the CompozeGroupware.portlet file and can altered by either modifying the CompozeGroupware.portlet or by configuring individual Groupware Portlet instances while using the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal.
Each page in the Groupware Portlet also includes a navigation area (also referred to as a "left navigation area") at the left side of the portlet. A portal administrator can optionally configure to display this navigation area. Note that all pages in maximized view of the portlet include the same JSP which is used to display the left navigation area. The following preference determines if the left navigation area is displayed for all features. By default, the left navigation area is disabled. This preference can be found in the CompozeGroupware.portlet file and can enabled by either modifying the CompozeGroupware.portlet or by configuring individual Groupware Portlet instances while using the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal.
Each summary page in the home view of the Groupware Portlet includes two navigation areas: a navigation area (also referred to as a "top navigation area") at the top and bottom (also referred to as a "bottom navigation area") of the page. A portal administrator can optionally configure to display the top or bottom navigation areas. Note that even though the two navigation areas can be displayed simultaneously in two different sections areas of a summary page, it is the same JSP page which is optionally included in the both the top and bottom areas of the page.
The bottom navigation area preference can be found in the CompozeGroupware.portlet file and can altered by either modifying the CompozeGroupware.portlet file or by configuring individual Groupware Portlet instances while using the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal.
To enable the top navigation area, the following Portlet Preference must be added to individual instances of the Groupware Portlet via the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal and configured to be true.
If the top or bottom navigation is enabled in the home views, links will be available for each enabled feature, except Options, which will allow a user to access the Home view of a feature from the Home navigation area. To disallow users from accessing Home views for features, the following Portlet Preference must be added to individual instances of the Groupware Portlet via the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal and configured to be false.
The Groupware Portlet includes specialized areas for handling various error and exception scenarios which may occur in the Groupware Portlet. Depending on the type of error that occurred, the Groupware Portlet may forward to a pageflow which was designed to handle that specific error scenario or to a pageflow which is meant to handle more general types errors. If a general error occurs, the Groupware Portlet will forward to the compoze\content\error\general
pageflow. With the default configuration of the Groupware Portlet, general error display page will include an area where a stack trace of the exception that occured can be viewed. To configure the Groupware Portlet not to show the exception stack trace on the error page, the following Portlet Preference must be added to individual instances of the Groupware Portlet via the WebLogic Administration Tools Portal and configured to be false.
