Adding Portal Controls to Java Page Flows

Page Flows let you control a user's path through an application. The actions (such as a button click) and conditions (such as whether the user's login succeeded or failed or whether or not the user is a manager) determine which JSP the user it taken to next in the application. Portal Controls provide a variety of actions and ways to incorporate conditions that give you precise control over both a user's path through your applications and what occurs on that path.

This section provides descriptions of and guidance on using Portal Controls in your Page Flows.

Note: WebLogic Portal also supports the legacy use of deprecated controls from the initial product release. If you have deprecated controls in your Page Flows, and you want to upgrade to the replacement controls to take advantage of new features, go to your Page Flow's Source View, click in the name of the control, and press F1. The Javadoc that appears tells you which control to use instead of the deprecated control.
