Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Developer's Guide

Help Documentation

Help documentation for portlets follows a different scheme than in the providers. The help file name is stored as a preference and content is generated from that file the same way as any other content type.

getHelp()

In Provider, this method returns a helpURL which can be pointing to a static help file.

doHelp()

For portlets, this method has to be implemented for writing out the help content dynamically.
