When the action is edit, the DesktopServlet gets the named channel’s or edit container’s request parameters and starts to process the edit action. When the DesktopServlet receives a request where the action is edit, to perform the edit action, it takes the following parameters:
DesktopServletURL?action=edit&provider=ChannelName for backward compatibility
Or,
DesktopServletURL?action=edit&provider=editContainer&targetprovider=ChannelName
The DesktopServlet checks the edit types based on the values defined in the ProviderEditTypes interface.
