Sun Java System Portal Server 7 Developer's Guide

editType Property

For a provider, the editType display profile property can be specified to determine whether the provider implementation will draw the complete edit page or a subset of it.

For portlets, the editType is always EDIT_COMPLETE and the complete page including the form, the Finish, and the Cancel buttons have to be generated by the portlet. Only the banner and footer are drawn by the PortletEdit.jsp in PortalServer-DataDir/portals/portal-ID/desktop/default directory.
