Data Type of a PortalRegistry Object

PortalRegistry objects, and all objects instantiated from a PortalRegistry object, are declared as data type ApiObject. For example,

Local ApiObject &MyRegistry;

Local ApiObject &MyFolder, &MyAttributeValue;

Note: PortalRegistry objects can only be declared as Local.

Considerations Using Local Variables

When a local variable has a reference to an object and the end-user clicks the Back button on a browser, the local variable is set to NULL. This is always logged in the trace file.

Considerations Using Global Variables

Global variables are not available to a portal or applications on separate databases. They are available only on applications and Portals in the same database.
