Method Detail

createLanguage

org.apache.pluto.om.common.Language createLanguage(Locale locale,
                                                   String title,
                                                   String shortTitle,
                                                   String description,
                                                   Collection keywords)
                                                   throws RegistryException

Throws:

RegistryException

getAllPortletDefinitions

Collection getAllPortletDefinitions()

getPortletApplication

MutablePortletApplication getPortletApplication(org.apache.pluto.om.common.ObjectID id)

Retreives a PortletApplication by it's unique ObjectID. The unqiue ObjectID is generally a function of the native storage mechanism of the container whether it be auto-generated by an RDBMS, O/R tool or some other mechanism. This is different than the portlet applaiction's unique indentfier which is specified within the portlet.xml

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

getPortletApplication

MutablePortletApplication getPortletApplication(String name)

Retreives a PortletApplication by it's unique name. We use PortletApplicationComposite interface which extends the PortletApplication and adds additional functionallity to it.

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

PortletApplicationComposite

getPortletApplicationByIdentifier

MutablePortletApplication getPortletApplicationByIdentifier(String identifier)

Locates a portlet application using it's unique identifier field.

Parameters:

identifier - Unique id for this portlet application

Returns:

portlet application matching this unique id.

getPortletApplications

Collection getPortletApplications()

getPortletDefinitionByIdentifier

PortletDefinitionComposite getPortletDefinitionByIdentifier(String identifier)

Locates a portlet using it's unique identifier field.
This method automatically calls getStoreableInstance(PortletDefinitionComposite portlet) on the returned PortletEntityInstance

Parameters:

identifier - Unique id for this portlet

Returns:

Portlet matching this unique id.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If PortletDefinitionComposite != null AND PortletDefinitionComposite.getPortletApplicationDefinition() == null. The reason for this is that every PortletDefinition is required to have a parent PortletApplicationDefinition

getPortletDefinition

PortletDefinitionComposite getPortletDefinition(org.apache.pluto.om.common.ObjectID id)

Locates the portlet defintion by its unique ObjectID. The ObjectID is generated internally by the portal when the portlet definition is first registered and has no connection to the information stored within the portlet.xml.

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

PortletDefinitionComposite

getPortletDefinitionByUniqueName

PortletDefinitionComposite getPortletDefinitionByUniqueName(String name)

unique name is a string formed by the combination of a portlet's unique within it's parent application plus the parent application's unique name within the portlet container using ":" as a delimiter.
FORMAT: application name::portlet name
EXAMPLE: com.myapp.portletApp1::weather-portlet
This methos automatically calls getStoreableInstance(PortletDefinitionComposite portlet) on the returned PortletEntityInstance

Parameters:

name - portlets unique name.

Returns:

Portlet that matches the unique name

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If PortletDefinitionComposite != null AND PortletDefinitionComposite.getPortletApplicationDefinition() == null. The reason for this is that every PortletDefinition is required to have a parent PortletApplicationDefinition

portletApplicationExists

boolean portletApplicationExists(String appIentity)

Checks whether or not a portlet application with this identity has all ready been registered to the container.

Parameters:

appIdentity - portlet application indetity to check for.

Returns:

boolean true if a portlet application with this identity is alreay registered, false if it has not.

namedPortletApplicationExists

boolean namedPortletApplicationExists(String appName)

namedPortletApplicationExists

Parameters:

appName -

Returns:

portletDefinitionExists

boolean portletDefinitionExists(String portletIndentity)

Checks whether or not a portlet with this identity has all ready been registered to the container.

Parameters:

portletIndentity - portlet indetity to check for.

Returns:

boolean true if a portlet with this identity is alreay registered, false if it has not.

portletDefinitionExists

boolean portletDefinitionExists(String portletName,
                                MutablePortletApplication app)

Checks whether or not a portlet with this identity has all ready been registered to the PortletApplication.

Parameters:

portletIndentity - portlet indetity to check for.

app - PortletApplication to check .

Returns:

boolean true if a portlet with this identity is alreay registered, false if it has not.

registerPortletApplication

void registerPortletApplication(org.apache.pluto.om.portlet.PortletApplicationDefinition newApp)
                                throws RegistryException

updatePortletApplication

void updatePortletApplication(org.apache.pluto.om.portlet.PortletApplicationDefinition app)
                              throws RegistryException

Makes any changes to the PortletApplicationDefinition persistent.

Parameters:

app -

Throws:

RegistryException
