Component Profile 
This section contains properties that make up the profile of the Portal component as accessed by the com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.IPortalComponentProfile interface at runtime. The profile is usually abstracted in the iView entity. The values of the properties are the default values:
Name |
Possible Values |
Description |
ConfigRootFolder |
/com.sap.myapplication.mycomponent |
String representing the path within the overall configuration structure of the component specific configuration. |
CachingLevel |
Shared: The cache content is shared among all users. User: The content is private for each user Session: The content of the component is cached all the time the (Servlet) session is running, whether or not a user is connected. This level is used to cache information related to the browser's sessions |
String representing the scope of the cache. |
ValidityPeriod |
The time period in milliseconds |
Defines the time in milliseconds for which the content of the cache is valid. |
EPCFLevel |
1: This component does not use the EPCF at all. Therefore neither script nor applets will be included 2: This level includes all EPCF features that use pure JavaScript 3: This level includes all features of level 1 and additional features that use applets
|
Defines whether or not the enterprise portal client framework is used. If two or more embedded iViews with different EPCFLevel values meet on one page (within the same frame), the effective level is computed as the maximum of all EPCFLevel values on this page. The default value is 2. |
Each property may have additional attributes describing how the properties are handled with respect to personalization and meta-data handling. Attributes of profile properties are denoted by sub-properties.
The property “Color” has two sub-properties:
· personalization – defines the type of personalization allowed by the property editor
· type – defines the relevant value of this property
The portal runtime does not make any assumptions concerning the semantics of those sub-properties. The property attributes are basically used at design time (by administration tools) or during personalization:
<property name="Color" value="red"> <property name="personalization" value="dialog"/> <property name="type" value="select[red,green,blue]"/> </property> |
