Interface IPage

All Superinterfaces:

com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.IAttributeSet, IiView

public interface IPage

extends IiView

The semantic aspect of a page object. Defines the page object specific functionality.

Can be retreived by JNDI lookup:

Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
try
{
com.sapportals.portal.prt.jndisupport.InitialContext iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
IPage page = (IPage)iCtx.lookup(name);
}
catch (NamingException e)
{
// ...
}

Method Detail

setActiveLayout

public void setActiveLayout(java.lang.String atomicName)

Defines which of the available layouts is the active layout upon runtime.
A layout with the same name has to exist under the page.
Changes will only be persisted after IAttributeSet#save

Parameters:

name - the layout atomic name (relative to the page)

See Also:

getActiveLayoutObject()

getActiveLayoutObject

public ILayout getActiveLayoutObject()

Get the active layout of the page

Returns:

ILayout- the layout object

See Also:

setActiveLayout(String atomicName)

getLayouts

public javax.naming.NamingEnumeration getLayouts()
                                          throws javax.naming.NamingException

Get all layout objects under the page.

Returns:

NamingEnumeration- enumeration of layout objects.
Each element of the enumeration is of type Binding.
For example:
Enumeration en = page.getLayouts();
while (en.hasMoreElements())
{
Binding bind = (Binding)en.nextElement();
Object obj = bind.getObject();
if (obj instanceof ILayout)
{
// a layout child
}
}

Throws:

javax.naming.NamingException - if a JNDI naming exception is encountered

addLayout

public void addLayout(com.sap.portal.pcm.INewObjectDescriptor descriptor,
                      java.lang.String atomicName)
               throws com.sap.portal.pcm.OperationFailedException

Add a layout to the page. Changes will be persisted immediately.

Parameters:

descriptor - describes how to create the new object

name - the layout new name (relative to the page)

Throws:

com.sap.portal.pcm.OperationFailedException - if the addition failed.

removeLayout

public void removeLayout(java.lang.String layoutAtomicName)
                  throws com.sap.portal.pcm.OperationFailedException

Remove layout from the page. Changes will be persisted immediately.

Parameters:

layoutAtomicName - the name of the object to remove, relative to the page.

Throws:

com.sap.portal.pcm.OperationFailedException - if the removal failed.

getiViews

public javax.naming.NamingEnumeration getiViews()
                                         throws javax.naming.NamingException

Get all iView / page objects under the page.

Returns:

NamingEnumeration- an enumeration of iView / page objects.
Each element of the enumeration is of type Binding.
For example:
Enumeration en = page.getiViews();
while (en.hasMoreElements())
{
Binding bind = (Binding)en.nextElement();
Object obj = bind.getObject();
if (obj instanceof IPage)
{
// a page child
}
if (obj instanceof IiView)
{
// an iView child
}
}

Throws:

javax.naming.NamingException - if a JNDI naming exception is encountered

addiView

public void addiView(com.sap.portal.pcm.INewObjectDescriptor descriptor,
                     java.lang.String atomicName,
                     java.lang.String layoutContainer)
              throws com.sap.portal.pcm.OperationFailedException

Add a new iView / page object to the page, into a specific layout-container. Changes will be persisted immediately.

Parameters:

descriptor - describes how to create the new object

atomicName - the new object name (relative to the page)

layoutContainer - the layout-container to put the object in. null for default container

Throws:

com.sap.portal.pcm.OperationFailedException - if the addition failed.

Add an iView/page object to the page. Changes will be persisted immediately.

Parameters:

descriptor - describes how to create the new object
