Packages of the Controller SPI

Packages of the Controller SPI

The portal provides the SPI Controller in several separate packages.
These packages are as follows:

Package Description
com.ibm.portal Holds the following interfaces:

Base interfaces for the Controller SPI, for example Modifiable and Controller.
Modifiable interfaces, such as ModifiableActiveFlag, ModifiableLocalized, ModifiableMetaData.

com.ibm.portal.admin Modifiable interfaces, for example the ModifiableMarkupCapable and the LanguageListController.
com.ibm.portal.content Holds the following interfaces:

Interfaces for content and layout model controller modifiable interfaces for content and layout nodes. For example, these can be ModifiableContentPage or ModifiableLayoutContainer.

Modifiable interfaces for modifiable aspects of content and layout nodes, for example ModifiableBookmarkableFlag

Creation contexts for creating content pages and layout nodes, for example LayoutContainerCreationContext.

com.ibm.portal.model.controller Holds home and provider interfaces to obtain controllers, including a builder factory for CreationContext instances.
com.ibm.portal.model.controller.exceptions Holds controller specific exceptions.
com.ibm.portal.portlet Holds the following interfaces:

Interfaces for the portlet model controller.

Modifiable interfaces for portlet definitions, entities and preferences, for example ModifiablePortletPreferences and ModifiablePortletEntity.

Portlet creation and cloning context interfaces.

A controller interface usually resides in the same package as its corresponding read-only Model SPI interface.
