Paging Links builder inputs

This topic describes the inputs for the Paging Links builder.

Table 1. Paging Links builder inputs
Input Name Description
Name Name for this builder call. The WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer displays this name in the builder call list.
Page Location Page or pages on which this builder call acts.
Alternatively, you can type in the page location syntax directly.
Assistant Name The name of the Paging Assistant builder to use as a data source.
Maximum Links Upper limit on number of links to show.
Link Text Overrides

Override Link text Enable this input to specify your own text for the First, Prev, Next, and Last link buttons. (When this input is enabled, input areas are displayed in which you can enter text.)
To turn the links off, enable this input and leave the text input areas blank.
Disable this input to use the text in the incoming HTML.
Note: If you use an indirect reference to link text, you need to use < and > coding in indirect link labels that may contain < or > so that they display correctly in the browser.
When static text values such as NEXT> are added as the XML child of an HTML <a> tag, the XML processor knows to encode the > as >. If you use an indirect reference such as ${Variables/prev} and your variable is a string with the value <PREV, that gets turned into a JSP expression within the <a> tag, and not XML text, so there is no automatic XML encoding.
In such cases, your link text label in your variable should be set to something like <PREV or NEXT> so that the angle brackets are pre-encoded before the JSP code fetches those indirect values on the page.
Advanced

HTML Page

HTML file to use as the Imported Page base instead of default HTML.
Make URLs Absolute Enable this input whenever the HTML code contains relative URLs, whether or not this is a local file.
Disable this input if you are using a page that references other Web sites so that external links will work.
