Set flags

The Controller SPI allows you to set flags for resources. For example, you can set a flag for a page so that portal users can bookmark the page.

You set flags for resources either on modifiable instances of those resources or on controllers managing the resources. The following flags are available:

Flag	Flag is associated to resource	Flag is set on
ActiveFlag	ContentNode (resources that implement the ActiveFlag interface)	ModifiableContentNode
BookmarkableFlag	ContentNode (resources that implement the BookmarkableFlag interface)	ModifiableContentNode
ShareableFlag	ContentNode (resources that implement the ShareableFlag interface)	ModifiableContentNode
AllPortletsAllowedFlag	ContentPage	LayoutModelController
DeletableFlag	LayoutNode	LayoutModelController
ModifiableFlag	LayoutNode	LayoutModelController

Notes:

1. ContentNode is the super class of ContentPage, ContentLabel, ContentURL, and InternalContentURL.

2. LayoutNode is the super class of LayoutContainer and LayoutControl.

In case of layered resources, for example derived content pages, you set flags only on the layer on which you work. To set flags, use the appropriate method. For example, to set the ActiveFlag, use the setActiveFlag method on the ModifiableContentNode instance. For more details about how the flags are aggregated in derivation scenarios refer to the Model SPI documentation.
Example 1 - Setting the DeletableFlag for a layout container:

// set modifiable flag on the layout model controller
lmController.setDeletableFlag(container, true);

Example 2 - Setting the BookmarkableFlag for a content page:

 // obtain modifiable instance of an existing content page 
    final Modifiable modifiable = cmController.getModifiableNode(page);  
// set modifiable flag on the modifiable instance 
    ((ModifiableBookmarkableFlag) modifiable).setBookmarkableFlag(true);
