Wires: Matching mode

The matching mode determines whether or not a wire can be created between a source and target portlet, depending on the semantic or payload types the portlets support. Before creating a wire, select one of the following matching modes:

Consider semantic types only for matching sources and targets.

A wire can be created if the namespaced semantic types defined for the source and target portlets match. The payload type of the information transported over the wire is not taken into consideration. For example, this payload type can be java.lang.string or java.util.HashTable. Default matching mode. This mode is the most similar one to portal versions earlier than Version 6.1.

Consider payload types only for matching sources and targets.

A wire can be created if the payload types of the source and target portlets match, regardless of the namespaced semantic type defined for the source and target portlets.

Consider semantic or payload type for matching sources and targets.

A wire can be created if the namespaced semantic types or the payload types of the source and target portlets match. The least restrictive matching mode.
