Send data to the Web Content Viewer portlet

Use WCM presentation components to create user interfaces for creating, modifying, and deleting external data.

Use WCM design components to generate HTML form markup. The form can use input fields to collect information from web site users, in combination with hidden input fields that provide the interaction context, which includes a target URI identifying the data sink that receives and processes the information that users post using the form.

The Web Content Viewer portlet forwards the information the user typed into the HTML form to the specified target URI, and sets the result information either as a private render parameter, or as a session attribute. After the user submits the form, the portal renders the page with the updates. The list rendering appearance component can then access the result information using the session attribute or render parameter plug-in tags.
