Editing portlet properties

To edit portlet properties, open the Portlet Deployment Descriptor, and...

1. Expand the Portlet Application node in the tree view of the portlet deployment descriptor editor, and select the portlet that you want to edit.

   

2. Edit the properties of the portlet, as necessary:

   Property Name	Description
   Display name	Administrative name of the portlet application
   ID	Identifier of portlet
   Servlet	Servlet name for this portlet
   Major version	Major version number of the portlet
   Minor version	Minor version number of the portlet
   Cache	Cache expiration period and shared flag
   Allows	Portlet window states allowed
   Markups	Markups and portlet modes supported (View/Configure/Edit/Help)
   Config Parameters	Portlet configuration parameters, which are updated in web.xml file

3. To change the markups that are supported, click Add or Remove in the Markups group. To change portlet modes that are supported in each markup, click the appropriate cell in the Markups table and make the change.

   

4. Optionally, you can replace one servlet with another by using the Browse button in the Details section. Only servlets that are not in use are listed because servlets cannot be shared among portlets. Most of the servlet parameters cannot be edited using the portlet deployment descriptor editor. These parameters do not need to be edited in the process of developing portlets. They are displayed here only for reference. If they need to be edited, use the Web deployment descriptor editor.

5. To specify the portlet configuration parameters in the web.xml file, use the Add or Remove button in the Configuration Parameters group.
